Juniper House has been the subject of a 'no expense spared' full remodel and renovation by the current owners and is now offered for sale as one of the finest homes of its type in the town. Combining a wealth of period features with architect influenced contemporary styling arranged over just 2 floors the house provides over 6000 sqft of wonderful lateral accommodation.
Set down a private drive and with electric gated access the house sits centrally within the generous private grounds . This handsome home has rendered and painted elevations with sash hung windows under a pitched slate roof. Internally, period features include decorative ceiling mouldings, deep skirting boards and working shutters.
The reception hall provides a fitting entrance with a wide tread impressive staircase rising to the first floor, stone tiled floor and the first of two cloakrooms off. There are three reception rooms arranged directly off the reception hall. The drawing room is a magnificent room with dual aspects, a floor to ceiling bay window to one end and French doors leading onto the covered veranda to the side. Original 'pocket' double doors open to the adjacent library, fitted with stunning bespoke bookshelves and cabinetry, a period style fireplace and newly laid parquet flooring, continuing through to the drawing room. Completing the trio of reception rooms, the principal study is generous in size and could easily be repurposed as a TV / sitting room.
A few steps down from the reception hall is the very magnificent kitchen/breakfast/family room. Fitted with a range of modern cabinetry by Roundhouse Kitchens with marble worktops and appliances by Miele and Sub Zero the space provides the perfect environment for keen cooks and entertaining with ample space for a large dining table and three sets of double French doors leading out to the terrace and garden.
A glazed link leads through to a fabulous garden room which is a modern contrast to the rest of the house and provides the perfect position to enjoy the gardens. Two 'low profile' glazed walls have sliding sections which, when open, seamlessly connect house and garden.
Situated with direct access from the kitchen there is a further study, laundry room and 2nd cloakroom.
A hidden door leads through a wall of bespoke cabinetry to a boot room, gym and rear lobby. From the lobby there is a door to the front drive and internal access to the double garage.
The ground floor is primarily heated via an underfloor heating system with the drawing room, library and principal study having radiators.
On the first floor there are four bedroom suites. The opulent principal suite occupies a significant section of the southern side of the house, with spacious dual aspect bedroom opening directly to an exquisite fully fitted dressing room via double doors. Beyond the dressing room, his and hers matching ensuites are fitted with high quality sanitary ware and floor to ceiling marble tiles. The further three suites are equally impressive in quality, all with either ensuite bathrooms or showers and fitted wardrobes. At the end of the first floor landing there is a 'rear' second staircase leading back to the kitchen area.
Outside, the extensive gardens and grounds are a particular feature of Juniper House. To the front a large drive provides plentiful parking for multiple cars and leads to the double garage with automated doors and tiled floors. To the side and rear, the well manicured mature gardens are laid primarily to lawn with large sections of paved terrace directly accessed from the drawing room, kitchen and garden room. The gardens are enclosed by mature planted borders inside brick walls. There is also a large timber built garden machinery store.
