Description

Oakwood is a well-presented, single-storey house, believed to date originally from the 1920s. It has been the subject of recent reconfiguration and improvement, including the addition of wood effect composite cladding and replacement double glazing. It offers well-presented, contemporary accommodation which extends to approximately 2,286 sq ft (including the attached double garage).

The spacious, dual aspect sitting room has a vaulted ceiling, and a large inglenook fireplace with a wood-burning stove, creating a comfortable and stylish space for relaxing or hosting family and friends.

At the other end of the hall is the recently reconfigured open plan kitchen/dining/family room, with a superb contemporary style kitchen, including an island with a breakfast bar and a Calor gas powered five burner hob with a remote control extractor fan, and integrated appliances including a Quooker tap, a double oven/microwave combination, fridge, dishwasher and two ovens; there is a bar area to one side with a drinks fridge and ambient lighting under the countertops. The dining/family area offers plenty of a space for a table and chairs, and for sofas. Bi-fold doors open to the terrace, making this an excellent space for entertaining. Adjoining the kitchen is utility/boot room.

The luxurious principal suite has built-in wardrobes, an additional separate dressing area with wardrobes, space for a dressing table and French doors to a private patio, and a superb en suite with a bath and a walk-in shower. There are three further bedrooms, one of which has French doors to the garden and one which is currently used as a study, and a family shower room with modern fittings.

Subject to obtaining the necessary consents and permissions, the property offers excellent scope to create further accommodation with a first floor, taking advantage of the views over the garden, and our vendor has had plans drawn up that they would be willing to share.
