OPEN HOUSE SATURDAY 5TH SEPTEMBER 11AM - 12 NOON CALL NOW TO BOOK YOUR VIEWING SLOT.
This well-presented family home is in an idyllic position, a view put so well by the owner, “This is the perfect location. With lovely views out over what was once a famous racecourse, and out over Galleywood common, which is a nature reserve, you are surrounded by open countryside, and sitting in the middle of your own plot, lovely and private too.” The property is light and airy, and has been modernised and refurbished from top to bottom, with underfloor heating to the ground floor (radiators to the first) and double-glazing throughout. Its ground floor master suite, and three first floor bedrooms, one of which is en-suite, well-proportioned reception rooms, separate double width garage and loft space suited to conversion, say into an office, and fantastic outdoor space make this a warm and welcoming place to come home to.
Let there be light!
When you first pull up to this charming property, its setting cannot fail to please you, and this is what first attracted the current owners, who bought the property back in 2007, “You realise immediately that the property is not overlooked, and in a lovely sheltered position; set back in the drive, which has parking for lots of cars, and behind a good sized hedge.” And stepping over the threshold, you can tell straight away that there has been a lot of work done here, as the owner affirms, “We have done everything to modernise and refurbish the property, and it’s now a lovely space to come into. We’ve chosen light colours to maximise the light that floods in and it’s a really bright home.” The hallway is the perfect example of this, with oak flooring leading you through to the rest of the house, with seamless effect, and a lovely oak staircase taking you up to the first floor. To your left, you discover the master suite, complete with glazed fitted wardrobes that reflect the light. There can be no doubt of the owner’s views on this room, “I love it!”, we hear, “It’s a fantastic size, and bright, roomy and airy, and I love the wet room en-suite even more; it’s so practical to be on the ground floor and I wish I could take them both with me.” To the right of the hallway, you step into the dining room, and, as the owner says, “Everyone is drawn to the lovely bay window, which looks out on to the common. It’s a lovely feature, as is the wrought iron fireplace.”
Bringing the outside in
To the rear of the property, you find both the kitchen and the sitting room, and these rooms combined make up the main living area for the owners, as we hear, “The kitchen and sitting room work really well together, especially in the summer with the French doors open on to the terrace, and the outside space merges in. It’s a great way to live.” The kitchen has a lovely travertine floor, and is well designed to allow space for a table and chairs, as well as the practical space required. It’s also a lovely bright space, as we learn, “We have lots of light coming into the kitchen. We get the sun here practically all day long.” There is under floor heating on the ground floor, and the property benefits from an underground heat pump, which has really paid dividends, as the owner explains, “The underground heat source pump combines with all the heating and hot water to create both a consistent and ambient temperature on a very economical basis,” adding, “In the sitting room, we have a lovely wood-burner which gives us a background rather than being a practical heat source. We love it though, and can’t resist lighting it in the winter, and this makes for a lovely cosy room.” As with the kitchen there is an abundance of light, not surprisingly so, as the owner explains, “Having not only French doors, but full length glazed windows either side, and being south-facing, the light floods into these two rooms.”
A unique place to enjoy
The first floor accommodation is very well-represented in neutral colours throughout, and provides three further bedrooms, with one en-suite, and a family bathroom. From here, you really get a sense of where the house sits in relation to both the common and the former racecourse, as we hear, “We have lovely views from the bedrooms of both the common, which adjoins the property, and of course this once renowned racecourse, now disused, but which, in its time, was the only racecourse with a village church within its boundaries!” and as such, “This place has a truly rural feel, with views that stretch across land untainted by development and with a timeless nature about them. It never fails to bring pleasure.”
And this can also be said for the garden.A lovely brick terrace wraps itself around the rear of the property, and from here you step down on to a lawn area and beyond it a further seating area overlooking the pond. These combined offer a great way to enjoy the outdoors as a family, “The terrace is a great place to enjoy al fresco meals; there’s plenty of room to kick a ball on the lawn, and it has a certain appeal to other visitors too. We see plenty of wildlife here, with deer and woodpeckers out favourite visitors. The pond at the bottom of the garden attracts all number of insects and butterflies too.” The owner is a keen gardener, and enjoys the fruits of her labour, particularly when they are edible, as we learn, “I love my greenhouse and garden shed. I grow all manner of things, and it’s great to have these facilities.” Beyond the pond is a large outbuilding, which offers up further space, as the owner explains, “The outbuilding and extra space that this offers is currently used as a gym by my son, but having electricity, it could be adapted for a number of uses.” And what better way to highlight the truly wonderful location that you will find all of this in, than by hearing a rather unusual fact from the owner, “We knew that we had somewhere special to live, and this is affirmed by the fact that we have our own postcode, which is not shared with any other property. That’s how brilliantly well located we are!” who adds, “And with everything literally five minutes from our front door, we are well positioned within the wider community too.”
