Beautifully extended with a perfect blend of period charm and contemporary design, this detached residence opens onto enviably secluded gardens.

Description Effortlessly engendering a wonderful measure of grace and grandeur whilst at the same time being impeccably appointed for 21st century family life, this detached period home sits back from the tree-lined environs of Broadlands Avenue behind the secure electric gates of a prodigious in/out gravel driveway. Opening onto blissfully secluded gardens, a thoughtfully extended layout remains hugely respectful of the original architecture with leaded windows and heritage hues sympathetic to its history. Behind the charm of a gabled doorway an enclosed entrance porch opens to reveal a central entrance hallway bathed in sunlight filtering down over the classical elegance of a turning staircase. Prompting a sense of height and space, it unfolds onto a series of interconnecting spaces filled with natural light, soft subtle tones and the adaptability to cater to your own needs. A distinguished large sitting room is both refined yet utterly relaxing. An expanse of leaded windows looks out onto the leafy environs and whilst a wood burner nestles within a marble and wrought iron fireplace, graceful cornicing wraps-around above you. The tasteful aesthetic is echoed in an adjoining music room with wide bow windows. French doors give the option of allowing the sitting and music rooms to become one open plan space when and if needed, while glazed double doors to a magnificent conservatory allow garden vistas to be carried through. Adding a superior work/life balance, across the entrance hall a dedicated office is admirably appointed with a wealth of fitted desk and storage space for two people to work alongside one another with ease. Double aspect leafy outlooks conjure a tremendous working environment and the placement of the room prompts a subtle yet defined delineation from the main living spaces. Enhancing the considered flow of the ground floor further still, a spacious double aspect kitchen/dining room can be accessed from both the hall and the music room. Supremely well-appointed with contemporary solid wood Shaker cabinetry and first class integrated appliances and a filtered water tap it is designed for modern family life. Black granite countertops give a sleek contrast to the timber tones of the cabinets and a butler sink adds quintessential charm. Ideal for everyday life as well as evenings spent entertaining friends, the impressive dining area easily accommodates a large central table as well as a relaxed snug/seating space within the curve of further bay windows. An adjacent fully fitted utility room keeps laundry hidden from view and has handy direct access to the garden. Explore further and you�ll discover that the extended layout continues into a superbly sized gym where a mirrored wall reflect views of the garden and French doors tempt you out on the landscaped terracing for a post-work out stretch. Highly versatile as a guest suite or ground floor accommodation for multi-generational households, this exceptional space has the added benefit of an enviably deluxe en suite with both an inset bath and glass door waterfall shower. Upstairs the original grace and elegance of the house remains intact, sitting side by side with luxury detailing. With high ceilings and a palette of heritage colours, four double bedrooms proffer an ideal measure of flexible accommodation. With majestic trees adding a leafy backdrop, the restful main bedroom pairs tastefully styled fitted wardrobes with the architecture of an oriel window. A deep recessed cupboard supplies additional storage without encroaching on the feel of floor space of the room, while an outstanding en-suite with a glass framed waterfall shower combines a pared-back aesthetic with the streamline design on an inset TV perfectly placed for you to catch on your favourite shows, news or sport while you recline and unwind in the bath. Two of the additional three bedrooms have fitted wardrobes of their own, and together with the fourth share a family bath/shower room arranged in a monochrome tile setting. Outside When you step out from the conservatory or gym you�ll find it irresistibly easy to let your shoulders relax and leave the hubbub of a busy day behind you. Evoking a tremendous degree of privacy and tranquillity, the gardens of this Shepperton abode conjure a beautiful retreat where everyone can spend time together. Expansive landscaped terracing wraps out and across the full width of the extended layout of the house producing an abundance of options for al fresco dining and afternoon siestas. Statuesque banana leaf trees stretch upwards to the side of the conservatory, while a bounty of mature trees reach around an established lawn lending a natural canopy to flowerbeds fully stocked with evergreen shrubs, palms, roses and poppies. Uplighters are perfectly placed to illuminate the planting at night and a vintage lamppost serves as a final reminder of the property�s history and character. At the front of the house a walled in/out gravel driveway is framed to either side by secure electric gates with intercom entry. It combines with an integral garage to give a coveted level of secure off-road parking whilst also hinting at the degree of privacy and exclusivity on offer.
