Substantially extended and modernised by our clients for their own occupation, Alford House is a detached part-weatherboarded double-fronted family home. It has been sensitively extended to offer 2,548 sq ft of light-filled, flexible accommodation arranged over two floors. Designed to provide a cohesive and practical family and entertaining environment, maximising the stunning views over open countryside, it offers quality fixtures and fittings including contemporary sanitaryware, modern energy-efficient amenities and elegant neutral décor throughout.

The accommodation flows from a welcoming double-height reception hall with tiled flooring, useful storage, a cloakroom and stairs rising to a galleried first floor landing. The triple aspect sitting room has a freestanding corner woodburning stove and French doors giving far reaching views, and opening to the terrace. A front aspect drawing room and neighbouring snug with tiled flooring share access to a double-sided woodburning stove.

Accessible from the snug and reception hall, the ground floor accommodation is completed by an impressive dual aspect kitchen/breakfast room. Added by the vendors, it has underfloor heating and a range of contemporary, high-gloss wall and base units, a large central island with breakfast bar, complementary work surfaces and splashbacks, modern integrated AEG appliances, bi-fold doors to the terrace, with an inter-connecting fitted utility room with garden access.

On the first floor a generous landing gives access to the property’s four bedrooms and a family bathroom. The part-vaulted, dual aspect principal bedroom with extensive fitted storage enjoys far reaching views and an en suite shower room. There are two further rear aspect double bedrooms both with fitted wardrobes and en suite shower rooms. A fourth, part-vaulted double bedroom has Jack and Jill access to the well fitted family bathroom. This is also accessible from the landing and has a bath and separate spacious shower.

The property is approached over a tarmac driveway providing ample, private parking and giving access to a detached two-storey weatherboarded outbuilding. It houses a garage with electric doors and double carport and has external stairs to a vaulted first floor annexe with a kitchen/living room, bedroom and shower room.

Steps and a paved path lead up to the storm porch and front door. The well-maintained wraparound garden is laid mainly to lawn. It features a useful insulted shed with power and light, external hot and cold tap, ideal for dog washing, two log stores and paved side and rear terraces, the latter with an adjacent astroturfed terrace, the whole ideal for entertaining and al fresco dining, enjoying the appealing views over surrounding countryside.
