Architect designed and individually built in 1953, Four Seasons has been much-loved by its original owners for more than 70 years. Available with NO CHAIN for the very first time and offering considerable development potential this rare home with stunning, southwest facing garden enjoys a mature setting of around half an acre.
Set back from the lane in a prime location this split-level home with accommodation arranged on four levels is entered through a large garden room. The sitting room with central fireplace enjoys a dual aspect and is flooded with natural light. In addition, there is a separate dining room and kitchen with walk-in pantry which opens out onto the rear garden. On the upper floors are three double bedrooms, one with ensuite bathroom, a shower room and separate WC. The largest bedroom which overlooks the rear garden has a balcony and ensuite bathroom. An integral garage and cloaks/WC on the lower ground floor completes the accommodation. A generous front garden with sweeping driveway provides hardstanding for numerous vehicles. The rear garden which is fully landscaped is considered a particular feature and includes a small paddock. Lovingly nurtured over many decades the garden with impressive Atlantic Cedar tree includes a well and ornamental pond. Viewing is highly recommended to fully appreciate the setting and potential of this exceptional home.
