Description

A grand detached property situated in a sought-after area, Mistlethwaite House is a substantial residence with extensive grounds and leisure facilities. The house is set within a Victorian walled garden yet was constructed in the mid 1990s and later added to with an annexe and additional garaging. The house is well suited to multi-generational living, with five bedrooms within the main house and an additional bedroom within a separate wing. The house has a number of eco-conscious additions including a solar array, and there are a number of premium additions such as air conditioning, a security system and an alarm as well as security lights. The house is attractively presented throughout and offers a huge amount of potential for personalisation by the new owner.

The elegant colonnaded entrance opens to a grand hallway, which is central to the accommodation and provides an excellent first impression. The layout is well thought out and offers ample space for entertaining, with two generous reception rooms connecting to the vast kitchen/breakfast room and garden room - perfect for big family gatherings and celebrations. Separate to the living accommodation, the leisure facilities are on the opposite side of the house and include an indoor swimming pool inset within a terrace, changing facilities and showers. In a separate wing, connected to the main house via a lobby, there is an annexe which has its own sitting room, bedroom and shower room, a snug and utility room which is shared with the main residence. Above this there is a games room, which could be converted to provide additional accommodation. The bedrooms are arranged together on the first floor, all five bedrooms are double size and two are en suite, with an additional family bathroom.

Mistlethwaite House is set within expansive grounds of about 5.40 acres, and is approached via an imposing gated entrance. To the front there is extensive parking on a paved courtyard and, in two separate blocks, there is garaging, a workshop with dog shower and a greenhouse with water supply, plus a boarded loft space above for storage. The attractive walled gardens are mature and attractively landscaped, including an area of woodland, lawned areas bordered by lavish flowerbeds, a gazebo and a substantial paved terrace that runs along the back of the main house and the annexe wing. A separate fenced area accommodates a dog-friendly space and there is a kennel with heating and lighting within a brick store.
