Description
A substantial detached house, occupying a fabulous garden plot of approximately 0.75 of an acre. Set back at the end of a cul-de-sac, with no passing traffic, in an attractive village, Glebe House has been extended and modernised by the current owners. The versatile two storey home offers well-proportioned rooms, with an oversized ground floor layout, incorporating oversized garages and an integrated ground floor annex wing. In addition there is a heated indoor exercise swimming pool and solar PV-panels, with feed-in tariff of around £500pa, on average.
Approached through gates to an extensive graveled driveway and turning sweep, with access to the garages, the house is entered through double front doors to the porch and wide, inviting, tile floored entrance stairwell hallway.
To the west, the 25’ sitting room spans the entire width of the house, with front facing bay window and bi-fold doors to the garden. Double doors open from it, to the Family/Games Room, with views into the swimming pool and access to the integral garages. The indoor swimming pool combines a jacuzzi plunge pool with an exercise swimming pool, with a constant stream of water for you to swim against.
From the entrance hallway, double oak doors open to the symmetrical dining room, a cloakroom/W.C., a study/office, with bi-fold doors to the garden and the kitchen/breakfast room.
The dual-aspect kitchen/breakfast room has an extensive fitted suite with wall and base units beneath corian worktops, and central island with fitted breakfast table, for informal dining. With integrated ovens, hob and dishwasher, there are attractive views of the gardens.
Adjoining, the kitchen to the east, a rear porch and large utility/laundry, coupled with a further lobby, leads into the annex wing, with sitting room, garden room, kitchen, bedroom and shower room. Whilst integral to the house, with its own external access, the annex also works marvellously for relatives or guests who value some independence.
At first floor, the landing accesses five bedrooms. The principal and guest bedrooms both have fitted wardrobes and en-suite shower rooms. Bedrooms three, four and five line the front elevation, with attractive views. Bedroom three also has fitted wardrobes and the three bedrooms are served by the modern, full-suite family bathroom, with bath and separate shower.
Outside: The house is centrally positioned within its 0.75 acre grounds, with the formal gardens to the south of the house. Approached through a five bar gate with gravelled driveway and parking for many vehicles, together with integral double garaging, the gardens are enclosed by fenced hedgerows. They are principally lawned, but with a range of mature trees and shrubs, with terraces and raised borders.
