Description

Belgrave Park is such a peaceful and attractive place to live. The houses are all detached with lots of space around them and the properties have beautifully landscaped gardens so the approach through Belgrave Park to Clarendon Close is very visually appealing. There is a real sense of peace and tranquility.

Number 17 is tucked peacefully away at the end of a long drive and is not overlooked to the front or rear. The owners are keen gardeners and the approach to the house is a riot of colour with mature shrubs and borders. The property is impeccably presented with a very practical layout and a wonderful feature is the fantastic light that floods through the house. The stunning gardens frame the house beautifully.

The front door sits under a covered porch which opens into a very light reception hallway. To the left of the hallway is a spacious sitting room with bay window, attractive living flame gas fire and sound surround audio system. The owners have commented that since installing the audio system they have rarely visited the cinema as the sound quality is so good.

The two bedrooms are to the right of the hallway separated with an arched entrance. Both bedrooms have built-in wardrobes. The Principal Bedroom looks towards the front of the house. Bedroom 2 overlooks the rear garden and this room has sliding doors opening out to the patio. This is a really wonderful place to wake up and take advantage of the lovely views. The family bathroom sits between the two bedrooms. The bathroom has a spectacular combipool whirlpool 12 jet spa bath with steam shower and a rain shower. There is a further shower room to the other end of the house with wc and feature shell wash basin.

The kitchen and dining room are combined and this is a really sociable space with sliding doors opening out to the patio from the dining area and a spectacular view of the garden. The bespoke antique pine handmade kitchen is well equipped with a full range of wall and base units, storage drawers, integrated appliances including dishwasher, hob, extractor fan, fridge, freezer and space for a wine cooler. The kitchen has very much been designed to ensure that the chef can be part of the gathering when entertaining guests for lunch and supper. Leading off the kitchen is a cleverly adapted space currently used as a utility area with plumbing for a washing machine and dryer but this is a flexible space and the current owners also use this as a childrens play area. To the left of this area is bedroom 3/study. This room was adapted in 2012 (Planning Reference 0012/02176/BN) and this room has underfloor heating.

A pretty conservatory completes the accommodation. This is a really lovely area to take advantage of the stunning garden year round and is a very useful additional seating area.
The south facing garden is a triumph and the owners have worked hard to create a garden that has perfume, colour and joie de vivre with individual themed areas designed for sun or shade choices. The garden is very romantic and charming and has matured naturally over the years and actually is easy to maintain with year round colour and contrast. There are numerous seating areas so the sun can be followed all day and long into the evening. There is a decked patio which is perfect for entertaining.

The owner has this year added solar panels and is on a feed in tariff which so far is showing approximately £600 in electricity bill reduction.

The spacious driveway has parking for a number of cars and there is a useful storage area to the front portion of the former garage.
