Fernhill Road, Blackwater, GU17

A unique four-bedroom property with a secluded garden, situated on a remarkably extensive plot of land, in excess of a quarter of an acre. Designed as a family home with multi-generational living options for a discerning buyer that enjoys rural surroundings while close to urban facilities.

There is a sweep in gravel parking area for several vehicles with a resplendent French oak framed open garage for two further cars, bespoke made for this lovely home with a tiled roof and rafter storage.

The striking wood framed entrance porch leads through the sage green front door and into the inviting hallway. The beautiful oak wood flooring and eggshell walls are neutral and light floods in from the windows.

The formal living room is charming and cosy with an enticing wood burning stove situated on a black slate hearth and wooden display shelf over. The harmonious décor and feature deep windowsill create a refined room for family and friends to gather.

The exquisite kitchen was re-fitted just two years ago when the breath taking extension was built. The ivory units are complimented by the Wedgewood blue décor, marine blue tiles and speckled grey granite worktops. A Hotpoint gas hob and electric oven with Zanussi extractor are ideal for baking with display shelving for your kitchenalia. The sink with speciality spray tap sits in a breakfast bar overlooking the dining area and garden beyond, the perfect spot for entertaining.

The large extension is open plan from the kitchen and has been fitted with underfloor heating, dimmer lighting and full width bi-fold doors, allowing the garden to truly become part of the home in the summer months. The dining area is capacious and can accommodate a large family dining table and cabinetry to store all your best crockery and table settings.

This room also opens out into a second living room/family room with another set of patio doors to a side patio. The room is exceptionally light and airy as it also benefits from two large lantern roof windows above. An unparalleled striking room that will set the stage for many years of hosting. 

A useful cloakroom sits between the kitchen and downstairs bedroom. Previously a laundry room, it currently houses the dishwasher, but this can be swapped with the washing machine in the kitchen if desired.

Part of the extension completed two years ago with underfloor heating was originally designed as an annex. This consists of an awe-inspiring bedroom with cosmopolitan ensuite and a separate sitting room. These two rooms could be joined by an internal door if required.

The Annex bedroom has patio doors to the garden and is a nicely appointed double with dimmer lighting and neutral décor and the ensuite has been fitted to a very high standard with built in vanity units and a double shower cubicle. The associated lounge has a pleasant outlook to the front of the home and is currently being used as a reading room but could also be utilised as a games room or home office.

Upstairs there are three further bedrooms and a family bathroom offering versatile accommodation to a family. However, there is further extension potential on the first floor.

Bedroom One has a vista of the garden and is a delightful double room with built in mink and cream designer wardrobes. This room embraces you in the most sublimely beautiful way.

Bedroom Two is another spacious double with a wall of wardrobe storage including two mirrored doors and a luxurious grey carpet. A charming room with calming ambiance and picture window overlooking the drive.

A fourth bedroom, decorated in a peach tone with over stairs storage, is currently being utilised as a home office; this could also be a chic dressing room.

The modern family bathroom with contrasting dark wood flooring and white suite has two shower options over the bath including a Mira electric shower for an invigorating start to the day. The sleek tiling has a mixed grey frieze, and the oval wash basin elevates the stylish yet functional aspect of this room.

The loft is partially boarded with an inbuilt ladder and lighting, the fully serviced boiler is housed in the loft.

Externally this interesting plot has areas divided into formal lawns for summer recreation, an orchard with fabulous fruit trees and vegetable and soft fruit raised beds creating your own personal allotment. A grow your own self-sufficient lifestyle alongside the well-stocked flower beds and spring bulbs is a true gardeners dream.  The grounds also include a greenhouse with its own water tap, workshop shed with power and light, two wood stores, a summerhouse and two further storage sheds. A raised patio area with security lighting, power point and second water tap embraces the rear and side of the house and would be perfect for al fresco dining enjoying the captivating garden.

 Previously options have been explored for dividing the plot and creating a second dwelling – more information available upon request.
