5 bedroom detached house for sale

An opportunity to purchase a 5/6-bedroom, 4 bathroom detached chalet style property which has been sympathetically extended over time to create a deceptively large family home. Secluded grounds of approximately 1 acre (tbv), swimming pool, single garage, double garage and gravel driveway providing off-road parking for 4-6 cars. Situated on the Old Domewood private estate and it is understood the oak in the house came from trees felled in the original build in the 1930s.

Approaching the property there is high hedging ensuring privacy with grassy borders and a brick-edged apron entrance with a 5-bar gate. There is a single garage to the left, a double garage further along and a gravel driveway providing off-road parking for 4-6 cars. There are further trees, shrubs and flowers along the boundaries with access to the rear garden on both sides. To the left there is a picket fence with a gate with an area of grass, flower borders and a pathway of steppingstones to the rear garden. There are impressive wide steps leading to the front door.

Entering the property, the solid oak door is believed to be the original door from the build in the 1930s. It opens into a spacious hall with a large bedroom with ensuite bathroom to the right, and, to the left, the family/playroom/bedroom 5 and beyond that the office/study/bedroom 6. Moving along the spacious hallway there is a downstairs shower room/WC on the right. Ahead is the spacious dining room with the L-shaped kitchen/breakfast room and utility room adjacent with the lounge beyond and to the left. These rooms all have double doors opening onto the patio in the rear garden. The L-shaped kitchen/breakfast room has the wow factor given its generous proportions. There is a run of three full height cupboards to the left and, to the right, further cupboards, a wine rack, a tiled work surface and dresser style shelving. There is a further run of solid wood wall and base units ahead together with four windows to the side of the house. There is a one and a half bowl sink and drainer with a lighting unit above and integrated items include a 5-ring induction hob, a double oven and two under the counter fridges. There is space and plumbing for a dishwasher with additional appliances in the utility room. Again, this is a spacious room with a large window and a door to the side giving access to the garden. There is a sink and drainer, further wall and base units together with space and plumbing for a washing machine, a second dishwasher and a fridge/freezer. In both rooms there is attractive exposed brickwork. The breakfast area can accommodate a table and approximately 8-10 chairs. Double doors with full-height windows on each side open onto the large patio in the rear garden. The dining room is adjacent and, if preferred, these rooms could easily be re-configured to create an impressive open-plan space. The dining area has plenty of space for a dining table with 10-12 dining chairs. There is a large inglenook fireplace with an open fire which could easily be reconfigured with a large word burner. It has feature brickwork, a high wooden mantelpiece and a quarry tiled hearth. The extremely spacious lounge spreads out over two levels. The upper seating area has sliding doors opening onto the patio giving access to the rear garden and pool. The lower level seating area is dual aspect and has an open fire again with feature brickwork, and a quarry tiled hearth. Returning to the front of the property, bedroom 4 is a spacious double with large windows and three double built-in wardrobes and an ensuite bathroom. This has white ceramic floor tiles and full height wall tiles with feature inset tiles. There is a turquoise suite comprising a bath with shower above, a wash hand basin and WC. The family/playroom/bedroom 5 is dual aspect with windows to the front and side. Adjacent to this is the office/study/bedroom 6 which has a window to the side. It has a run of both cupboards and shelving along two walls making it ideal for those working from home. There is a downstairs shower room with a delightful mural and the wash hand basin has a tiled surround, triple cupboards below with further cupboards above and to the side together with a WC and a shower cubicle. The accommodation is extremely flexible to suit individual requirements. In particular, it is appropriate for an older relative or a teenager seeking independence whilst still in close proximity to the rest of the family. There is useful storage throughout the property with a large understairs cupboard with a double coat cupboard alongside in the hall together with excellent eaves storage in all the upstairs bedrooms.

Moving upstairs there is a good-sized landing with the family bathroom to the right and a short corridor to the left leads to bedrooms 2 and 3. Ahead and to the right is a corridor leading to the master bedroom and ensuite bathroom. The master bedroom is both spacious and characterful with beams, two double built-in wardrobes and extensive eaves storage. It is dual aspect with a window to the side and a large window overlooking the rear garden.
