Description

20 St Georges Close is a unique 1960's detached house which enjoys a most peaceful setting in a quiet and exclusive cul de sac. Around 10 years ago the present owners undertook a full "back to brick" refurbishment of the property, including comprehensive remodelling to create a modern, contemporary residence. The refurbishment included full rewiring, plumbing/central heating, replastering, new windows/doors, Cat 5 cabling, and high specification kitchen and bathrooms.

The semi-open plan living space combines with a cleverly thought-out configuration to provide flexible accommodation set out over two storeys. The ground floor space has a dedicated guest bedroom suite, and the second reception room has an en suite shower room meaning that it too could be used as additional bedroom accommodation if needed. Overall, the property extends to approximately 2,633 sq ft (including garaging) and is therefore large enough for a family, or ideal for some larger down-sizers.

The house is approached via a path from the driveway leading through a manicured fore-garden and to the solid wood front door which opens into the hallway. A contemporary oak and glass open-tread staircase sets the modern tone of the house, and the hallway leads through into the principal living space of the house; a large open-plan kitchen/diner with a living room off. Under floor heating runs through the hall and into the kitchen and living room and the space is adorned with natural light via plentiful large windows and bifolding doors

The kitchen is fitted with high-quality German units which are sleek and modern with white gloss handless door and drawer fronts and white Quartz worktops. A large central island unit provides additional storage as well as a sociable breakfast bar. Integrated appliances are all Siemens and include full height fridge, under counter freezer, dishwasher, twin electric ovens with warming drawers, steam oven, microwave, and a five ring gas hob with extractor over.

Adjacent to the kitchen is the large dining area which has bi-folding doors opening out to the garden. Situated off the dining area is a lovely living room having a part-vaulted ceiling which gives the room added character. There is a further set of bi-folding doors to the garden and there is a modern log burner for added comfort in the colder months.

The second reception room is situated to the other end of the hallway and is hexagonal in shape making it a most interesting living space. There is a large full height angled window to the front garden, and there is a feature ceiling with decorative hexagonal design matching the contours of the room. The room has its own en suite shower room for added flexibility, allowing it to be used as a bedroom if desired. A further door off the room leads into a good-sized utility room which has extensive fitted units as well as a stainless steel sink and integrated washing machine and tumble dryer. A door at the end of the utility room leads into the attached garage.

Completing the ground floor accommodation is a well-appointed guest bedroom suite which is a good sized double room with double doors opening out to an enclosed courtyard area, and further natural light provided by a large rooflight. The stylish en suite is fully tiled and has a walk-in shower, wall-hung WC, and wall-hung wash basin with drawer unit beneath.

On the first floor is a lovely bright and spacious landing with a full height window and a second large window above the stairs, both overlooking the front of the property. There are two bedroom suites on this floor, one with extensive fitted wardrobes to one wall. Both bedrooms have smart en suites, one with a large walk-in shower, the other having a bath with shower over.

Outside

To the front of the property is a substantial block-paved driveway providing parking for several cars and leading up to the attached double garage with electric up and over door. There is a beautifully manicured fore-garden with lawn and planted borders.

The main garden is fully walled and includes a very large blue brick terrace and a separate paved patio area. There is a central lawn which is flanked by well-stocked and well-maintained borders including mature shrubs and trees. We have measured the total plot to be in the order of 0.24 acre.
