Description
Upper Croft is a well presented, substantial Edwardian house measuring over 3,000 Sq Ft. The house has been subject to significant reorganisation and modernisation while retaining a number of period features throughout.
It now offers flexible and spacious accommodation over two floors, arranged as follows;
Entrance hallway - An inpressive hallway with herringbone parque flooring and an elegant turned staircase with balustrade leading to the first floor.
Off the hallway there is a delightful drawing room, which has a dual aspect and a square bay window. There is a fireplace with inset woodburner, oak wooden floors and exposed ceiling timber beams. A further door leads into a small inner hallway, which gives access to the kitchen/dining room, a statement cloakroom with and a sitting/family room, which is carpeted.
The kitchen/dining room is of particular note with exposed wooden ceiling beams and oak wooden floors. The room is split into three areas and benefits from stunning far-reaching rural views over the terrace and garden. The kitchen area comprises a large L-shaped island with Quartz work surfaces and a breakfast bar. The island unit has a number of low level storage cupboards and drawers as well as a low level inset Beko oven. There is a run of drawers to one side of the room underneath Quartz work surfaces with inset butlers sink and integrated dishwasher. There is a
large picture window overlooking the garden and countryside beyond with a glazed display and store cupboard to one side. On the other side of the island is a further run of store cupboards beneath a Quartz work surface. There is a CuisineMaster range cooker with three ovens and five gas ring hobs and BBQ element. The dining area has floor-to-ceiling glazed windows with double doors that open out onto the rear paved terrace. There is a fabulous bar area making this room ideal for entertaining.
A door leads through to a rear entrance hall with access to the parking area and driveway, also off the hall is the utility room with window overlooking the garden, space and plumbing for a washing machine, low level store cupboards and large floor-to-ceiling store cupboards. A door leads into a large double garage, which could be converted subject to the necessary permissions.
The staircase from the entrance hallway culminates on a large first floor landing, which has a sitting area and windows overlooking the driveway and garden. Doors off the landing lead to four double bedrooms and a family bathroom with bath with shower over, WC and pedestal basin.
The main bedroom suite has fitted wardrobes and an ensuite bathroom with shower cubicle, bath, WC and pedestal wash basin and benefits from astonishing far reaching countryside views.
Outside
The house is approached over its own driveway, which culminates in a parking area to the rear of the house, with access to the double garage. Outbuildings comprise four stables, currently used as storage, which have the potential to convert, subject to the usual necessary permissions. The main part of the gardens are to the rear of the house and these have been subject to major landscaping and planting. The gardens
are now interspersed with mature flower beds, shrubberies, and areas of level lawn with seating and dining areas.
A lower level garden area is enclosed by mature trees and can be accessed from the driveway, as well as steps from the upper level. It is believed that there is potential to build ancillary accommodation, subject to the necessary permissions. A major part of the works carried out in the gardens was the extension of the rear terrace, which provides a fabulous area for al fresco entertaining and benefits from stunning far
reaching rural views over the garden.
