Briar Mews, Blackhill

This is a five-bedroom detached property located in a cul-de-sac within a highly desirable residential development. The stone-built home boasts a detached double garage, stylish features, a large driveway for six vehicles, and a generous floor plan. It is a must-see property!

As you approach the property, you will notice its brilliant position, nestled in a quiet corner of the cul-de-sac. A smart electric gate provides access to the expansive block-paved driveway, which can accommodate up to six cars. In addition, there is a large detached double garage with electricity supply, providing additional parking. A curved border lawn with a sunken trampoline surrounds the front of the property and sweeps around to the side garden, which has been purposed as a children's play area.

Upon entering the property, you step into an initial vestibule with access to a ground floor W.C which the current vendor has improved in recent years. Beyond this, you will find a graceful hallway with stairs leading up to the first floor and doors leading off to the ground floor accommodation.

This large family home benefits from a versatile floor plan, with an abundance of reception spaces. Two reception rooms are located off the hallway, which can be utilised as a home office, library, hobby room, additional lounge or more formal sitting room. The rooms are adorned with tasteful panelling and have been decorated beautifully, creating an elegant and impressive reception space. The first reception room features a decorative fireplace mantle, and the other has a beautiful gas fire with an ornate surround. Both rooms have coving and an ornate ceiling rose, while French doors help to create a seamless indoor/outdoor flow.

To the rear of the property, there is a gorgeous open living space that incorporates the kitchen, utility dining room and lounge. The current vendor has reconfigured this space by opening up the rooms to create a sense of flow, making it perfect for entertaining. The lounge diner features French doors to both aspects, some statement panelling, and an electric fire feature. The vendor has advised that there is a gas fire behind it.

The kitchen is beautiful, with a gorgeous quartz work surface, which creates a sense of elegance and quality. It comprises a range of wall and base units and flows into a separate utility room. The vendor has installed an integrated dishwasher during their ownership and indicated that the free-standing appliances could be included following further negotiations.

To the first floor, there is a landing with access to the first-floor accommodation. Doors lead off to all of the five bedrooms and the family bathroom. The family bathroom comprises an elegant white suite with a freestanding bath and a separate shower. One of the bedrooms has en-suite facilities, which have been recently refurbished and comprise a vanity sink basin, W.C, and mains shower in a cubicle. The en-suite also benefits from some fitted storage.

One of the bedrooms benefits from fitted wall-to-ceiling wardrobes, and another has French doors that open to a Juliette balcony with wrought iron enclosure. The bedroom over the extension has a gorgeous vaulted ceiling with a statement pendant light feature. There are also a multitude of windows and two French doors, which provide some countryside views to the rear. The owner has had perfect fit, blackout thermal blinds installed in this bedroom, and an electric blind fitted to the skylight.

To the rear of the property, there is a generous garden with a paved seating area surrounded by a sophisticated stone surround. Over the lawn, there is a summerhouse with a mains electric supply, perfect for unwinding at the end of the day in the summer months. Well-established planting provides plenty of privacy.

The seller has advised that they have installed a new gas combination boiler in February 2022, and there has also been some partial rewiring in places, in addition to a new fuse board. There is also CCTV covering both the front and rear of the property.
