It sits within a beautiful 3.91 acre plot with landscaped gardens, sweeping driveway, garage block, all weather tennis court and mature grounds beyond running down to Rushfield Dike.

The main front and side elevations are finished in beautiful ashlar stonework with a Venetian style pillared entrance and hipped stone slate roof. It is largely 2 storeys in height with a 3 storey section at the rear with its own entrance at the rear offering the potential for conversion to an annex.

We understand that the property underwent a comprehensive scheme of modernisation in the early 2010’s which included renovation of the interiors, landscaping the grounds and the construction of garage block. Our clients purchased the property in 2015 and have carried out further works to complete those that were commenced by the previous owners including further refurbishment of the kitchen, completion of the garage block, installation the resin bonded driveway and a new playing surface for the tennis court. The sash windows have also been refurbished to included double glazed units in accordance with listed building consent.

The main entrance to the property is a grand affair, being accessed by the pillared portico with a period wooden entrance door with leaded glazing opening into the main hall. This features a wonderful staircase to the first floor with wooden handrail and wrought iron balustrading.

Also on this floor there is a side entrance into the courtyard and downstairs wc / laundry room.

There are substantial cellars beneath the property with vaulted ceilings to all but one of the 4 rooms. The two largest cellars are currently used as a games room and gym but offer further potential for full conversion If required.

Stairs from the hall lead to the first floor landing which is partially galleried with the wrought iron balustrading overlooking the hallway. A tall leaded glazed arched window stands above the half landing area – note that this is the only single glazed window in the property.

It has a generous en-suite which again features good quality fitted furniture and a shower enclosure. There are 3 further double bedrooms in this section of the house, one having an en-suite shower room whilst the other 2 are served by the large house bathroom.

The remaining accommodation could be separated off from the rest of the house if required for use as an annex by locking the internal doors although in our clients case it forms part of the main living space. There is another double bedroom with en-suite shower room here and a small but good quality kitchen which also serves as the entrance to this section via an external staircase. Stairs from the landing lead to the second floor section which features a landing area, bathroom and another double bedroom which could alternatively be used as an office space as it is fitted with high quality furniture including cupboards, shelving and a desk.

The heating system for the house is powered by 2 central heating boilers and 2 hot water storage tanks located in the boiler room. There is also a CCTV system and audio / visual entry system at the automated gateway to the property on Arkenley Lane.
