Description

A charming extended family home in an idyllic setting with mature and landscaped gardens of about 0.75 acres and triple garaging



Description

Although being about 120 years old, longevity of ownership has ensured that there have been very few owners of Greenwhins. As its name implies, the property is surrounded by a lush and leafy aspect. Utterly charming, this detached whitewashed cottage is full of character and the current owners have extensively upgraded and extended the property to provide the wonderful family home of today. A theme throughout is the use of oak finish doors, door frames, skirting boards and a striking split level oak staircase. Flooring is a combination of high quality hard flooring, porcelain stoneware and carpets. The hallway and drawing room ceilings features beam and truss fittings.Of particular note are the splendid stained glass windows. Luxury bath and shower rooms are fitted by Planet Bathroom.

A corner vestibule with twin windows opens into the hallway which is the link to superb entertaining and circulation space. The three well-appointed receptions rooms of the sitting room, dining room and drawing room can be as formal or informal as you wish. Delightful is the reception hall connecting the spaciously elegant drawing room and formal dining room with a lovely window seat overlooking the front courtyard.
The contemporary kitchen is by Kitchens International with white gloss base and wall cabinets. An island is finished with a fossilised granite work top along with further work surfaces. Integrated appliances include side-by-side larder style refrigerators, combination microwave/oven, coffee machine, dishwasher, under-unit freezer and range cooker with six ring gas hob and extractor hood above. An open archway leads into the informal everyday dining room which looks out onto one of the patios. The garden room with its vaulted ceiling and stained glass window is flooded with natural light and takes full advantage of garden views, bringing the outdoors in. Within the side hallway is the domestic side of the house with a hallway with exterior door, cloakroom with WC and wash basin, walk in pantry store and laundry room fitted with an extensive range of handmade timber cherrywood cabinets along with plumbing for a washing machine and venting for a tumble dryer. A spacious ground floor bathroom has a three piece white suite and curved shower enclosure with Mira shower. Double doors from the garden room open into the study which is a versatile room. Bedroom two is used as a guest suite within a more private area of the house and has a wonderful picture window overlooking the garden. Fitted wardrobes are along one wall with a central dressing table. The en suite is spacious with a large corner bath, separate shower enclosure, WC and twin wash basins within vanity furniture. The ground floor is completed by a home office with a lovely aspect to the front courtyard. Ascending from the stylish oak split level staircase is the walk in linen cupboard with Velux window. Bedroom three has deep built in wardrobes fronted with mirrored doors and the en suite shower room has a mixer chrome shower. The fabulous principal bedroom suite occupies the front elevation of the house with wonderful views. Particularly generous is the principal bedroom and dressing room. A real luxury space is the very stylish and spacious en suite bathroom, with its deep double end bath with TV screen, over sized shower enclosure with rainfall and wall mounted shower fittings, twin wash basins and bidet. Bedrooms four and five are currently used as dressing rooms, but could easily revert to their original use.

The front courtyard extending to around 230 sq m is flanked by entrance pillars and a whitewashed wall and extensively covered with Italian inspired scalloped granite sets allowing parking and turning for numerous vehicles. The front entrance sets the tone for the absolutely stunning landscaped and mature side and rear gardens. This sheltered and secluded area is the ultimate alfresco entertaining area with the patio/terrace extending to around 350 sq m. Our clients worked closely with the acclaimed Kirsty McLean Garden Design Company to see their vision come to fruition. The grounds have been cultivated into eight sections including sweeping and raised flowerbeds with the focal point being a centre circle along with extensive patios and terraces finished in sandstone flagstones. This area has aucuba, choisya, phormimum, euphorbia and euonymous. A pergola walkway leading to a greenhouse includes picea, hebe, mixed heathers, acers, lonicera and clematis. The herbaceous borders brim with lupins, digitalis, aquilea and monarda to name a few. At the rear of the greenhouse which is particularly sheltered are prunus, early flowering rhododendrons and azaleas. Sprinkled throughout are over 30 species of Alpines. A tranquil spot is beside the pond with water lilies. Camouflaged boundaries comprise a mixture of traditional stone walls, mature hedging and post and wire fencing.
There are three garages. One is attached to the side of the property and is of stone and blockwork construction. The two other garages are detached and to the side and are also built of stone and blockwork. All of the garages have electrically operated doors, power, light and water taps.
