Description
The house has been extended and the 1920s architecture, reminiscent of the art nouveau style, is complemented by the contrasting contemporary design of a new wing which has provided a stunning kitchen and breakfast room together with a very impressive master bedroom suite. Original details (including hardwood doors, fireplaces, and picture rails) blend with modern features including several oak floors, gas central heating (underfloor and radiators) and a kitchen and bathrooms appointed to exceptional standards.

*
The central ENTRANCE HALL opens to the main living areas and is a light and airy space which is mirrored throughout the house. Off the hall is a CLOAKROOM with marble floor and wall tiling. The DRAWING ROOM is a charming room with a fireplace alcove with a Jetmaster open fire flanked by bookshelves and with a bay window with French doors to the garden. Wide French doors also lead through into the CONSERVATORY GARDEN ROOM which again has a door to the garden. The SITTING ROOM (which could be used as a separate dining room) is a comfortable room with polished floorboards, bookshelves, a wood burning stove and a wide bay window.

**
The new wing has added a quite stunning dual aspect KITCHEN & DINING ROOM with limestone flooring with under floor heating. The room is not only superbly equipped but creates a wonderful living area with bifolding doors which flood the room with light and open to a sunny terrace. The kitchen area is fitted with Leicht units with Silestone quartz work surfaces, plinth and under-cupboard lighting, and a sink unit with a \"hot water\" tap and filtered cold water. Integral Siemens appliances include a fridge, fan oven/microwave & grill, oven/grill, warming drawers and coffee machine. Other appliances include a Miele dishwasher and an AEG electric induction hob. Adjacent to the kitchen is a walk-in LARDER and beyond the inner hall is the UTILITY ROOM which leads into a STUDY with double French doors to a garden terrace. An access to the study could be created from the drawing room if required and subject to consents.

First Floor
On the first floor the new wing has again delivered a wonderful room which has a serene and peaceful atmosphere. This is the MASTER BEDROOM SUITE with lancet style windows in the dual aspect bedroom which flood the room with light and give wonderful views. It has underfloor heating and an ensuite DRESSING ROOM fitted with hanging cupboards and shelves and which leads through into the en suite SHOWER ROOM with travertine tiling and a marble vanity shelf. The GUEST BEDROOM SUITE includes a double bedroom with an en suite SHOWER ROOM with travertine tiling. In addition there are 3 other BEDROOMS and a family BATHROOM again with travertine tiling. It's worth noting there's copious storage space within the boarded out roof space.

*
This is a house with very comfortable accommodation of considerable style and charm and is enhanced by the mature gardens which are towards half an acre but are nonetheless extremely manageable. The first part of the drive is shared with the adjacent house and then the entirely private drive leads to a parking area close to the house. The current owners have landscaped the gardens over the last 20 years with lawns, flower and shrub beds and \"rooms\" created with hedging. Particularly attractive features are the terraces outside the kitchen and the drawing room. There is also a garden shed equipped with electricity.
