Description

Halcyon offers over 3,000 sq ft of beautifully presented internal accommodation, finished to a high standard. The home benefits from underfloor heating, hardwood internal doors, and high-quality bathroom fittings throughout.

Entry is via an extra-wide front door that opens into a spacious, double-height entrance hall. The hall features large ceramic tiles that continue through to the open-plan kitchen/dining/family room. Overlooking the front are two reception rooms, currently used as a study and a playroom. The sitting room, accessed via double doors from both the music room and the kitchen, enjoys a large picture window with views over the rear garden. Nestled between the sitting room and the study is the music room, which could be incorporated into the sitting room to create a larger space. In addition to access from the sitting room, double doors lead from the music room back to the entrance hall.

The magnificent kitchen is elegantly designed, featuring a large curved peninsula unit with a Corian worktop, double sink with Quooker hot water tap, and numerous built-in cupboards and drawers. A wall of full-height cabinetry houses various Neff appliances, including a larder fridge and freezer, oven, steam oven, warming drawer, dishwasher and induction hob with overhead extractor canopy. This spacious room accommodates both dining and family areas, making it ideal for entertaining. Full-width bifold doors flood the space with natural light and open onto a generous patio, perfect for al fresco dining in the south-westerly facing garden.

Off the entrance hall, there is a cloakroom, a generous utility room, a separate boot room, a ground-floor shower room and a side door for external access.

Stairs rise to a beautiful galleried landing with a curved balustrade. The principal bedroom features a vaulted ceiling and a picture window overlooking the rear garden and woodland beyond. A dressing area with wardrobes and a built-in dressing table leads to a luxurious en suite, complete with walk-in shower, freestanding bath and twin vanity unit with washbasins. Bedroom two also overlooks the rear garden and benefits from an en suite shower room. Completing the accommodation are three further double bedrooms and a family bathroom. The current owners have had plans drawn up to convert the extensive loft space, subject to planning. Please contact the office for further details.

Outside, the gravel driveway provides ample parking and includes an EV charging point and external power sockets. There is gated access to the rear garden from both sides of the property. N.B. Planning permission has been granted for a garage to be built in the front right-hand corner of the plot, reference P13/S1489/HH. This area is currently fenced off and used for storage.

The rear garden was professionally landscaped three years ago. At the back of the house, there is a split-level hardwood deck and a porcelain-tiled patio, complemented by pleached specimen trees and elegant planting. Natural hedging borders the lawn, which leads to a central seating and play area. Beyond this is a gently sloping lawn with a variety of trees, including fruit and mature specimens, as well as a garden shed and composting area.

The gardens are private and secluded, thoughtfully landscaped with paved and decked areas, and enhanced by attractive planting and pleached trees. A central lawn leads to additional landscaped zones ideal for relaxing, dining, and children's play.
