Description & Accommodation

73 Eastern Road is an elegant detached family home which was extended and comprehensively refurbished by the present owners some years ago. The house and gardens are beautifully maintained and presented, meaning that this is an ideal house for the busy professional with no time for renovations. With playing fields to both front and rear, this property enjoys a most unique and delightful aspect.

The accommodation, which is practically laid out over three floors, is entered via a glazed porch with part-glazed inner front door leading into the welcoming reception hall. There is a cloakroom WC off the hall, and glazed doors opening into the three reception rooms. The large sitting room has glorious garden views with glazed doors running the full width of the room and large skylights above making the most of the sunny south-westerly aspect. An automatic awning to the outside provides some welcome shade on warmer days. The dining room interconnects with the sitting room via part glazed double doors. Large French doors open onto the rear terrace and provide fine garden views as well as allowing a great deal of natural light to flood into the room.

The kitchen is semi open-plan off the dining room making it ideal for sociable entertaining. There is an array of cream fronted base and wall units with brushed chrome fittings and integrated appliances including fridge freezer, dishwasher, double oven, microwave, and gas hob with extractor over. Two windows overlook the garden with skylights above for additional light. A door off the kitchen leads to the utility room and another door leads into the garage.

The study is located at the front of the house and has a wide bay window, a fireplace with living flame gas fire and a door off leading through to a side store room which was formerly used as a study, running the full depth of the house and having heating and electrics and with a door at one end leading out to the front drive and a door at the other end to the garden, adjacent to which is a separate WC.

On the first floor are three double bedrooms including the superb master bedroom with box-bay window overlooking the garden and extensive fitted wardrobes to one wall. The en suite is an excellent size and has bath, separate shower, twin wash basins and WC. The two other bedrooms on this floor both have fitted wardrobes and are served by a smart house bathroom with shower over bath, WC, bidet and wash basin.

The fourth bedroom suite occupies the whole of the second floor and has a large double bedroom area with small kitchenette off (ideal for lodgers) as well as an en suite shower room. There is easily accessible eaves storage wrapping around the entire second floor area.

Outside

To the front of the house is a driveway providing parking for three cars and leading up to the single integral garage. To the rear is a most exquisite south-west facing garden with timber decking and patio immediately to the rear of the house, beautifully manicured lawn flanked by colourful and well-stocked mature borders. To the far end of the garden is a well organized compost area, two sheds (each with power), a greenhouse (also with power) and vegetable patch. There are two further external power points and lighting throughout the garden. Beyond the garden are the playing fields for King Edwards School, meaning that the outlook to the rear is far reaching and unobscured.
