Full Description
Albertine is one of the nine properties that were constructed in the early 1970’s, each to an individual modernist design with cedar cladding and a low-profile roof line to reduce its visual impact and blend in with the surrounding wooded setting. Synonymous with its period the spacious accommodation extends to 1876 sq.ft providing excellent entertaining space with 2 regular shaped interconnecting reception rooms, study and kitchen/breakfast room with an adjoining utility, all flooded with natural light by full-height windows. The living room has two sets of patio doors opening onto beautiful walled and landscaped rear garden and secluded sunny front courtyard. To the first floor are 4 double bedrooms leading off a wide galleried landing, the main bedroom has built-in wardrobes an ensuite and an additional, large, 4-piece family bathroom. This lovely home can be enjoyed in its current condition but would benefit from some refurbishment. Alternatively, it would make an exciting project, our clients have obtained two sets of planning permission by a renowned contemporary architect. The first, is for extension and refurbishment of the existing. The second, for replacement of the existing with a 3154 sq.ft (293 sq.m) new build in sympathy with the existing structure. In anticipation and to future proof the home, the garage has been rebuilt to include bespoke electric doors and incorporates a state-of-the-art plant room with an exceptionally efficient ground source heat pump, its own bore hole and water filtration system providing an unmetered water supply.
The landscaped grounds area an exceptional feature to the home extending to approximately 0.23 acre. To the front are two raised beds, both beautifully and extensively planted that on the right as a wild garden and the other with specimen hydrangeas. A a central driveway that provides ample parking and leads to the detached garaging. The secluded rear garden is enclosed by a high wall dating back to the late 1900 century providing excellent privacy and seclusion. The gardens have been traditionally landscaped with a manicured central lawn bordered by well-stocked specimen shrub beds and mature trees. There is access on both sides to two courtyards, the one leading to the rear of the living room is a real sun trap and has a raised filtered Koi carp pond. The other is accessed off the utility room.
