DESCRIPTION

Built some 20 years ago by Charles Church, as one of a small and select enclave of executive style houses approached over a private road within Lanhydrock Golf Course. The initial approach through the golf course grounds immediately makes this setting special. The private road winds through the golf course to Oak Ford.

This property enjoys one of the larger plots with beautifully landscaped and well stocked gardens surrounding it on two sides with attractive natural stone walled boundaries and delightful views to the side and rear over mature woodland and the 11th tee/fairway. 3 Ref: LCAA8104 The initial approach from the close is via impressive gate piers with twin vehicular gates accessing a brick pavioured driveway which provides off-road parking for numerous vehicles and access to the detached double garage.

The accommodation has been beautifully refurbished by the current owner and now comprises an entrance porch with double glazed door into a large entrance hall/dining room. The clever removal of the wall between the original entrance hall and the dining room now allows light to flood through the reception area and the beautiful views across the back gardens to the golf course can be enjoyed as soon as one enters the house. This gives a tremendous feeling of space to the entrance hall now making it a fine introduction to this lovely home.

From the entrance hall there are doors off to a large cloakroom, a beautiful sitting room with coal effect gas fire set in an attractive Minster style fireplace and twin doors open onto a large conservatory overlooking the back garden and the golf course. There is a well appointed kitchen/breakfast room with an excellent range of kitchen cabinets, quality composite worktop surfaces (we understand from our client these are Corian) and an excellent range of integrated appliances including an electric Aga with four ovens and a ceramic hob and filter hood above. There is a delightful breakfast area, open-plan to the kitchen and the ground floor is completed by a utility room at the back of the kitchen.

Our client has fitted an extremely discreet electric lift between the ground and first floors which on the ground floor can be accessed from the cloakroom and ascends to the master bedroom suite.

From the entrance hall an attractive white open tread staircase with glass dividers splits to both left and right and rises to a gallery above the entrance hall. To the left is the master bedroom suite which comprises a double bedroom, en-suite dressing room with a wall to 4 Ref: LCAA8104 wall range of fitted wardrobes, dressing table and drawers and an en-suite bathroom with both bath and shower. To the right, the stair accesses a guest bedroom with en-suite shower room, two further bedrooms and a family bathroom. Our client has linked the master bedroom with bedroom 4 to provide a further dressing area, nursery or gym. If an independent fourth bedroom were required, then this door could easily be removed.

A fine beautifully located and well designed family home that has been further enhanced by recent improvements, enjoying a much sought after and enviable setting amidst a beautifully stocked landscaped, low maintenance garden, in a golfers haven.
