About
This stunning and highly adaptable 5-bedroom contemporary home was constructed for the builder’s own occupation in 1955 and occupies a mature, established plot of approximately 0.338 of an acre -facing South/Westerly to the rear.
The current owner has lovingly and creatively refurbished the house to provide stylish, contemporary accommodation with unique mid-century modern tones including large picture windows, a split-level layout and a striking stone fireplace.
On the ground floor, the bright and airy accommodation comprises: Central split level reception hall, generous living/dining room opening to the raised sun deck, quality fitted kitchen with adjoining breakfast/playroom and access to an enchanting decked seating area with vegetable zone beyond, 3 bedrooms, tastefully updated bathroom and an en-suite shower room.
The lower ground floor boasts 2 further generous bedrooms – one of which has a sauna and plunge pool, and both of which provide en-suite facilities.
The lower ground floor area could easily provide ancillary annexe accommodation if required with its own access.
The rear garden (with a depth of approximately 118’ deep x 75’ wide) is well established and slopes away from the paved patio immediately adjacent to the house which offers a very elevated feel from the sun deck – just stunning!
