Charming brick and flint house with large, mature gardens in a fantastic location opposite Black Park.

Description

This charming brick and flint, five bedroom family home, built in about 1923, is set within its own grounds and wonderfully located directly opposite Black Park. The gardens wrap around the house and offer excellent seclusion with the addition of a garden guest suite, two garages and an outbuilding.

The front door opens into a spacious porch/boot room and leads into the reception hall. The triple aspect sitting room enjoys a wood burner and lovely window seat giving an ideal spot to relax. Further reception space includes a formal dining room and a family room with corner bi-fold doors opening on to the garden. The kitchen/breakfast room has lovely garden views with corner bi-fold doors leading to the terrace, bringing the outside in. The conservatory/dining area is flooded with light and has plenty of room for a table. The kitchen itself has a comprehensive range of storage units, an island unit and granite worktops alongside a range of integrated appliances. Just off the kitchen is a spacious fully fitted utility room and guest cloakroom.

The bedroom accommodation is arranged on the first floor with the principal bedroom enjoying a dressing area with a range of built-in wardrobes and a well-appointed en suite wet room. The remaining four bedrooms, two with fitted wardrobes, are served by a family bathroom.

The Firs is approached through electric gates on to a driveway with parking for several cars. There are also two single garages with power and light. The generous garden wraps around the house giving lovely garden views from most rooms in the property. Fencing, mature trees and shrubs give privacy and seclusion. The garden is mainly laid to lawn with beds and borders giving year round interest. Of particular note are two Japanese Acers, magnolia and a host of rhododendrons. At the rear of the garden is a potential self-contained annexe, perfect for a nanny/au pair or visiting guests. In addition is a further outbuilding, ideal as a gym but which could have a multitude of uses. Adjoining the house, accessed from the bi-fold doors, is a raised terrace giving ideal outside space for dining and entertaining.
