4 bedroom detached house for sale

Offered for sale for the first time in 27 years, this property has been a wonderful family home for the current owners, who are now seeking a change of scenery and lifestyle on the south coast. The property has been adapted in the past to accommodate a family member living on the ground floor and as such offers extremely flexible living space. The accommodation therefore comprises, according to buyer's choice, 3 or 4 bedrooms, plus a lounge, dining room, kitchen/breakfast room, study/nursery room, a utility room and double garage, all set in mature gardens which surround the house.


The property entrance is approached via a gravelled driveway illuminated at night with both standard and security lighting. The entrance door leads into an enclosed porch and a glazed door opens in to the entrance hallway that in turn has the stairs leading to the first floor, doors leading to the garage, a cloakroom with sink and WC, and a door to the Lounge. There is also a handy understairs cupboard for coats, shoes and vacuum cleaner.

The Lounge is an impressively proportioned room which has a Swedish log-burning fire with marble hearth, and an airy dual aspect including patio doors opening on to the garden. Optionally-open double doors lead from the Lounge in to the Dining Room (with views on to the garden) containing some built-in cupboards with a serving hatchway, and door to the Kitchen/Breakfast room.

The kitchen is fitted with Oak fronted units, tiled work surfaces, a ceramic hob with ovens below and with space for a fridge/freezer and plumbed-in dishwasher. There is ample space for a breakfast table and chairs. A stable door gives access to a covered outside seating area and the rear garden.


Also on the ground floor, is a spacious self-contained room that offers considerable flexibility. Having an en suite shower room and fitted wardrobes/cupboards, and patio doors to the rear garden, this room has been used as a self-contained bedroom/sitting room annexe, but can just as easily be a generously sized study, a family room or playroom for children.


From the entrance hall the staircase accesses the first floor landing and Bedrooms 1-3 and the family bathroom. The master bedroom leads off a study/nursery room from the landing, the bedroom being a lovely size and including fitted bedroom furniture. The adjoining en suite is fitted with a corner Jacuzzi bath, shower cubicle, WC and vanity unit with wash basin. The walls are fully tiled and there is a window facing the rear.


Bedroom Two is a double bedroom that faces the front of the property and has eaves storage space on either side. Bedroom Three is another double bedroom, also well-proportioned, this time facing the rear. The bathroom has a bath with shower attachment and hand basin, plus a full-height linen cupboard.


From the garage and also the patio there is access to the Utility room containing a butlers sink, wooden worktops and base cupboards with the recently replaced gas boiler mounted on the wall. There is separate plumbing and electricity provision for both a washing machine and tumble dryer. This room has recently been refitted and modernised. The internal door leads to the Double width garage that houses the electricity fuse board. The heating and hot water pipework and the electricity tripping system have all been replaced recently to latest safety standards. The garage has multiple power points, strip lighting and an electric up and over double door. The property also has a new, multi-room, movement sensor alarm system.


OUTSIDE

The property nestles in the corner of High Meadow and sits with lawns, gardens and outside lighting on all sides of the property. There are several little cosy corners to sit in and two large patios, one on each side of the property. The front patio area, outside the lounge, is a lovely sun trap with raised flowering beds to one side and a tall conifer hedge for screening on the other. There is also a larger, equally sunny patio area to the rear of the house, which lends itself perfectly to barbecues and outside entertaining during summer.


Outside the Kitchen a covered area is ideal for sitting out in the summer to enjoy breakfast and in this part of the garden there is a greenhouse with power and lighting, and a timber-built garden equipment shed with windows. The main lawn, and the other lawns, are all bordered by mature shrubs and flowering beds and the whole property is securely surrounded with fencing and hedgerow.
