Fitzroy Road, Fleet, Hampshire

This substantial and imposing family house offers balanced and versatile living in one of Fleet's most desirable residential settings. Approached across the driveway through recently renewed automated, wooden gates that can be operated remotely, on entering the house there is an immediate sight-line towards the garden. Of particular note is the striking and wonderfully light, under floor heated kitchen/family room in which one can cook, dine and sit in an informal and convivial setting, over which there are two impressive lantern skylights. The TV/games room is accessible from the kitchen and offers an ideal breakout space for children. A well proportioned sitting room, also orientated towards the garden, has a wood burner as a focal point, and a large study ensures optimum flexibility for families.

Over the upper two floors there are four generous bedrooms, two of which benefit from en-suite shower rooms. The two other bedrooms are served by a striking family bathroom. Over the top floor, an impressive bedroom suite comprises a large bedroom overlooking the garden, walk-in dressing room and shower room. A number of rooms in the house have been recently re-imagined by highly regarded interior designer, Margi Rose.

Stretching some way ahead of you when coming out of the back of the house, the entirely south facing gardens have undergone recent landscaping and now offer a verdant haven with ample lawn for chidren's activities and also includes an artificial putting green! Well wooded and hedged boundaries give a sense of privacy and there are various other shrubs of interest. There is also a sun terrace close to the house.

To the front of the house, on the driveway, is a detached double garage ideal for conventional uses but also for storage and as a workshop. There is plenty of driveway parking for numerous vehicles
