Sarah Kenny’s Property of the Week – Oliver Mews House

Located down a quiet backwater, a stone’s throw from the Downs, lies this seemingly modest stone building that would easily go unnoticed unless given a second glance; but believe me, when you get behind the front door a beautiful property awaits. This hidden gem was once a coach house for a large Victorian residence on Ivywell road, but has now been transformed into a stunning high spec home.
Upon opening the front door you immediately feel as though you are entering a tardis (although I am no Dr Who!). The bright, neutrally decorated entrance hall has several doors leading off it, as well as a sweeping staircase, which immediately sparks your curiosity! 

The master bedroom, complete with en suite and steam room is located on the ground floor as well a further double bedroom and a family bathroom. Also on the ground floor is access to the integral double garage/utility room and a cloakroom.
Moving upstairs you arrive on a spacious and bright landing which is so large that it could easily double up as an office space. To the left hand side of the landing are two substantially sized double bedrooms, one of which overlooks the private roof terrace. The outdoor decked roof terrace is the centrepiece of the top floor and is accessible on three sides via wooden framed, glass double doors. In the summertime there is no doubt that this outdoor area would feature as an additional reception room, it is quiet and benefits from not being overlooked. 


One the other side of the landing lies the open plan kitchen and living area. The contemporary, high gloss kitchen units only enhance the feeling of light and space. There are plenty of cupboards for even keenest of cooks house their wares, as well as all necessary white goods including fridge/freezer, oven, hob and dishwasher.
The dining area flows off the kitchen, and leads you down to living area at the opposite end of the room. This large living space boasts of real wood flooring and wooden beams which reflects building former life as a coach house.
 All in all this beautiful yet unusual property is a rare and special find. It’s quiet location combined with its spacious quality and attention to detail makes it the perfect hassle free home, suitable for a family or professional couple alike.
