Description

Oak Lea is an impressive detached country house of over 3,300 sq ft which has undergone considerable upgrading in recent years to create an exceptional home. The standard of presentation is excellent throughout and the dining, living kitchen area is warmed by an AGA. The master bedroom suite is exceptional and most rooms overlook the delightful gardens. A useful detached annex has been created offering the options of a games room, gym or ancillary accommodation. Classic car owners or motorcyclists will really appreciate the large tiled and heated garage.

Accommodation

The canopied entrance leads to a hall with a traditional oak staircase and a cloakroom with a WC. Off to the left is a superb lounge with a marblestone fireplace fireplace and real fire. This dual aspect room has a bay to the front, fitted cabinets and library shelving. To the right of the hall is a dining room, again with a real fire and a bay window to the front. This room opens off to a snug with a dual aspect and views over the gardens. The well-appointed ‘in frame’ kitchen has integrated appliances plus an AGA and an island extends into an informal dining area with terracotta floor tiling extended into the orangery sitting room area. A utility/boot room connects the kitchen to the back door.

The master bedroom suite is particularly indulgent, being exceptionally generous and includes a bedroom area with French doors to a balcony, a fitted dressing room with an oriel bay window and a well-appointed Christians-style bathroom with a separate shower and bath.

There are three further double bedrooms, one with fitted wardrobes and furniture, all served by a house bathroom with and over bath shower. The landing accommodates a study area.

The annex is a separate building with oak doors throughout and a separate heating system. It includes a utility room/kitchen, a lobby with a wine store off, a hall with a cloaks cupboard leading through to a shower room and an opening off to a bed/sitting room, currently used as a games room. The attached large heated double garage features a tiled floor and twin electric doors.

The gardens are a special feature of the property and include a large garden store, a greenhouse and a summer house with power. The stunning lawns are framed by established borders with specimen trees, shrubs and a beech hedge concealing an area for vegetable growing. The gated gravel driveway off Blackden Lane leads to a circular driveway to the front of the house and onwards to the garaging and annex area at the rear.

For those seeking a good sized family home with additional accommodation away from suburbia, we have no hesitation in recommending a viewing of Oak Lea. Viewing: Strictly by appointment with Savills
