6 bedroom detached house for sale

QUOTE GH0600

A  two toned quarry tiled floor greets you in the RECEPTION HALL . This distinctive touch complements the decorative architraves and skirting to imbue the space with classic quality. Underneath the  stairs is a ground floor cloakroom with WC and wash hand basin. 

On the left hand side we step into the SITTING ROOM; a bright and airy space that could easily become either a formal space for guests, or your relaxing family room. Double french doors with windows either side provide a picture perfect framed view of the garden and access outside. There is a secondary glazed sash window to the front, stripped wooden floorboards, and double radiators. Aside from the doors, your attention is drawn to the  feature fire surround, with tiled hearth and inset open fire with grate. 

On the right hand side from the hallway, the spacious DINING ROOM has a feature open fire and raised tiled hearth, a secondary glazed sash window to the front, and  stripped wooden floorboards. At present, there is  a table for six in the centre of the room but it could easily accommodate further seating or be adapted to an alternative family space to take advantage of the double doors leading to the conservatory.

Not many homes have a CONSERVATORY like this one - double height at its apex where a fan hangs to keep you cooler in the summer sun and aided by the two tone tiling under foot. Refurbished in 2020, it is a perfect space to curate your warm weather plant collection or develop a bright and airy space to enjoy.  There are double doors to the outside, as well as double glazed doors to the library and a door to the  utility room/kitchen.

The rear LIBRARY is a serene hideaway with integral bookcases surrounding two walls and currently has a large desk by the two windows that face out to the garden.  Aiding the cosy feel is the inset gas fire surround and the wood flooring. 

Entering the UTILITY ROOM which has a tiled floor, a roll top work surface plumbing for washing machine and tumble dryer, bass and eye level storage units and further storage. Over the years this has become the main entrance for my clients and their family and friends.

You then enter the KITCHEN which has the potential to be a standout feature of this property in the centre of the home. As well as access to the conservatory, utility room and to the outside carport, it has a range of base and eye level storage units, ample roll tip worksurfaces, a peninsula workstation with two inset one and a half sink drainers, a recessed range cooker with extractor hood over and ample space for additional appliances. 

Another door leads from the kitchen to the SNUG, with stripped wooden floorboards and a sash window to the front. This has previously been used as a breakfast/dining room and you also have a door to a secondary entrance hallway and a downstairs cloakroom with WC and wash hand basin. From here there is a door to the covered carport at the rear. This is also the location of a second stairway that rises to the galleried landing with the primary staircase at the opposite end.

At the top of the stairs, the galleried landing presents you with a charming sitting area that offers views  over the churchyard.  There is then a connecting corridor along the upstairs with a door half way down allowing for a simple way to divide the property if you were considering adapting it to an annexe, or areas for multi-generational living.  

At this end we have BEDROOM THREE (which is currently used as a sitting room with dual aspect to the front and rear) and BEDROOM FIVE with a front facing window. 

The “main” bedroom on this side is BEDROOM TWO that boasts a double  closet, a further single closet providing plenty of storage space without the need for extra wardrobes. There is also an ornate fire surround, a picture rail and sash window to the front.

Before the connecting door, we have the simple but elegant FAMILY BATHROOM, which has an iron bath with claw feet, a low level flush wc, and vanity wash hand basin with a cupboard beneath. In addition there is also a walk-in double  shower cubicle with tiled surround. There is a frosted sash window to the rear.

Through the connecting door we can turn right to the rear of the home where there is a separate WC and a SHOWER ROOM with wash hand basin and a sash window to the rear. 

Next to this is BEDROOM 6 with a secondary glazed window to the rear providing views over the fields. This room has a storage closet, which  has the Valiant boiler (fitted 2013) providing domestic hot water and heating, and an airing cupboard. 

Back to the main landing and BEDROOM FOUR has a sash window to the front and again boasts a double storage closet and a single closet. 

The PRINCIPAL BEDROOM could almost be its own suite with two double storage closets and space for seating and an ottoman underneath the large sash window to the front.  Extra light is provided by a sash further window with views of the garden and fields beyond.

OUTSIDE

If the inside seems to offer up secret rooms and surprises, the outside more than matches it for standout features. 

The large undercover CARPORT could conceivably be an extra patio terrace or be adapted as a second garden if this side of the house were to be used as an annexe or alternative living for multi-generational purposes.  This is also where you will find the GARAGE that has an up and over door to the front, a side entrance and side window.

On this side you will also find the large WORKSHOP/STUDY that has its own entrance and cloakroom with toilet and handbasin. This makes it ideal for working from home and is independent from the rest of the house.

The REAR GARDEN is like a secret retreat with different levels including a terrace, and a lower lawn with a shed in the far corner.

VIEWING ARRANGEMENTS:

By appointment only.  Call or text during or after office hours and QUOTE GH0600

REMOTE VIEWING TOUR:

Traditional property viewings are still vital when it comes to finding the right house. However, making these arrangements can be tricky and complicated, juggling work and home life commitments, or simply finding enough time if moving into a new area and traveling some distance.

Booking a Remote Viewing Tour puts YOU firmly in control. Arrange a day and time that is convenient for you to “look around” and I will arrange for my client to go out and then be at the property at the appointed time to walk you around the house using WhatsApp or Facetime. The Viewing Tour can be as quick or as long as you like, making sure you have a good look round, focussing on the rooms that are important to you. This will hopefully help you decide to arrange a normal viewing at a later date or after office hours.  

HAVE YOU GOT A HOUSE TO SELL:

If you are thinking of moving and have yet to put your house on the market, or if you are on with another estate agent and have yet to find a buyer, I would welcome the opportunity of sharing my 30 years of estate agency experience with you. Please call me and  QUOTE GH0600 for a free, confidential valuation and marketing review with no obligation.
