Property description

Set at the head of a long private drive, Heath Grange is an imposing Victorian mansion dating from the 19th century, along with later additions. Surrounded by its own park like grounds, in recent times the house has undergone a period of refurbishment and transformation resulting in a handsome and substantial family home presented with style and aplomb, successfully combining interesting period detailing with twenty first century requirements.
With external elevations of painted brick under a pitched, clay tiled roof, the house has a variety of window styles including original sash and feature picture windows in order to take full advantage of the views across the grounds. Internally reception rooms are gracious with a comfortable mix of formality and informality, combining detailing such as original stained glass panels in the Entrance Hall, cast iron radiators, carved marble and wooden fireplace surrounds and ornate coving with contemporary decoration, bath/shower rooms and a superb circular Wine Cellar.
The rooms are all of excellent proportion and provide sophisticated and elegant accommodation arranged across two floors. Ceilings are of good height, internal doors are panelled – some with original door furniture and mouldings - and window openings large, allowing for maximum natural light penetration. Floors are a mixture of exposed timber boards, carpet and porcelain tiles. The Drawing and Dining Rooms open one to the other creating an elegant formal entertaining space, whereas the Sitting Room, which has a range of fitted cabinets for storage and TV housing, opens to the hand crafted Kitchen/Breakfast Room, which in turn opens to the Conservatory, for casual dining. Sleek, hand painted wall and floor cabinets with black granite and wooden work surfaces incorporate appliances such as a Quooker Hot Water Tap, integrated fridge/freezer and dishwasher along with space for a range cooker. The Utility Room is also fully fitted with a range of cupboards and has a wine cooler together with two integrated freezers. Elsewhere on the ground floor is a Study, with access to the Wine Cellar, a Family Room and a Gym.
Bedrooms are arranged across the first floor with the Principal Suite having fine views across the grounds, a large En-Suite Bathroom and access to the Balcony. There are six further bedrooms, a bathroom and shower room.
