Description
Accommodation
An impressive porch with entrphone system gives access to a large communal hallway shared with three other properties and having a shared, secure storage facility on the first floor suitable for bikes, golf clubs etc. A solid door open into the private entrance hall with wooden floor and stairs to both the first and lower ground floors. The double aspect sitting room is at the front of the property with shuttered windows and a high corniced ceiling. Double doors open into a dining room with another shuttered window and a door leads conveniently though to the well appointed kitchen fitted with a range of wall and base units with granite work surfaces over, double belfast sink (with a view over the grounds from the window in front) and appliances including a Rangemaster dual fuel cooker with gas hob and electric ovens, dishwasher, fridge and extractor hood. Another door leads back to the hallway where you will find a ground floor shower room and a useful built-in cupboard.
On the lower ground floor there is a cloakroom off the hall with three rooms currently used as a music room with door to the grounds and enjoying a double aspect, an office/occasional bedroom with extensive built-in furniture including a cabin bed and a playroom or bedroom also with a door to the grounds. This floor could be configured perhaps as a self contained annexe.
On the first floor landing there are two built-in storage cupboards and three double bedrooms (all with built-in wardrobes) and the master bedroom enjoying a dual aspect with far reaching views and an en suite shower room. There is a family bathroom with corner spa bath and also fitted with space and plumbing for a washing machine as well as an airing cupboard.

Identity Verification
To ensure full compliance with current legal requirements, all buyers are required to verify their identity and risk status in line with anti-money laundering (AML) regulations before we can formally proceed with the sale. This process includes a series of checks covering identity verification, politically exposed person (PEP) screening, and AML risk assessment for each individual named as a purchaser. In addition, for best practice, we are required to obtain proof of funds and where necessary, to carry out checks on the source of funds being used for the purchase. These checks are mandatory and must be completed regardless of whether the purchase is mortgage-funded, cash, or part of a related transaction. A disbursement of £49 per individual (or £75 per director for limited company purchases) is payable to cover all aspects of this compliance process. This fee represents the full cost of conducting the required checks and verifications. You will receive a secure payment link and full instructions directly from our compliance partner, Guild365, who carry out these checks on our behalf.
