Description

Amblemead is an exceptional modern family home offering beautifully presented accommodation. The house was built about 20 years ago in the ‘Arts & Crafts’ style, with elevations of mellow red brick and tile hanging with feature gables and oriel bay windows under a plain tiled roof. The high specification includes a hand painted wood kitchen, luxuriously appointed bath and shower rooms, extensive use of oak joinery including the impressive staircase, internal doors, and some architraves and skirtings, marble flooring to the reception hall and kitchen, ceiling cornices, and lighting and sound systems that run throughout the house.

The stunning reception hall has central oak staircase with galleried landing above, oak wall panelling, feature marble floor, and a guest cloakroom. The elegant drawing room has a pale stone fire surround with a Stovax fire and slate hearth, and views over the garden through French doors that lead onto the terrace. The formal dining room also has double doors to the garden. The family sitting room has oak flooring and an orangery style area with glazed roof and doors to the terrace at the rear. The magnificent open plan kitchen/ breakfast room has a triple aspect including French doors overlooking the swimming pool and a gas pebble feature fire. Superbly equipped, the kitchen features a large central island, with breakfast bar and induction hob with extractor over. There are granite surfaces and integrated appliances include twin ovens, dishwasher and fridge/ freezer. The study has oak flooring and leads through to a useful boot room, and onto the large utility room with a door to the garage and a staircase up to a playroom or office above, with Velux type windows.

From the hall an oak staircase leads up to the galleried landing. The beautifully appointed main suite has bedroom with stylish curved fitted wardrobes, a door to the balcony which overlooks the pool and garden, a fully fitted dressing room and a spa like shower room. There are three further immaculate bedrooms on this floor, two with en suite shower rooms, and a large family bathroom with bath, separate shower and a treatment area.

Outside
Imposing brick pillars and electric hardwood gates open into the driveway providing extensive parking and turning area in front of the house and lead to the integral Double Garage with electric up-and-over doors. The gardens and grounds are a particular feature, having been beautifully landscaped. They are mainly laid to lawn with some mature trees and established hedging providing complete seclusion. A wide paved terrace to the side and rear overlooks the heated swimming pool beside which there is a large paved terrace perfect for summer entertaining. There is a Pool House with cloakroom, shower room and changing room together with the heating and filtration plant. The garden extends to just over an acre and enjoys a delightful outlook across the paddock of approximately half an acre.
