" This is a substantial, recently renovated and extended, detached residence offers 6 bedrooms, 2 reception rooms, 4 bathrooms, garden, private off-street parking and contemporary d?cor. Added bonuses are a lift from the garage direct to the kitchen and options for self-contained accommodation.

A gated frontage offers security and space for several cars, as well as access to the garage with remote control door and ample storeroom. Beyond the gates this striking family home has a wide staircase leading up to the front door with large glazed panels above. These panels allow light to pour in, illuminating the triple-height entrance hall which houses an inspired, suspended glazed staircase and galleried corridors leading to the upper floors. At the rear is a capacious living room and dining area opening out onto a conservatory which leads to the garden on one side and on the other to a fantastic enclosed 12-person Jacuzzi area, fully tiled steam room and shower room, offering scope for family fun whatever the weather. The kitchen is at the front of the house and features Corian worktops, tiled floor, breakfast area, integrated appliances, storage and of course, the marvellous lift. The ground floor further offers a fully fitted office, bedroom with en-suite shower and fitted wardrobes, WC and further bedroom currently used as a play-room. This has double doors out and retractable electric awning over, offering shade on sunny days. Finally on this floor a spiral staircase leads down to the forecourt level and a good size room with its own front door, en-suite shower-room and store cupboard, ideal as a separate work area or annexe.

On the first floor are three almost identically sized bedrooms all overlooking the garden, one with own en-suite shower and a further family bathroom with bath and separate shower. There is also a superb master suite with dressing area and en-suite double shower, with the added luxury of a balcony running along the rear of the house. The second floor is currently a gym but could work well as a studio or enormous master bedroom.

Throughout the ground floor and in the master bedroom there is underfloor heating. The recent construction affords fantastic eco-credentials and the house feels light, airy and spacious, whilst also feeling like a true family home and offering scope for different family configurations. 49 Hill Drive is a real gem!

Situation
With access both in and out of town by car or bus via Dyke Road less than a quarter of a mile away, the Downs under a mile away and the amenities, shops, caf?'s and restaurants at Seven Dials just over two miles away this lovely home is well connected to anything a modern family might need. Even Preston Park train station with its direct mainline links to London (Victoria and London Bridge) is only just over a mile away.

Outside
The garden is almost entirely un-overlooked and there is a good sweep of lawn beyond the paved terrace by the house which leads to a barbeque and seating area. Beyond this is an amazing kids play area with wooden tree-house, climbing frames, rope swings and sunken trampoline to keep children entertained for hours. "
