5 bedroom detached house for sale

Impressive house in elevated position with views.

Description

A striking, extended house which provides very light, well proportioned and flexible accommodation over three floors. The emphasis is on space, with the rooms flowing well from one to the other. The centrepiece is the large sitting room, with full height windows and bi-fold doors providing exceptional natural light, as well as opening to the south facing terrace, ideal for al fresco dining, and with views across the garden. From the porch and inner front door, steps lead up to the open plan reception/dining hall, which leads into the contemporary kitchen, and there is a separate utility room with access to the front garden.

The principal bedroom suite is on the first floor, with dressing area, en suite bathroom and Juliette balconies overlooking the garden. There are four further bedrooms, three with en suites, and a family bathroom.
The lower ground floor has access to the garage and has a playroom, suitable for a home office, also with its own external door.

The gardens lie mainly to the south of the property. The grounds were formerly the orchard of Studley Priory and, as such, contain a number of fruit trees, including apple, cherry, plum and damson. The gardens are laid mainly to lawn and have far reaching views.
