Usherwood Close

AN IMPRESSIVE AND BEAUTIFULLY APPOINTED DETACHED HOME PROVIDING OVER 2,400 SQ FT OF VERSATILE ACCOMMODATION IN AN EXCLUSIVE PRIVATE CLOSE ON BOX HILL ......................

Otter Lodge is an impressive detached home situated within an exclusive private close, built in the early 1990s. During their ownership, our clients have sympathetically renovated, enhanced and extended the property to an excellent standard, including the addition of an orangery and conversion of the loft, creating exceptionally well-presented and versatile accommodation. The welcoming reception hall provides access to a useful utility room, formed from part of the attached double garage, while an inner hall with engineered oak flooring leads to the triple aspect sitting room with inset wood-burning stove and bi-fold doors opening onto the sun terrace. A particular feature is the superb kitchen/breakfast room and orangery, together forming an impressive space measuring approximately 27’ x 25’ maximum. The kitchen was refitted in 2023 with an extensive range of units, substantial central island and integrated appliances. The orangery, added in 2016, provides a wonderful everyday living and entertaining space overlooking the gardens. New doors and bi-fold doors with electronically operated Venetian blinds were installed in 2024, and the orangery also benefits from twin air-conditioning units. There are three bedrooms on the ground floor, including a double aspect guest bedroom with fitted wardrobes and en-suite shower room. Two further bedrooms, both with fitted wardrobes, are served by a modern family bathroom. The loft was cleverly converted in approximately 2018, with the former fourth bedroom providing staircase access and a useful study area. The first floor is devoted to an excellent principal suite comprising a generously proportioned bedroom with built-in wardrobes and a spacious, luxurious en-suite bathroom with separate shower. The beautifully established gardens are a prime feature, predominantly laid to lawn with mature planting and shrub borders providing excellent privacy and seclusion. A substantial sun terrace adjoins the orangery and sitting room, complemented by further seating areas, a gazebo and raised pond. A detached garden studio provides an ideal home office. To the front, an extensive block-paved driveway provides ample parking and turning and leads to the attached double garage with electric roller door installed in 2023. The property also benefits from solar panels, battery storage and EV charging point. In all, the grounds extend to approximately 0.3 of an acre.
