Pine Coombe, Croydon, CR0

Within a prestigious, private gated estate and set back behind a carriage drive with two pairs of tall, electric gates, an attractive, detached house of quality, beautifully maintained and styled to an exceptional standard. The fine exteriors are of mellow brick with white painted weather boarding to the first floor and a tile hung central elevation, under a pitched tiled roofline. Windows and French doors are large, multi-pane double glazed casements, which allow for an abundance of natural light to flood through the property as well as views of the lovely gardens. Extending to in excess of 4,800 square feet excluding garaging, the property has been immaculately maintained by the present owner and includes bright, free-flowing reception areas and large bedroom suites, whilst the magnificent orangery is a wonderful addition. The ground floor is a mix of versatility and grandeur, with three reception rooms to the rear of the house offering views across the splendid gardens. The property is entered via a stunning wonderfully light hallway with a central staircase that leads to a galleried landing. The generously proportioned drawing room has dual aspect, floor to ceiling windows which open to the rear patio creating an exquisite space for formal entertaining, adjacent is the dining room that is equally bright and sumptuous. The highlight of the ground floor is the impressive 39 ft orangery that allows for a more informal dining space leading to a glass roofed family room creating a stunning area for day to day living with the added benefit of a media room accessed via stairs from the orangery. The kitchen is a bespoke Mark Wilson design, well equipped with integrated appliances, stone counter tops and cream wood cabinetry with an adjacent laundry room. The ground floor is complete with a separate study, cloakroom and a guest W.C.
Five generous bedrooms are arranged over the first floor with the magnificent principal suite including a walk-in wardrobe, further built in storage and en-suite shower and bath.
