Description

Detached 7 bedroom family home in Uphall with impressive 3 level gardens and an additional Annexe.

A welcoming entrance porch with an attractive mosaic tiled floor leads into the impressive reception hallway, where a breathtaking grand wooden staircase creates an immediate focal point. The generous sitting room offers a charming feature fireplace, while the heart of the home is undoubtedly the stunning kitchen, fitted with an excellent range of integrated appliances, granite worktops and a breakfast bar, with direct access to the garden. Open to the kitchen, the bright dual aspect family and dining room provides an exceptional space for everyday family life and entertaining alike, with double patio doors opening onto the garden. A fully fitted dual aspect utility room also enjoys garden access, while the versatile games room offers flexibility to suit a variety of lifestyles, whether as a cinema room, gym or additional reception space. Completing the main accommodation on this level is a stylish fully tiled two-piece WC with a heated towel rail.

A particular highlight of the property is the self-contained annexe, thoughtfully designed to provide independent ground floor accommodation. Ideal for multi-generational living, an elderly relative, teenage children or long-term guests, it comprises a spacious lounge, fully fitted utility room, double bedroom and a three-piece bathroom, creating a comfortable and private living environment whilst remaining seamlessly connected to the main home.

The first floor landing benefits from two useful storage cupboards and leads to six well-proportioned bedrooms. The impressive primary bedroom enjoys a contemporary fully tiled en-suite shower room with a corner shower enclosure. Four further double bedrooms provide generous accommodation, including one currently utilised as a dressing room with large mirrored fitted wardrobes, another featuring two double built-in wardrobes, one enjoying a bright dual aspect, and a further bedroom with a built-in wardrobe. The sixth bedroom is a compact double, currently arranged as a home office, offering excellent flexibility for modern family requirements. Completing the accommodation is the luxurious fully tiled family bathroom, fitted with a four-piece suite incorporating a freestanding bath and chrome heated towel rail.

Externally, the property sits within approximately one acre of beautifully maintained, split-level gardens, accessed via gated entrance and a substantial mono-blocked driveway providing extensive parking. The gardens have been thoughtfully landscaped to create three separate patio areas for outdoor dining and entertaining, while mature woodland and a picturesque stream enhance the sense of privacy and tranquillity. The grounds also enjoy an enviable outlook across one of the greens of the neighbouring golf course, with direct access available. Further benefits include a substantial triple garage together with two useful outbuildings, one currently utilised for storage and the other as a cosy snug. The property is completed by a combination of gas central heating and double glazing.
