Louis & Co are delighted to offer for sale this substantial and beautifully presented property with 6 bedrooms, 5 reception rooms, 4 bathrooms, open plan kitchen, double garage, heated swimming pool with self-contained pool house, hot tub, log cabin and pond.
This impeccable family home dates back to the 1920’s and has been tastefully extended and updated to a very high standard by its current owners with elegant and modern decor and is situated in a private setting in Loose with stunning views across the valley.
Upon driving through the electronic gates and proceeding up the drive you will approach the house. Once inside, you will enter the spacious hallway with a galleried landing, parquet flooring and storage which will then lead you into the beautiful living room which has double doors leading out to the garden and a feature fireplace and a large double aspect dining room also with parquet flooring, feature fireplace and two sets of double doors accessing the garden. Also located off the hallway there is a stunning and fully equip kitchen/breakfast room with a seating area with bi-folding doors which overlooks the landscaped garden and the views across the valley. There is also another reception room which is currently being used as a games room which has access to the conservatory which again overlooks the garden.
To the first floor of the property there are six large double bedrooms (two with en-suite bathrooms) one is currently being used as a dressing room and two very well presented family bathrooms (one with a rainfall shower and double jacuzzi bath).
Outside the property there are two wooden gates which open into a wide gravel driveway which leads you to a large area of block paved parking surrounded by landscaped gardens. Twin electric doors access a large double garage currently set up as a gym with an internal door to the house and access to the garden. Paths and walkways surround the house with access to the gardens from all sides. The huge sun terrace has a heated swimming pool with electrically operated cover, an eight-man hot tub and a decked area to the side for entertaining. The pool house has been converted into a self-contained annexe with kitchen, living area/bedroom and shower room. To the rear of the pool house is a large storage area. Up the steps from the pool area is a separate sun terrace with shed and greenhouse. Tall established trees and hedgerow line much of the boundary granting the house and its grounds a great deal of privacy and seclusion. The rest of the garden is mainly laid with a flat south facing lawn with established planted flower borders and shrub beds with mature specimen trees. The bottom of the garden has a spilt rail fence with winding steps down to a secluded area, carefully reformed in the recent years to capitalise on this south facing spot and its striking valley views, enhanced with a pond and rock garden, finished off with a feature water fall trickling over the exposed ragstone and lit up to shine over the valley at night. From here there is access to a number of public footbaths and walks. In addition there is also access to a log cabin.
