Grove Road, Old Moulsham

One of the most notable, prestigious and classically elegant Victorian homes within the highly sought after Old Moulsham area, having been tended by the same family for approaching four decades. Occupying a proud and prominent position at the junction of two roads, the home offers the highest level of accommodation combined with the advantage of gated off-street parking, detached garaging and a beautiful one-bedroom annexe together with a magical walled garden and in-ground heated swimming pool. Arranged over three floors, the home boasts a seamless amalgamation of elegant, symmetrical Victorian and 21st century architecture which, after a programme of extensive renovations in 2021 now culminates in a stunning kitchen/dining/family room and pantry/utility with vaulted ceiling and doors onto the garden. High ceilings, picture rails, original fireplaces, carved spindle staircase, hardwood sash windows with sliding shutters, together with a bespoke built library/music room, combine perfectly with underfloor heating, marble tiling and a polished concrete adorned and tanked basement with recessed ambient lighting.

A railing adorned wall opens into a traditional paved front garden and central entrance door, which in turn opens into the wonderful Victorian tiled hallway with doors radiating to all ground floor receptions and enticing through view to the kitchen/family room. Two well-proportioned reception rooms overlook the front elevation and lie either side of the hallway, both having fireplaces, one being open and the other with a log burning stove. A fitted closet provides excellent family storage along with the convenient ground floor shower room. A glazed clad staircase leads to the basement.

The lounge has French doors onto the garden and is a beautiful retreat, bedecked with bespoke library cabinetry and a further set of french doors onto the garden. The ground floor is completed by a magnificent kitchen/family room bathed in light from several roof lights and floor to ceiling anthracite aluminium bi-folding doors. A superb marble tiled floor complements the extensive range of bespoke built kitchen cabinetry. Laminam ceramic worksurfaces and upstands combine with Fisher & Paykel integrated refrigerator and dishwasher, Teppanyaki grill and Bertazzoni range oven. The pantry/laundry room provides further storage. The attention to detail in the home coupled with its individuality is exquisite. The basement has been equally thoughtfully designed as the ideal home office/retreat with deep polished concrete walls and floor, combined with an inbuilt desk. To the first floor the style and quality of the home continues offering four good size bedrooms, the primary suite overlooks both the front and side elevations and has a range of fitted closets, a charming window seat from which one can admire the gardens, together with a walk-in fitted dressing room and adjacent, marble tiled four-piece suite shower room. The three further bedrooms have storage opportunities and are served by the family bathroom with Burlington high level wc, stunning marble block wash hand basin stand, freestanding bath accessorised with burnished sanitary ware and waterfall tap.

To the exterior the gardens are wonderfully complementary to the home, walled and being both unoverlooked and restorative with a superb tiled & heated inground swimming pool, ample seating for dining and entertaining with porcelain tiles and an adjoining garden with lawn, raised beds and gated access to both the front garden and further gate to the driveway and garaging. Across the courtyard is the one-bedroom annexe, having been designed and fitted with the same quality as the main house and offering unparalleled versatility. A stable door opens into the kitchen/breakfast room fitted with a beautiful bespoke designed kitchen including ample storage, range of fitted appliances including a gas hob, dishwasher etc. To the first floor is a stunning vaulted suite, bathed in light and enjoying both a seating area and closet space as well as a large en-suite shower room with marble tiling. A truly wonderful home offering a plethora of opportunities in an equally much requested and convenient location which warrants a viewing to appreciate the home in its entirety.
