5 bedroom detached house

Maple Bank is a beautifully presented detached family home that features more than 4000 sq. ft of very spacious and well proportioned living accommodation, including five bedrooms and a number of flexible and impressively large reception rooms, with parquet flooring and elegant features the current owners have introduced during their ownership.

The main reception room is the 28ft drawing room, with a fireplace with a wood burning stove and French doors opening to the southfacing rear garden. There is also a sizeable family room linked to the kitchen via glass double doors. Finally there is a study and a more formal dining room for when entertaining. The 545 sq ft open-plan kitchen/breakfast room is the highly impressive heart of this home, with a stone tiled floor, French doors to the garden and stylish Neptune units with granite worktops. There is plenty of storage, a central island with a breakfast bar with seating providing views out to the garden, a double butler sink and an Aga. In addition there is further space for a breakfast table and family seating area. Off the kitchen is a spacious utility and boot room with matching Neptune units, an additional butler sink, room for white goods and an external stable door.

Upstairs, the well-proportioned double bedrooms include a spacious principal bedroom with a cleverly designed dressing room, complete with dual doors, an en suite shower room and doors opening onto a balcony overlooking the rear garden and onto adjoining fields. Two further bedrooms share an en-suite with a "Jack & Jill" set-up in addition to a family bathroom with a roll top bathtub and a separate shower unit serving the remaining two bedrooms.

At the front of the property, the gravel driveway provides plenty of parking space and access to the integrated double garage with attractive wooden cladding and barn doors. There is also a front garden laid to lawn, with borders of established shrubs and mature trees. At the rear, the south-facing garden welcomes plenty of sunlight throughout the day and includes an area of paved terracing and a lawn, backing onto open fields, which only a handful of the houses on the road enjoy and give the impression of being more rural. The borders are well established creating a good degree of privacy. In addition to a timber shed and a bespoke breeze hut gazebo is positioned to enjoy the scenic views, taking into the special summer sunsets. Finally a former brick & tiled pool house exists with power, shower room, w/c and sink which has potential for further developing, whether a garden office, studio or consulting, treatment room. A footpath runs from nearby the front of the house leading directly to the station.
