5 bedroom detached house for sale

The Gables is a substantial detached family home with sprawling, flexible accommodation arranged across two light filled floors. The property offers stylishly appointed accommodation and the potential for use as a main house with a one-bedroom annexe, depending on requirements.

The ground floor has three well-presented reception rooms, including the sitting room with its woodburning stove and double doors leading to the conservatory at the rear. The conservatory is a light and airy space in which to relax or entertain, with panoramic windows and skylights overhead, as well as French doors opening onto the rear garden and the added bonus of a large log burner. The third reception room is the drawing room, which could be used as part of the main house or as annexe accommodation. There is a well-equipped kitchen and breakfast room, with white fitted storage units to base and wall level, a breakfast bar and integrated appliances, while the utility room provides further space for home storage and appliances.

There is one double bedroom on the ground floor, which adjoins the drawing room and includes access to a shower room and the pantry, which could act as a kitchen for the annexe. This space is separate from the main house but could be integrated if desired. The first floor has three generous double bedrooms and a study, which could be used as a further bedroom if preferred. The large principal bedroom has an en suite bathroom, while the first floor also has a family shower room.

At the front of the property, the gravel driveway provides plenty of parking space and access to the extensive garaging and workshop space. The outbuildings provide plenty of storage, but they also offer the potential for conversion into further accommodation, subject to the necessary consents. The front garden has a small area of lawn and various mature trees, while at the rear there are extensive patio areas, a lawn and border beds. There is also a shed, a greenhouse and a chicken coop. This property also benefits from 16 solar pannels.
