Description

Conifers is an impressive detached home, well positioned within its generous plot of delightful mature gardens. The size of the gardens provide privacy within the context of the town, as well as providing plenty of space if the next custodian wished to extend the house.

Built in the early 1950’s, the house has a pleasingly conventional layout. The main rooms are reached off the spacious entrance hall, including the comfortable double aspect sitting room with French doors out to the garden, and a dining room. The principal rooms enjoy parquet flooring and polished floorboards. A functional kitchen incorporates a breakfast area, a lovely view of the gardens and a useful pantry, whilst beyond the kitchen is a delightful garden room, a later addition to the house which brings the outside in. The ground floor is complete with a utility room, and two WC’s whilst the integral garaging provides scope to increase the ground floor living space.

All bedrooms are on the first floor, with a large landing leading to all rooms. The principal double bedroom is a light and spacious room, with double aspect and the unique feature of a built in shower and sink. There are two further double bedrooms, a single bedroom, an airing cupboard and a family bathroom with separate WC. All rooms enjoy views out over the gardens.

Gardens
The gardens of Conifers are a wonderful feature of the property, particularly given the convenient town location. The house is approached over a sweeping gravelled in and out drive, that leads up to the house and garaging. The house is set comfortably back from the road, with a good mature frontage of lawns, shrubs and trees that provide good protection and privacy.

To the west of the house is, divided from the front by hedging, is an area of orchard with old English varieties, underplanted with spring bulbs. A trellis fence leads onto a productive kitchen garden ideally positioned for the sun from the south and west, with compost area and greenhouse, and all sheltered by established laurel hedging. Adjoining the house is a paved terrace, framed between a high wall and the garden room and creating an ideal area for outside dining and entertaining with views over the garden. A gravelled area is beyond this, with flowerbeds, paved paths and enclosed by trellis fencing adorned with roses. An archway leads between high established into the what feels like a secret garden, which opens out to an expanse of lawn, with well stocker herbaceous beds, specimen trees and shrubs, and a charming summer house in one corner with a south to west aspect. It is a perfect calm oasis away from the hustle and bustle of the town.

The property includes an integral double garage, with a good depth of five meters and electric doors, together with a garden shed.
