Cripplegate Lane, Southwater

The front door opens into a welcoming Hall, with stairs rising to the First Floor and doors leading to all principal Ground Floor rooms. The property has a fascinating history, dating back to the late 1800s, and although it has undergone extensive improvement over the years, it retains much of its original character and charm, giving the home a wonderful sense of individuality.

A particular feature of the property is the impressive 29ft Kitchen/Diner, providing an excellent setting for both everyday family life and entertaining, with ample space for a large dining table and a comprehensive range of kitchen furniture. A useful Pantry provides additional storage, whilst the adjoining 19ft Living Room is a generous and comfortable reception space, ideal for relaxing with family and friends.

The accommodation continues with a superb 17ft Family Room, offering considerable flexibility and providing an ideal space for a playroom, snug or second sitting room. A separate Study is perfectly suited to those working from home, whilst the substantial Utility Room provides excellent practical space away from the main living accommodation. A Ground Floor Cloakroom completes this level.

The property is approached via a private gated entrance, opening onto a generous driveway providing ample parking for numerous vehicles. The home occupies a particularly private plot, with the gardens wrapping around the property and creating an excellent sense of space and seclusion. The generous gardens are predominantly laid to lawn and are complemented by established planting, providing an attractive backdrop to the house.

A superb feature of the outside space is the large patio terrace, which extends directly from the Kitchen/Diner through the impressive bi-folding doors, creating a seamless connection between the principal entertaining space and the garden. This provides an exceptional setting for alfresco dining, entertaining and relaxing during the warmer months, with plenty of space for outdoor furniture and seating.

The garden continues around the property, offering a variety of areas to enjoy and excellent potential for families, keen gardeners or those who simply value having substantial private outside space. A detached double garage, measuring approximately 16'2" x 15'10", provides secure parking and useful additional storage, with the extensive driveway offering further parking to the front. The combination of the gated approach, generous parking, detached garage and wrap-around gardens creates a particularly impressive outside setting, complementing the scale and character of this substantial period home.
