General Information

The Property

Superbly situated and with NO UPWARD CHAIN is this substantial family residence set in an elevated position by the Tennis Club off a long driveway accessed from Ashby Road . The property sits within beautiful mature gardens, and internally, the residence has a superb contemporary feel with some very nice Scandinavian-style touches. The gas central heated accommodation has double painted timber doors giving access into the lobby, with a door opening into a good-sized study and hallway, as well as a useful boot cupboard and parquet flooring. From the hallway, stairs rise to the first floor, and a guest cloakroom with w.c. and hand wash basin is set within a vanity unit. From the hallway a door leads through into a large lounge, offering ample space for family gatherings. The parquet flooring continues through, and there are two lovely focal points: the log-burning stove and the three windows, one of which is a deep bay offering views over the stunning grounds. A glazed door from the lounge opens out onto an undercover terrace ideal for entertaining and a further door leads through into the formal dining room.

The spacious dining room offers French doors opening out onto the large rear patio area and a walk-in butler's pantry, ideal for storing crockery and glass ware.

The breakfast kitchen is fitted with a range of modern units with work tops over that extend to create a peninsular breakfast bar area. The worktops also incorporate a one and a quarter sink and gas hob. The modern fitted units include base cupboards, larder cupboards, glazed display cupboards and wall mounted cabinets. Windows look out to the front aspect and a door leads out into the rear hallway. From here there is a rear door out to the drive, a storage cupboard with shelving and a timber door down to the cellar. The cellar is also the power room where the boiler, emersion heater and photovoltaic control panels are sited. There is space and plumbing for a washing machine, further space for white goods and a walk in pantry with shelving.

On the first floor, the landing features a large window out to the front aspect offering views and doors off to all bedrooms. The principal bedroom is a great size with a full-height sloped roof, Velux skylights and windows that look out over the rear garden. The en-suite is equipped with a bath with shower over, w.c and wash hand basin. There is also a Velux skylight. On this floor are two further excellent-sized double bedrooms both offering lovely light accommodation with views over different angles of the gardens. On the first floor is also a fourth occasional bedroom, or reading room, or just a quiet space with French doors that open out onto a balcony with space for a bistro table with chairs and views over the garden. A perfect place to spend early Sunday morning hours with a coffee and enjoying the views over the garden. Finishing off the accommodation on this floor is the family bathroom that is fitted with a modern suite comprised of a bath with shower over, a range of built-in vanity storage cupboards with fitted WC and wash hand basin.

Outside there is space for vehicular parking and a wrought iron gate that leads into the garden. A spectacular site and a true feature of the property, with extensive gardens wrapping round two sides of the property. There is a plethora of mature trees and shrub planting, ample areas for a kitchen garden and two sheds and a greenhouse. There is a large patio for entertaining, sweeping lawns, seating areas, a perfect place for family weekends
