CASTELNAU

This exceptional family house offers superb living and entertaining space, having been extended and sympathetically refurbished to provide a contemporary interior whilst retaining many period features throughout.

The house is set back from the road with a gravelled drive providing parking for several cars, and opens into a wide entrance hall creating a wonderful sense of light and space.

To the front is an elegant bay fronted reception room which is a lovely family area with wonderfully high ceilings and a period fireplace with bespoke cabinetry and display shelving to either side. Alongside the reception room is a family room which is laid with herringbone wooden flooring and has Crittall glass doors leading through to the kitchen/dining room. From the entrance hall stairs lead down to the lower ground floor which provides a great media room.

The kitchen and dining area provides a perfect contemporary dining and entertaining space with a Bulthaup kitchen which has a range units, a large central island/breakfast bar and integrated appliances. The space is flooded with light from skylights and full width sliding glass doors extending the entertaining space further out to the large terrace overlooking the beautifully landscaped southerly facing 111ft garden, which is larger than other gardens on this section of the road because an additional piece of land was purchased.

To the front of the garden is a large terrace with steps down to the lawn which is bordered with mature shrubs and trees. There is a further raised lawn at the rear of the garden with a decked terrace. The end of the garden backs onto secure allotments and is not overlooked, which gives a wonderful sense of seclusion.

Upstairs on the first floor is the principal bedroom which has been refurbished to a high specification, with extensive fitted wardrobes and a luxurious en suite bathroom with a bathtub and glass rain shower. There are two further double bedrooms and a shower room on this floor.

The top floor has a further two double bedrooms and bathroom with a bath and a walk in shower. There is also access to eaves storage on this floor.
