Property Description
Killaspy is an intriguing detached residence, built in approximately 1911 to the design of renowned Amersham architect John Kennard with his strong Arts and Crafts influences. As a fine example, Killaspy has a lovely 'living-room hall', a key design feature of the Movement with its original oak panelling, parquet flooring and a cosy inglenook. Lived in by the same family for over sixty years, the house offers an excellent opportunity for those looking to create a wonderful bespoke family home for the 21st century. Entered through the front door into an entrance lobby, there is a coat room and cloakroom to one side. The inner hall doubles as a reception room and has a feature inglenook fireplace with Cortauld stove in an iridescent finish and a door to the rear garden. The main sitting room has triple aspects to the front, rear and side and an open fireplace with tiled surround. A further hall gives access to both the spacious dining room, with two feature glazed bookcases, and the kitchen which in turn has a walk in larder, utility room and workshop area beyond. Upstairs the landing runs the length of the house with a range of storage cupboards along one wall. The master bedroom has a double aspect to both front and rear gardens and a vanity unit. The second double bedroom also has a vanity unit. There are three further double bedrooms, all with views to the front garden. There is a family bathroom with four piece suite, a second bathroom with bath and washbasin and a separate wc.
