Description
Laurel House occupies almost half an acre of glorious grounds including a walled garden, gated driveway with double garage and newly built car barn. There is potential to extend the property or convert the garage into an annexe, subject to planning.
The handsome front door opens into a large central hallway with a cloakroom and stairs to the first floor. To the left of the hallway is a wonderful dual aspect living room, with a leaded bay window to the front and large patio doors which look out over the rear garden. The focal point for this impressive room is a large wood burning stove set within a lovely, exposed brick chimney breast with oak bressummer. The wood burner is linked to the radiators and in turn dramatically reduces bills and energy consumption. Double doors lead into a generously proportioned dining room, which also enjoys views over the beautiful rear gardens.
The kitchen/breakfast room has recently been updated and has an array of wall and floor units which have been finished with sleek worktops and metro style tiles. The kitchen is further complemented by a useful utility room with plumbing for white goods, additional fitted units and access to both the front and rear gardens.
There is potential to knock through the kitchen into the dining area to create a large open plan family space.
The downstairs space is further enhanced by an additional reception room currently used as a playroom but could equally make an ideal home office.
A grand oak staircase rises to the first floor, there is a galleried landing which leads to four double bedrooms and a well-appointed and recently updated family bathroom. The main bedroom has a walk-in wardrobe, an en-suite shower room and superb views over the gardens and the countryside beyond.
OUTSIDE:
Laurel House is set within a generous and secluded plot which measures almost half an acre with the house being set back from the road and screened by new fencing and a wall of tall and mature trees and bushes. A set of electronic wrought iron double gates open onto a gravelled driveway which provides parking for around eight cars. There is a detached brick-built garage with twin up and over doors, power, light, eaves storage and an additional rear section ideal for use as an office, workshop or gym.
The current owner has built a double car barn, which has a vaulted ceiling and solid wood beams.
The front garden is mainly laid to lawn with pretty and well planted beds and a variety of mature trees, including a rose tree and two olive trees. A paved pathway leads through a gated side access to a truly stunning rear garden. This has a lovely full width patio looking out over large expanses of lawn, interspersed with beautifully planted flower beds and a variety of mature fruit trees including fig, plum, green gauge and vines.
A studio cabin has been erected in the garden and has been fully insulated and has electric heating and lighting it is currently used as a home office but would be a perfect art studio or summer house.
The garden stretches down to an original brick wall and looks over onto a small orchard.
