Description

A fabulously-appointed modern detached home within landscaped gardens of circa 0.33 of an acre, positioned in a leafy Conservation Area setting and approached along a private lane, off Westwood Park Road, to generous driveway and integral garage parking.


One of five houses constructed in 2012, this is the first to be offered for sale by any of the original buyers, which underlines how desirable the properties and their setting is.


With a fabulous flow to its accommodation and wonderful finishes, this house offers generous proportions. Many of the rooms are dual-aspect and the layout is marvellous for entertaining. For young families, the connectivity to the secure gardens is second to none.


The abiding feel is one of space and natural light, with attractive views over the gardens. Couple this with ground floor, underfloor heating, 6.5kwh PV solar panels, with 13 kw storage batteries and solar hot water system, and an A - EPC rating, this house remains an efficient and fabulously appointed modern home.


Accommodation The front door opens into a spacious entrance hallway, ideal for meeting and greeting guests, with underfloor heated ceramic tiles which continue through much of the ground floor. The hall offers access to the two reception rooms, a perfect home office, a cloakroom/W.C. and, through double doors, the family dining kitchen.


The triple-aspect sitting room is particularly spacious. It has French doors within a large bay that open to the garden, along with a visually impressive wide inglenook, with wood burning stove. The living room is a generous second dual-aspect reception room, with views of the driveway and the kitchen garden.


The fabulously appointed, triple-aspect family dining kitchen is fitted with a contemporary suite with fridge, freezer, wine fridge and dishwasher appliances, together with water softener and Brittania dual-fuel range cooker. A central island provides informal seating, whilst the dining area has French doors to the garden terrace, offering an ideal spot for alfresco dining. There is also a separate utility, with plumbing for white goods and an external door, along with a large pantry.


At first floor, the wide galleried landing provides access to four double bedrooms (two en suite) and a full-suite family bathroom. The dual-aspect principal suite spans the width of the house, with walk-in wardrobe and luxurious full-suite en-suite bathroom with separate corner shower cubicle. Bedroom two is also dual-aspect, with a bank of fitted wardrobes and an en-suite shower room. Double bedrooms three and four are served by the modern, full-suite family bathroom with four-piece suite, including bath and separate shower cubicle.


Gardens: The driveway offers generous parking for several vehicles, coupled with access to the remotely controlled double garage, whilst the formal gardens wrap around the house and extend to about 0.33 of an acre in total. The front east facing garden, with a southerly aspect, is laid to lawn, with laid paths and terraces leading through the gardens and the wooded eastern fringe, with wrought iron estate fencing to the lane, with trellised planting intertwined, and a pergola adorned with climbing roses. Wrapping around the house, a side terrace links to rose and kitchen gardens, with fruit trees and an enclosed rear courtyard, to the rear of the garage. The gardens include mixed species trees, including a mature pine, a fir and sycamore, some of which are subject to TPO's.
