AccommodationThe original semi-detached cottage has been creatively and significantly enlarged with many original features retained and seamlessly blended with contemporary attributes, resulting in an outstanding family home with generously proportioned accommodation arranged over two floors in addition to the self-contained annex.
The original front entrance off Cupernham Lane is still in place although, for convenience and practicality, our clients use the rear entrance for day-to-day access which brings you directly into the kitchen/family room.
This is a stunning addition to the original cottage as you are met with a light and open space, truly the hub of the home, and tastefully fitted with a range of stylish units complemented by a matching island with breakfast bar, solid oak worktops, integrated electric oven, induction hob and dishwasher, wooden flooring, and a bespoke oak and glass staircase. Adjoining the kitchen is a practical utility/laundry room, which houses the Vaillant combination central heating boiler, leading into a useful and very tastefully appointed shower room. In addition, the kitchen, utility room and shower room benefit from underfloor heating.
Back to the kitchen and a square arch opens into the sitting room which features a superb Inglenook fireplace with inset wood burner, the sitting room opening into the original front entrance hall and beyond which is a versatile room, currently used as a playroom but could also be a useful ground floor bedroom.
On the first floor is a split-level landing where the vendors have cleverly incorporated some original external features into their internal design. The master bedroom is a large double room which enjoys a double aspect, real wood flooring, and has a beautifully fitted en-suite with large walk-in shower, twin sinks atop a solid wood shelf, WC, heated towel rail, and complementary tiling. There are two additional double bedrooms and these share a stylishly appointed family bathroom fitted with a suite comprising bath, washstand, WC, and contemporary wall and floor tiling.
The annex is a fine addition to the property, sympathetically designed and finished to an exceptional standard for maximum energy efficiency in line with the main house, and perfect for use as ancillary accommodation to the main house, as a self-contained annex for dependent relatives, for homeworking, or simply for leisure purposes. There is a sitting room with bi-folding doors to the garden and space to add a kitchen area if required, yet another stylishly appointed shower room, a double bedroom, and a study which contains the inverter, controls and battery storage with spare capacity for the solar panels. There is separate access to an attached store at the end of the annex.
Outside
The property has gardens to the front side and rear which are principally laid to lawn with some flowers and shrubs, paved patio terrace for barbecues and al-fresco dining, and a safe play area for children all enclosed by fencing. There is access at the rear via Oxlease Meadows to the parking area behind and to the side of the garden with multiple car parking spaces.
Agent’s Note
