5 Bedroom Detached House

A rare opportunity to purchase a five bedroom detached family home in a sought-after position with a large plot and being sold with no onward chain. Situated in an elevated spot, there are distant views over surrounding rooftops and the Downs beyond. The layout can be seen in the floorplan and of particular note is the reception space, most notibly a large, double-aspect sitting room with an open fire and sliding doors that lead to a large patio area. The kitchen/breakfast room and dining also have a lovely south-facing apsect over the rear garden. From the hall, stairs rise to a first floor landing off which is the principal bedroom, a shower room, four further bedrooms and a family bathroom. Outside, the main garden is situated to the rear and being on the south side, is an ideal spot to entertain and relax during the summer months. Mainly laid to lawn, the garden is enclosed by hedging and in all, the house lies in a plot of approximately 0.39 of an acre. To the front, the house is approached by a large drive providing parking for several cars, to the left of which is an area of lawn and there is a single garage. Whilst the house has been loved over the years, it offers a tremendous amount of scope (subject to planning) to adapt, modernise and convert into a family house of the 21st Century.
