Blyth House couldn’t have a better ‘best of both worlds’ setting: the house is moments from the M25 and between two highly desirable towns both with commuter stations, yet is situated in splendid isolation down a quiet country lane, surrounded by its own grounds of about two acres amongst lovely greenbelt countryside. The 1920s property is fronted by a large driveway with plenty of parking, and the grounds are fantastically versatile and perfect for big celebrations and garden parties, with a tennis court for added interest. The outbuildings offer plenty of storage and the opportunity for conversion, and the trees and pond attract a wide variety of wildlife. Extended in the 1980s, the house <br/>is elegant and traditional internally, with character features including exposed beams and a handsome staircase; the kitchen is a particular highlight with its cherry red AGA (part electric, part gas) and Brookmans cabinetry. <br/>The main house and games room both enjoy gas-fired central heating. <br/>Interior <br/>The interiors are attractively presented in a modern style that complements the age of the house, using mostly neutral colours and natural materials. The main part of the house is 1920s but there are later additions to the rear and side, completed in the Seventies and Eighties. <br/>Alongside the garage there is a kitchen and shower room on the ground floor and a large studio/games room above, which would make fantastic guest accommodation, for an au pair or older children (subject to the necessary consents). A welcoming entrance hall opens to a triple aspect dining room, a sitting room opening to the rear garden and a fabulously light and airy family room – all the rooms connect to create <br/>one big open plan space if required. The kitchen and breakfast room is another generously sized space, which incorporates a large breakfast bar and lots of storage, and an adjoining utility room and pantry. The first floor has five double bedrooms, two of which are en suite, and an additional family bathroom.
