Description

Salient points include sash windows, engineered wood flooring to ground floor, contemporary kitchen, stylish bath/shower rooms, balcony and delightful park-like gardens.

The principal reception rooms are arranged over two floors and comprise a triple aspect drawing room with a fireplace inset with a wood burning stove and a dining room to the ground floor. To the lower ground floor there is an excellent 44 ft long recreation/play room which leads to a well-proportioned study, offering a versatile space for a number of uses, and both with double doors to the enclosed sunken courtyard with spiral staircase leading up to the garden.

The double aspect kitchen/breakfast room is a superb space, perfect for informal entertaining and family life. The kitchen is fitted with a comprehensive range of stylish wall and base units including a coffee/breakfast nook, a matching island which extends and lowers into a dining table and some integral appliances. Double doors lead out to the side terrace and gardens beyond.

A utility room offers additional storage, space for appliances and has outside access. A cloakroom completes the ground floor accommodation.

Arranged over the first floor is the principal suite, comprising a bedroom with a bank of fitted wardrobes and a well-appointed en-suite bathroom with a freestanding bath and separate shower.

There are four further double bedrooms, three enjoying en-suite shower rooms and two with fitted wardrobes. A modern family bathroom completes the internal accommodation.

Paxton Farm is approached via a sweeping driveway which is flanked on both sides by established hedging and culminates in a generous circular parking area bordered with ornamental box hedging to the front of the property. There is a detached garage to one side of the driveway.

The park-like gardens are a delightful feature, creating a lovely backdrop to the property and amounting to just over 4 acres in total. Paved terraces provide perfect spots for al fresco entertaining, with connecting paved paths which in turn run down one side of the garden. The gardens are mainly laid to lawn interspersed and bordered with a generous variety of deciduous and evergreen trees and shrubs, all creating year round interest and a high degree of privacy.
