***Foxhall Estate Agents*** are delighted to offer for sale a rare opportunity to purchase a superb Georgian style Chater 5/6 bedroom detached luxury executive extended house in one of the most desirable cul-de-sacs in the whole of Bixley Farm. The house was originally constructed in the early 1990's and the current owners have enjoyed over 30 years living here from brand new - this is never since been on the open market.

In 2002 the property benefitted from a superb three room pitched roof ground floor extension. We are informed by the sellers that the foundations are sufficient for a second storey to be added. Chater houses, particularly from this period, have a very good reputation with a large number of high-end fixtures and fittings including suspended floors.

The extension has created a superb suite of rooms, including a potential separate dining room/office/bedroom six alongside a double size ground floor bedroom and a further office which could even be used as a seventh bedroom. The layout of the extension could potentially lend itself to an annexe with the incorporation of a separate entrance from the side or rear.

Summary Continued

There is a lovely 22'6" x 11'11" westerly facing lounge the focal point of the room is a genuine open fire and one of the many selling points is the delightful front to back west and east facing 22'8" x 12' kitchen breakfast and dining room. A new Howdens kitchen was installed in 2017 with an ample range of units and work surfaces. On the first floor there are four additional good sized bedrooms with an en-suite shower room off the main bedroom.

At the front of the property there is a large block paved quadruple driveway leading to a double garage with light and power and ample eaves storage space. The rear garden has a much larger than average plot and comes complete with a 15'6" x 9'7" luxury cabin which leads out onto a south facing patio. The cabin is supplied with power and light and made out of Dutch wood and there is a separate good sized timber workshop with double doors at the front.

The whole property is presented in excellent decorative order and is extremely well maintained and enhanced by the current owners over the years. In 2019 the entire house had double glazed windows and doors replaced and feature Georgian style sash windows which has enhanced the appearance of the property to the highest of levels. This is combined with the decorative front elevation brickwork and impressive arched front doorway (both additional features of Chater Homes of this period) giving it an incredibly impressive luxury look and is one of the most sought after styles on Bixley Farm.

There are interconnected mains powered smoke alarms on the landing and outside the downstairs bedroom and also in the garage and the utility room for the solar panel system. There's a 16 panel solar panel system has been installed by a local independent company Greenscape Management Limited on 10th December 2024 with a battery in the garage. In the summer months this is totally self-sufficient and has formed a savings/income from the energy supplier of approximately £1100 compared to the previous year.

The property is situated in a very quiet position at the end of Pardoe Place, one of the most sought after cul-de-sacs on the Bixley Farm development. A footpath literally 40 yards away gives access direct out onto Rushmere Heath and golf course making this a superb place for a golfer or anyone with young children and dogs to enjoy all the facilities the heath has to offer. Furthermore Broke Hall Primary school is a short five minute walk away and in the other direction the selection of local shops and facilities on Bixley Farm are only a ten minute walk away.
