**Accommodation**
The front door leads to a lobby area with a ground floor shower room off then into an inner hallway opening into the impressive reception hall with a panelled staircase and a door out onto the garden. At this point you realise that this is a little different to the property that you might expect from its unassuming facade! Off this generous space is a large sitting room with feature open fireplace, a family room enjoying a double aspect, a dining room with a further feature fireplace (not in use) which in turn leads to a conservatory overlooking the gardens, a study or snug with extensive fitted book shelves, a fitted kitchen with double aspect and ample space for a table and finally a utility room with gas fired boiler for the central heating and hot water and with a door to the garden.
On the first floor the master bedroom has a double aspect with extensive fitted storage and a dressing area and en suite shower room, second bedroom with fitted storage and wash hand basin, bedroom three with a dressing room or study off and a fourth bedroom with access to under eaves storage.
Opposite the main house is The Lodge. Converted from a former garage this offers a large open plan ground floor with double aspect living area with a log burner and understairs cupboard housing a gas fired boiler for the radiators and hot water of the annexe. To the rear steps lead down into a kitchen with integrated fridge freezer, dishwasher and washing machine. There are french doors out onto an area of south-facing garden allocated to the Lodge. On the first floor there are two double bedrooms, a single bedroom or study/dressing area and a family bathroom. Please note that the Lodge is ancillary accommodation to Foxcroft and is for the use of family and friends rather than letting.
**Outside**
To the front of the property a gravelled driveway gives access to Foxcroft and the annexe and provides parking for a number of cars. There is a lawned area to the front of the main house with a pond. To the side and rear there are generous gardens mainly lawned garden which enjoy a southerly aspect. The majority of the neighbouring properties are bungalows which help to maintain a good degree of privacy for the grounds of the property. The annexe has its own dedicated area of garden which is also south-facing. Set in a plot of c.0.5 acres.

**Identity Verification**
To ensure full compliance with current legal requirements, all buyers are required to verify their identity and risk status in line with anti-money laundering (AML) regulations before we can formally proceed with the sale. This process includes a series of checks covering identity verification, politically exposed person (PEP) screening, and AML risk assessment for each individual named as a purchaser. In addition, for best practice, we are required to obtain proof of funds and where necessary, to carry out checks on the source of funds being used for the purchase. These checks are mandatory and must be completed regardless of whether the purchase is mortgage-funded, cash, or part of a related transaction. A disbursement of £49 per individual (or £75 per director for limited company purchases) is payable to cover all aspects of this compliance process. This fee represents the full cost of conducting the required checks and verifications. You will receive a secure payment link and full instructions directly from our compliance partner, Guild365, who carry out these checks on our behalf.
