Description

Arriving down the private lane, the substantial frontage of Heathcliffe House is striking, with a modern portico, ample parking for countless vehicles and a detached double garage.

The double front doors open onto the generous hallway with guest wc, featuring a sweeping staircase taking you to a galleried landing overlooking the hall.

The living room at the far end is dual aspect with bay windows to the front and rear, feature fireplace and French doors opening onto the terrace. There is a study next door, overlooking the front.

The dining room, also accessed from the hall is large with French doors opening onto the same terrace.

The impressive kitchen is comprehensively fitted with integrated appliances, an island with storage and granite worktops. There are three ovens, a microwave, dishwasher and space for an American fridge/freezer. It is open to the breakfast area and family area, with a wonderful in/out feel due to a wall of glazing and French doors leading onto the side terrace from both the kitchen and family area. There is a well thought out utility room off an inner lobby and door out to the side.

A further study facing the garden then leads to a versatile reception room with doors leading out to the garden. This then leads onto the leisure suite where you will find a substantial games room with doors to both sides and stairs to a gymnasium and bedroom with en suite bathroom; ideal for guests or multi-generational living.

Through the Games Room, double doors open onto the swimming pool complex with large sliding doors providing an amazing “in/out” feel. The pool is heated and tiled with an electric cover. There is a shower room, sauna, wc and kitchen along with the plant room for the pool.

To the first floor in the main house, the galleried landing overlooks the hall. The principal bedroom is triple aspect and boasts a walk-in dressing room leading to a high specification en suite bathroom. There is a substantial balcony off the bedroom with views over the manicured gardens.

There are four further bedrooms with en suite bathrooms, and a 5th bedroom that can gain access to one of the four bathrooms which can be accessed from the landing.

An upstairs laundry room with space and plumbing for a washing machine and tumble dryer and a sink and drainer completes the upstairs accommodation.

Outside, you are spoilt for choice for places to sit. There are terraces and court yards to the north and south sides of the house, intricately landscaped and manicured with a plethora of planting, including a vegetable garden and fruit trees, providing a true escape to the countryside. These terraces are ideal for al fresco dining and entertaining.

The grounds have been painstakingly landscaped by a Chelsea winning gold medallist designer to provide a mature setting with a fantastic space to walk and enjoy nature.
