3 Tall Trees Close, Hartford, CW8 4YA

For well-connected living in the heart of Hartford, peace, tranquility and proximity to bars, restaurants, transport links and excellent schooling can all be found at Tall Trees. Nestled at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac, along a large, private driveway bordered by high fencing and tall trees, parking is plentiful, with space for eight or nine cars in total.

Peaceful haven

Private and not at all overlooked in the summer months, Tall Trees, with its versatile rooms and large garden brimming with mature planting, is an entertaining haven inside and out. A handsome home, upgraded with new double-glazed windows, and with a new orangery extension, there is also a large, newly built double garage.

Make your way indoors, into the airy entrance hallway, which runs left to right. Newly fitted luxury vinyl concrete tiles in light oak are sturdy under foot and tall windows either side of the front door invite an abundance of light throughout. Opening up to the left is a welcoming lobby, where handsome fitted storage is perfect for guests’ coats and shoes. Laura Ashley décor, timelessly classic, sets the motif for the inviting rooms found throughout Tall Trees. Turn to the right and there is a newly refurbished downstairs cloakroom with back to wall toilet, quartz vanity shelf, gold radiator and accessories, decorated in William Morris ‘The Strawberry Thief’

Light-filled living

Continue along the oak tiled flooring and head into the music room, a peaceful room decorated in neutral shades that could also easily serve as an office, a snug for teenagers or a playroom, and which opens, via a glazed door, to the orangery. Porcelain tiles in sage grey gleam underfoot, beneath light that flows in through the roof lantern above as well as through surrounding windows and French doors, dressed in Laura Ashley blinds and curtains. With comfortable seating for eight, this sunny room retains a constant connection with the outdoors whatever the weather.

OWNER QUOTE: “We never close the blinds, it’s so private.”

Double doors connect the orangery through to the dining room, where the oak tiled floors continue with elegant Laura Ashley wallpaper and attractive cornicing ideal for hosting dinner parties. Follow the flow back through to the entrance hall, turning left into the kitchen. The oak floors continue into the kitchen giving a timeless flow to the property and a cohesive modern look throughout.

OWNER QUOTE: “It’s a very sociable home, great for entertaining.”

Sociable hub

The kitchen makes a statement with its ultra modern high gloss design complemented by gold trim, gold spotlights and gold Quoker tap. The back splash runs the length of the cabinets on both sides of the room and is finished in a light colour glass mosaic tile so as not to detract from the multi colour lighting beneath the cabinetry. Lighting is an important part of the overall look and feel to the kitchen whether it is task lighting or disco lighting this kitchen has it all.

Furnished with a gas hob and extractor fan, Quartz white and gold veined worktops offer ample preparation space.

Next door, a recently fitted stylish and contemporary bathroom features a large P-shaped bath with overhead shower, wash basin with under cabinet storage, WC, heated towel rail and elegant tiling, with a vanity shelf for toiletries and essentials. Continue along the landing and take a series of steps up to the third bedroom, set beneath a gently sloped ceiling, with a mirror image fourth bedroom next door – both large enough for double beds and ideal for children, set a distance from the main bedrooms on their own split level, affording a sense of separation and independence – overlooking the driveway and garden to the front.

Entertaining al fresco

Outside, the hard landscaped garden to the rear of Tall Trees is set over two levels, with a large patio running around the home and to the side of the orangery, ideal for alfresco dining. Electric lighting provides attractive illumination to the colourful trees and bushes for a handsome backdrop on summer evenings. Listen to live music beneath the verandah and share a glass of fizz with friends in the log cabin. Both verandah and cabin are fantastic additions to the garden, ensuring all-season use even when the evenings get cooler and the nights draw in, served by power and light thus allowing for the enjoyment of the areas late into the evening. The large, manicured lawn has been carefully maintained, weeded and fed throughout the year. Bathed in sunlight throughout the summer months, there are plenty of spots in which to sunbathe. Colour bursts forth from April onwards, as tulips, daffodils and broom pave the way for peonies, camelias, hydrangeas and rhododendrons.
