Description
Having been significantly extended and updated under our clients' ownership, Foxlea is now a very light, spacious and generously proportioned family home, with a flexible and well-balanced layout that can be configured to suit individual needs, offering plenty of space for family and guests.
A generous reception hall leads to the stylish kitchen/breakfast room with attractive wall and base cabinetry providing good storage, with a range of integrated appliances. The central island with a striking granite worktop, offers further storage and preparation space with room for a good-sized table and chairs for more informal dining. The kitchen/breakfast room opens onto the impressive oak-framed garden room, creating a highly sociable layout, with two sets of French doors opening to the terrace and gardens beyond, bringing the outside, inside. A utility room adjoins the kitchen with direct access to the gardens.
A large, welcoming, front-to-back and triple aspect sitting room is ideal for more formal entertaining with a feature fireplace with working log burner and French doors overlooking and opening onto the gardens. The dining room also enjoys the view over and direct access onto the terrace and gardens beyond and a separate good-sized fitted study is ideal for today's working from home needs.
The ground floor is completed with a fifth double bedroom and a ground floor shower room.
The first floor is home to the impressive, large, triple aspect principal bedroom, which benefits from several fitted wardrobes, plenty of room for further furniture and a well-appointed en suite shower room. There are three further bedrooms on this floor, one with a mezzanine feature, together with a family bathroom. There is also a first floor sitting room/tv snug, enclosed with frameless glass walls and door allowing the first floor to be flooded with natural light through the feature window to the front of the house.
Outside: Sat comfortably in its plot Foxlea enjoys generous and established gardens to the rear, predominantly laid to lawn with shrubs and planting providing interest and colour. There are two large paved terraces, providing wonderful areas from which to entertain and take in the views over the garden and neighbouring countryside. There is also a detached garden studio, perfect for any number of uses, such as a home office or gym.
Foxlea is comfortably set back from the road, in a total plot of approximately 0.4 acres, approached over a private driveway providing parking for numerous vehicles, with a detached two-bay car port with EV charging point.
