9 Pitch & Pay Lane is a charming post war detached Stride built family house, situated within part of the original walled garden of The Mythe an historic villa long since demolished but which has left an enviable fully enclosed plot with a predominantly south west facing orientation with a superb family home in the centre.

Approached via double gates with plenty of off street parking and a detached garage, there is access from both sides of the house to the rear garden.

Internally, the house is arranged over two floors complete with a large boarded loft above and a versatile layout and, subject to consent, presenting the opportunity for any new owner to extend out & up subject to the necessary consents.

Internally, the ground floor presents a sociable and light filled layout, with much of the original stripped wooden flooring across the hallway and principal reception rooms. From the hall there is a useful understairs cupboard as well as access to a fitted cloakroom with a w.c and wash basin.

The sitting room is a wonderful size; dual aspect running the full depth of the house with views over the front and rear gardens, and double glazed sliding doors out to the rear, complete with a dressed marble fire surround and coal effect gas fire below.

Adjacent to the sitting room, and accessed either via the entrance hall or folding doors from the sitting room is a lovely light dining room with double glazed sliding doors out into the rear garden; presenting a lovely inside outside lifestyle.

To the front of the house is a useful study, with views out over the driveway and front garden.

To the rear of the house is a charming family kitchen and breakfast room, opening up via glazed double doors to a hugely useful conservatory.

The kitchen is a great size, with an expanse of granite worktops and a useful peninsular island along with extensive floor and wall mounted storage with fitted pear wood cabinets.

A 1 bowl sink overlooks the rear garden, and the kitchen is finished with an integrated dishwasher, fridge, oven and grill along with a 4 ring gas hob and a double fronted larder cupboard.

The conservatory is a super size and functional all year round; with thermostatic controlled electric ceiling windows and French doors opening out into the garden.

Accessed off the kitchen is an inner hall with a side entrance to the house ideal after muddy walks, with access to a fitted utility room with added storage.

Upstairs lie four generous double bedrooms; bookended at each end via generous bedroom suites boasting en suite facilities and two double bedrooms in between served by a well appointed family bathroom.

The master bedroom is particularly spacious, running front to back with plenty of space for fitted wardrobes and the potential to convert back to two bedrooms should the additional bedroom be required.

Accessed from the landing is the loft, via a hatch and folding ladder, which has been fully boarded to present additional long term storage but equally a space to explore should further accommodation be required.

Outside

The gardens of No. 9 are exquisite, and a testament to the love, care and attention given to them by the current owners over the past 22 years or so.

At the front, aside from some excellent gated parking is a small level lawn and raised beds, perfect for fruit veg and cutting plants. The house is flanked to both sides giving full 360 degree access, with a gated access to the south side and a wooden storage shed blocking access to the northern side.

From the front there is access to a 400 sq. ft double garage predating the house itself and built for The Mythe now fitted with an electric roller door and proving space for two cars; or a single car with a workshop and storage as well as the possibility of creating further mezzanine storage above.

To the rear, the part walled and fully enclosed garden spills out from the house with access from the conservatory, inner hall, dining room and sitting room truly encouraging the inside outside lifestyle.

A deep paved terrace runs directly along the rear elevation of the house, with two oversized sun blinds giving shelter and shade in the warmer summer months. A level lawn, interspersed with pathways runs across the main bulk of the garden, with attractively planted beds beyond giving year round colour and form along with fruit trees, roses, shrubs and herbs, a lovely forsythia and a charming wooden pergola complete with a mature wisteria.
