Available for the first time on the market, Burbank offers a unique opportunity to purchase a family home right in the heart of Kingswood. Approached via a sweeping driveway, the property is set in a secluded 0.75 acre plot, surrounded by mature gardens.

Built at the beginning of 1970, with substantial additions including a swimming pool complex in the early 1980s, the property boasts a butterfly roof and encapsulates the seventies era, complete with original features.

Entering the property, the large reception hall has a double height ceiling creating a light, airy space. This leads into a double aspect sitting room with an attractive vaulted ceiling, an open plan dining room leads into the kitchen/breakfast room with sliding doors, providing direct access onto a substantial terrace and entertaining space. In addition, there is a downstairs cloakroom.

Stairs rise to the first floor where there is a double bedroom with ensuite shower/bathroom and access on to an upper terrace, a family bath/shower room which services two double bedrooms, and a further double bedroom with ensuite shower bathroom. The principal suite was added in the 1980s and contains a bespoke dressing room, access to the upper terrace and a unique but unfinished double aspect ensuite with a wooden waved ceiling.

Heading down to the garden level, a panelled library with a semi-circular fireplace, offers an intimate entertaining area with its own entrance. The property also contains a laundry and a secure double garage with internal access.

The swimming pool complex is furnished with a large 2.5m deep curved saltwater pool, jacuzzi, bar, sauna/steam room, male and female changing rooms/cloakrooms.

The garden is planted with mature shrubs and trees, with a South/West facing plot, a large terrace, ideal for Al fresco dining, a rockery with a waterfall, a large greenhouse, shed and triple aspect home office with air/heating.
