A Truly Remarkable Family Home with Endless Possibilities: Spacious, Versatile, and Full of Character
Nestled in a popular location and setting, this deceptively spacious and highly versatile detached family home offers an impressive 5,000 sq.ft. of living space. With south-facing rear gardens and no onward chain, this property is an incredible opportunity for anyone seeking both comfort and potential in equal measure.
Having been in the ownership of the current owners for an extraordinary 50 years, this home has evolved over time.
Originally built as a bungalow, it was significantly enlarged and rebuilt in the 1990s to create a sprawling family home. What makes this property particularly special is the way it manages to maintain a modest exterior while offering vast internal proportions. The scale of the home will come as a delightful surprise upon entering, and the sellers are even open to discussing the inclusion of some furniture to help make this place feel like home from day one.
Virtually every room in this house is built with space in mind. The lounge is nothing short of spectacular-one of the largest we've encountered in over 20 years of estate agency experience. With a commanding inglenook fire surround, doors opening out to the rear garden, and double doors leading to the adjoining dining room, this space is perfect for both intimate family gatherings and grand-scale entertaining. A welcoming reception hallway and guest WC add to the appeal.
The breakfast kitchen is spacious and functional, offering a full range of base, drawer, and wall-mounted units. An adjoining breakfast room or snug is ideal for casual meals or keeping an eye on the children doing homework. A utility room rounds out the practical aspects of this part of the home.
On the ground floor, there is no shortage of living spaces. A study, family room, and a large 'P' shaped conservatory all provide fantastic views over the south-facing rear garden, making this house a dream for those who love to entertain or simply relax in style.
Upstairs, the expansive landing area is another testament to the size of this home. So large, in fact, that it could have been easily converted into a fifth bedroom, with the family bathroom forming an ensuite. Each of the four bedrooms is generously proportioned, offering a level of luxury often reserved for principal suites in homes at this price point.
The seller fondly recalls, "We loved the entertaining spaces; it was wonderful to host events where guests could mingle on both the ground and first floors. The galleried landing with its mahogany balustrade always created a wonderful atmosphere. The festive periods were always the best, with the inevitable debate over where the Christmas tree would look best."
Each bedroom has its own ensuite facilities, ensuring privacy and comfort for all family members. The principal bedroom boasts an abundance of built-in wardrobes, views over the garden, adjoining woods, and golf course, as well as access to a bathroom ensuite with a separate shower. Bedroom 2, accessed through a small lobby entrance, offers a walk-in dressing room or nursery, along with its own ensuite shower room. Bedroom 3 also enjoys an entrance lobby, ensuite shower, and built-in bedroom furniture, while Bedroom 4-spacious enough for three single beds-has been a favourite for grandchildren to stay over and also offers an ensuite shower.
The property also features an extensive boarded loft space with a ladder and light, offering ample storage or the possibility for further development. The integral double garage provides additional space for vehicles or storage, while the on/off driveway adds convenience. The rear garden benefits from useful storage sheds, and side access to both sides of the property makes it easy to move around.
In every corner of this home, you'll find evidence of a property that has been loved, thoughtfully designed, and continuously adapted to the needs of a growing family. With its remarkable space, versatile layout, and outstanding potential, this family home offers not just a place to live but a place to grow, entertain, and create lasting memories.
