DESCRIPTION
1 Ley Grange represents a rare opportunity to acquire the principal part of an elegant and substantial period residence, offering wonderfully proportioned accommodation extending to over 3,500 sq ft and occupying mature gardens of approximately 0.85 acres.

The property is approached over a sweeping gravel driveway which immediately creates a sense of arrival and leads to the handsome white rendered fa硤e with its symmetrical elevations and attractive bay windows.

An impressive reception hall provides a superb introduction to the home, featuring a beautiful staircase rising to the first floor and showcasing the character and proportions synonymous with houses of this era. Above, an exceptional stained glass roof lantern floods the staircase with natural light and provides a striking architectural focal point.

To the front of the house are two elegant reception rooms, both enjoying attractive bay windows overlooking the gardens. The drawing room is a wonderfully formal entertaining space centred around an open feature fireplace, whilst the sitting room offers a more relaxed atmosphere with a clear view log burning stove creating a warm and welcoming focal point.

To the rear of the property lies the heart of the home; a spacious open plan kitchen and dining room fitted with an excellent range of cabinetry together with a range cooker and integrated appliances. The room provides ample space for both family living and entertaining and benefits from direct access onto a delightful covered south facing alfresco seating area, perfectly designed for outdoor dining and enjoyment throughout the seasons, with a further patio area beyond. Completing the ground floor accommodation is a useful rear hall, well-appointed utility room and a separate study, ideal for home working. In addition, the property benefits from a cellar providing excellent ancillary storage.

The first floor continues the generous proportions found throughout the home and comprises four well balanced double bedrooms. The principal bedroom is particularly impressive, enjoying dual aspect views across the gardens and surrounding grounds. The remaining bedrooms are all of an excellent size and are served by two family bathrooms, one of which has been beautifully updated.

GARDENS & GROUNDS
The grounds are undoubtedly one of the property's defining features and have been lovingly maintained to create an exceptional garden setting extending to approximately 0.85 acres. Beautifully landscaped lawns are interspersed with colourful herbaceous borders, established rose gardens, mature hedgerows and a magnificent collection of specimen trees, providing year-round interest and an excellent degree of privacy. The gardens offer numerous seating areas from which to enjoy the surroundings and have been thoughtfully designed to complement the house perfectly.

Positioned within the gardens is an attractive timber garden room with useful storage to the rear, providing an ideal space for hobbies, entertaining or simply enjoying the peaceful setting. The sweeping gravel driveway provides extensive parking and leads to a detached garage with storage above.
