Alcocks Lane, Kingswood

Refurbished in recent years, an excellent six-bedroom family home of over 6,500 sq ft and featuring a four-car garage and large office or studio annexe.

In the years following the introduction of the railway to Kingswood in 1897, some of Kingswood’s earliest country houses were built, including this impressive property which was individually designed and built in 1903.

The house has been extensively and sympathetically refurbished in recent years. Modern refinements were added while period features were restored to create a family home with perfectly balanced family accommodation over three floors. There are three spacious living rooms arranged around a central reception hall. The country style kitchen has bespoke fitted oak-fronted cabinets, granite surfaces and integrated appliances, even the slate floor has underfloor heating.

There are six bedrooms over first and second floors, served by bathrooms and shower room at each level and the principal suite and second bedroom both have walk in wardrobes. In addition there is a large snooker / games room.

Above the four-car garage there is a 34’ office or potential studio flat and there is parking for several cars on the gated frontage. The beautiful rear garden has many spaces to enjoy the tranquillity and a full width terrace, ideal for entertaining.

On the edge of the village, this property is within a few minutes’ walk from Kingswood Station with its frequent services to London Bridge and Victoria.
