5 bedroom detached house for sale

Well Farm House is a distinctive and extraordinary residence, built around 1990 on the historic site of the former Tetney Water Gardens on Church Lane. This deceptively spacious property, designed with its main elevation facing south to overlook its stunning gardens, is set on approximately 0.59 acres (subject to survey) and is a must-see to fully appreciate its offerings. It is a substantial detached family home that also features a separate annex, perfect for independent living. 

The property provides over 2800 square feet of well-appointed accommodation, showcasing oak internal doors and benefiting from gas central heating and uPVC double glazing throughout. One of the key highlights is the grand dining hallway, an impressive and spacious area with solid oak wood flooring and an elegant balustrade and spindle dogleg staircase leading to the first floor. The focal point of this space is the inglenook fireplace, set within a deep recess and featuring a living flame gas fire with an ornate overmantel, heavy timber mantel, tiled hearth, and recessed ceiling lights. The uPVC double glazed windows offer views of the rear garden and driveway. Solid oak double doors open into the Games Room, which boasts a striking marble sculptured fireplace housing a living flame gas fire with a granite inlay and hearth. This room, ideal for entertaining, features uPVC French doors leading to the sun terrace and garden, as well as a media wall with inset lighting and sound system. 

A beautifully extended Sun Room, with decorative beams and a part-vaulted ceiling, offers a relaxing space with views of the fabulous gardens. Part of the room is fitted with underfloor heating, complementing the stone-finished fire surround housing a living flame-style gas fire. uPVC French doors provide access to the garden. Adjacent is the bespoke luxury Breakfast Kitchen, fitted with a range of ivory fronted base and wall units with solid oak panelling and beams, and a central island with additional cupboard space. The kitchen features solid black granite worktops, a cut-away sink unit, a beautiful oak fireplace-style recess with a tiled inlay, a range-style double oven with plate storage, and a large overhead extractor fan. Built-in appliances include a large pull-out larder cupboard, an integrated dishwasher, and space for a large American-style fridge freezer. The ceramic stone tiled floor with underfloor heating adds to the kitchen's appeal. Completing the ground floor are a Boiler Room, Cloakroom, Shower Room, and an Entrance Lobby that opens directly to the driveway, commonly used as the main access to the property. A Utility Room, leading off the Breakfast Kitchen, provides additional space for appliances. 

The first floor's crowning jewel is the Master Bedroom, over 26 feet in length, furnished with an excellent range of wardrobes and drawers. A door connects to the en-suite Bathroom, which is equipped with a classic white suite, including a semi-freestanding bath on chrome feet with telephone-style taps, a separate shower enclosure, and underfloor heating with an individual thermostat. Positioned to enjoy the best of the southerly views, the Master Bedroom is complemented by three additional Bedrooms (two with lovely fitted wardrobes) and a recently refurbished, stylish Family Bathroom. The Family Bathroom features a jacuzzi bath, walk-in shower, circular wash hand basin set upon a vanity unit with storage drawers and cupboards, and a WC. This room is fully tiled with stunning grey marble tiles and also has underfloor heating with an individual thermostat. 

Approached via a shared private driveway leading through double wrought iron gates to a large driveway, providing parking space for up to six vehicles and access to the substantial Double Garage with twin electric roller doors. One half of the garage is plastered and carpeted, making it an ideal home office. An internal staircase leads to the first-floor annex, featuring an open-plan living/dining area and kitchen, along with a bedroom and shower room.  The best view of the property is from the rear, where one can fully experience the unique and stunning water garden. A wide paved sun terrace spans the property's full length, providing ideal areas for dining and entertaining while overlooking shaped lawns, various ponds stocked with fish ideal for private fishing, water features, small bridges, and pathways. Mature trees, including willows, enhance the scenery, resembling a small park, while further mature trees and hedging create a perfect setting. A gate within the garden also provides direct access to the Tetney Blow Wells Nature Reserve. 

Overall, Well Farm House is a magnificent home that combines impeccable quality and style with some of the finest gardens imaginable.
