Description

Ravenscroft is a light and spacious, predominantly single-storey, detached property constructed in 1969/70 which occupies a beautiful, private plot of almost an acre, approached over a 145 ft drive backing onto Galleywood Common.   Planning permission, now lapsed, was granted in 2017 (17/01410/FUL ) to replace the existing house with a larger two-storey, four-bedroom house with a triple garage.

The house has been designed so that the principal bedrooms and reception room overlook the gardens, and with large windows, the property is bathed in natural light. Taking centre stage is a fine entrance hall with windows front and rear and a staircase rising to a galleried landing. There are two en suite bedrooms on the ground floor with a further two bedrooms on the first floor and a family bathroom. Overlooking the rear gardens is a lovely sitting room, open plan to a dining room at the front with views over the front gardens and drive. Attached to the house is a useful workshop, store and a double garage.

The drive is approached off Galleywood road and extends to a parking area in front of the house. There is a large front garden, predominately lawn and edged in trees. There is access either side of the house into the rear gardens. The gardens to the rear are very private, predominately lawn with a scattering of trees. There is a five-bar gate at the bottom boundary into Galleywood Common.

Services
