Great Slamseys is a double-fronted Victorian family home offering almost 4,700 sq ft of light-filled, flexible accommodation arranged in an L shape, predominantly over two floors.
The elegant accommodation flows from a welcoming wooden-floored split-level reception hall with a cloak cupboard with WC. It comprises front aspect sitting and living rooms, both with wooden flooring and woodburners (one inset), together with a woodenfloored dining room with garden access and steps up to the generous kitchen. The kitchen features quarry-tiled flooring, base units, an Aga, walk-in storage and space for a table. A door from the kitchen opens to two inter-connecting service rooms: the utility room with built-in storage, a sink and concealed staircase to the first floor; and the boot room with an en suite cloakroom and doors to the office and to the garden to two aspects. The property also benefits from a generous two-roomed cellarage, suitable for a variety of uses.
Stairs rise from the reception hall to a spacious L-shaped split-level landing, It gives access to a front aspect principal bedroom with fitted dressing room and an en suite shower room, a family bathroom with freestanding bath and separate shower and three further double bedrooms, one with a part-vaulted ceiling, another with a fireplace and a third with a further inter-connecting double bedroom. The latter has a door to a second landing, accessible from the concealed staircase rising from the service room. It gives access to the property’s remaining double bedroom and a family shower room, both with potential for use as a self-contained annexe if required.
The property is approached over a sweeping tree-lined driveway and gravelled forecourt providing private parking and giving access to a detached outbuilding comprising a double garage and double carport. The well-maintained garden surrounding the property is laid mainly to lawn interspersed with mature specimen and fruit trees. It features a rear courtyard, giving further access to a 29ft store and inter-connecting office, together with a walled vegetable garden with raised beds, paved terraces and a Grade II listed brick-built 19th century octagonal dovecote, the whole screened by mature hedging and trees and ideal for entertaining and al fresco dining.
