Thorndean Drive, Warninglid

Originally called Kings Place this luxury gated development was built in 1993 by Persimmon Homes. In a nod to the road name, all properties were designated a Kings name. This was the Henry, one of the largest of the units. Our clients purchased the house a decade ago and in 2015 completed a substantial extension across the rear of the property, some 4.5m in depth. Today, the property enjoys over 3000 sqft of beautifully presented family accommodation with a detached double garage, sizeable driveway parking and a completely secluded well stocked south facing rear garden. One of its unique features is the ground floor suite of bedroom, living room and shower room served by its own front door that could create a granny or staff annexe, treatment rooms or B & B option. It could also extend the bedrooms to 7 if required.Approached through wrought iron electric metal gates and brick pillars the development comprises of just 14 detached houses accessed from a central tarmac road with a planted island at the head of the cul de sac. The visitor is greeted by a spacious open hallway and staircase with cloakroom off to one side, access to the principal receptions and the stunning L shaped open plan kitchen diner with adjacent utility. The main living room has an open fireplace which is used, as does the dining room. A trio of rooms on the western side of the house are accessed from the hall or from the external side door. Presently used as a study and family room, they are separated by a useful shower room which gives the option to use these spaces as a form of annexe.The first floor offers 5 bedrooms, two of which are ensuite plus a large family bathroom. A vast flat roof area covered in plastic grass matting is accessed from a door out of one of the bedrooms to the south and has the potential to become a lovely balcony subject to building regulation compliance. A drop down ladder leads from the landing to a large and spacious roof space that is part boarded.Features within the house include oak hallway, part underfloor heating from oil fired central heating system, black granite counter tops, two dishwashers, tiled flooring throughout most of the ground floor and all bathrooms. Outside a full width paved patio connects with a fabulous covered barbeque area with adjoining timber storage shed. The brick and tiled double garage with electric door, sits to the front right of the driveway with a personnel door. To the side of this, a pretty wrought iron gate opens into an area housing the bulk oil storage tank and lean-to log store. Beyond the paved terrace a well-stocked garden is bounded by high evergreen hedging with rockery feature, specimen trees and shrubs. There is a pretty iron pergola with climber and timber corner seat unit looking back across the lawn towards the house.LOCATIONThe development lies behind an electric gated entrance off the Old Brighton Road a mile west of the ancient settlement of Warninglid.
