Handsome Edwardian family home of excellent proportions, situated in the prestigious Dormans Park.
Description
The property is a most impressive Edwardian detached family home, offering light and superbly-proportioned accommodation arranged over three floors, ideal for both formal entertaining and family living. A wealth of period features include high ceilings, deep skirtings, ornate cornicing, beautiful fireplaces, multi-paned windows, some period-style radiators and stone flooring, are combined with modern finishes in keeping with the character of the property, including a delightful traditional style kitchen, modern bathroom suites and solid wood flooring. Also of note are the charming, established gardens, detached garaging and spacious cellar.
A charming reception hall with tiled flooring and wood panelling, features a fireplace and attractive staircase leading to the upper floors.
Principal reception rooms comprise an impressive triple aspect drawing room with attractive fireplace, square bay window and double doors leading to the study/garden room with attractive tiled flooring, full height windows to three sides and a door providing access to the terrace, together with a well-proportioned dining room with an ornate fireplace. Both reception rooms are superb for formal entertaining.
A double aspect family room has an attractive brick fireplace and double doors leading out to the gardens.
The bright and spacious kitchen/ breakfast room benefits from a roof lantern and is fitted with a comprehensive range of traditional wall and base units with central island, an Aga, integral appliances and space for an American-style fridge/freezer. The breakfast area is a lovely space for informal dining and has useful built-in storage to complement the kitchen and all with stone flooring throughout.
An adjoining boot room with a door providing side access to the property, an inner hall leading to the family room and a cloakroom with utility area, complete the ground floor.
Stairs rise from the reception hall to the first floor and principal bedroom suite, with built-in wardrobes and a stylish en suite bathroom with a freestanding roll top bath, which is also accessible from the landing. Of particular note is the south-facing balcony overlooking the gardens.
There are two further bedrooms, one with a generous window seat with storage providing a view to the rear, the other with built in storage, and both with en suite bath/shower rooms.
Arranged over the second floor are two further bedrooms, one with useful built-in and eaves storage areas, and a shower room.
A substantial cellar and boiler room complete the accommodation.
The property is approached over a gravel driveway, situated behind wooden entrance gates which lead to the house and garaging, providing ample off road parking.
The delightful landscaped gardens are predominantly laid to lawn connected by stone steps. There is an attractive stone water fountain and a terrace with an octagonal wooden arbour over, perfect for al fresco entertaining. The gardens are interspersed with well-stocked flower beds and a variety of deciduous and evergreen shrubs, trees and hedging, providing year round interest and privacy. To the perimeter there is mature hedging and a post and rail fence to the rear boundary with views to countryside beyond.
