Property Description
THE PROPERTY A substantial and highly versatile, detached family home of over 2,500 sq ft, offering four/five bedrooms, generous open-plan living space, wraparound gardens, a swimming pool, garage and extensive gated parking.
Kokanee is an individual detached home with a particularly interesting history. The house occupies a generous plot that was originally intended to provide an access route when the surrounding area was developed in the 1950s. The builder, however, liked the site so much that he retained the land and built his own home here instead. Its distinctive name, Kokanee, comes from the freshwater salmon native to parts of North America, including Montana.
Today, the property provides more than 2,500 sq ft of wonderfully adaptable accommodation arranged over two floors. With bathrooms and bedrooms on both levels, the layout lends itself particularly well to modern family life, whether accommodating a blended or multigenerational household, providing ground-floor bedrooms, or simply creating generous spaces for working from home, hobbies and entertaining.
At the heart of the house is the spacious kitchen/breakfast room, arranged around a large central island with breakfast-bar seating and opening naturally into the adjoining dining room. Together they create a sociable everyday living space with plenty of room for family and friends. Doors from the dining room lead to a separate, enclosed area of garden which works particularly well as a children's play area, while there is also access through to the principal rear garden. A lobby to the rear of the dining room provides access to a modern shower room and into the garage, the rear of which is currently configured as a useful utility room with extra storage cupboards and space for both washing machine and tumble dryer.
The sitting room is another real feature of Kokanee. At more than 23 feet in length, it is an exceptionally generous room, with a woodburning stove providing a focal point for the colder months and doors opening directly onto the garden for summer living.
Further rooms on the ground floor provide considerable flexibility. Alongside the family room are three additional rooms which can be arranged as bedrooms, studies or further reception rooms according to the needs of the household. A ground-floor bathroom and further separate shower room adds to the practicality of this arrangement and makes the house particularly suitable for anyone requiring bedroom and bathroom facilities without needing to use the stairs.
Upstairs are three double bedrooms together with the family bathroom. The combination of substantial ground-floor accommodation and three first-floor bedrooms is one of the property's greatest strengths, allowing the way the house is used to evolve as family requirements change.
Outside, the gardens wrap around the house, creating several distinct areas for relaxation and play. In addition to the enclosed children's garden, the main garden provides space for outdoor entertaining and incorporates a raised swimming pool - a fun focal point during the summer months. To the front, gates open onto a broad gravelled driveway providing parking for several cars, with access to the garage.
