DescriptionBuilt in 1908 this impressive detached house has a floor area of just under 8500 sq ft in total and provides a superb family home. It has retained many of its original attractive features, including an elegant wide staircase, high ceilings with cornicing, fireplaces, wooden flooring, and striking stained glass windows including the large staircase window. A unique feature is the first floor ballroom, an elegant room with ornate ceiling, fireplace and two large bay windows. The ballroom was incorporated into the house for the original owner, together with a library occupying the same footprint on the ground floor, which has now been divided into two en suite rooms. The house provides generously proportioned and flexible accommodation arranged predominantly over two floors. The welcoming formal reception hall leads to the principal reception rooms including the conservatory, which overlooks the garden. The drawing room and dining room have fireplaces and large bay windows, and, to the rear, with views of the garden, are the sitting room, study and the family/play room, which forms part of the original library and now provides an en suite room, together with a further en suite room and useful kitchenette to the front in the original garage space. The large kitchen/breakfast room connects to the dining room, and there is also a pantry, utility and second cloakroom. On the first floor, in addition to the ballroom, are seven bedrooms, several of which are en suite, and a family bathroom and separate cloakroom. There are two further bedrooms on the second floor, together with a shower and cloakroom.The gravelled double entrance driveway provides parking for several cars.
