5 bedroom detached house for sale

The owner of this extremely well appointed family home has taken great care to enhance the period features of this home, whilst still having all of the modern upgrades you would expect.

On entering the property through the porch, you are met with the first of four reception rooms; open plan lounge and snug with inglenook inset woodburning stove. The Dining Room and Television room each with their own inglenook fireplaces open off this. The kitchen and pantry are extremely well finished, bespoke for this home to include granite worktops. In addition, there is a large utility room and downstairs cloakroom too.

Upstairs, the the beams and period features continue, through the huge landing that leads you to the good sized family bathroom and the spacious master bedroom suite (which includes a luxury shower room with bespoke cupboards and granite worktop). The stunning floor to ceiling window with remote control electric blind in the master bedroom, provides an amazing view over the private landscaped gardens and fields beyond. There are four more double bedrooms, one with en-suite shower and one that is currently being used as a dressing room. There are a number of spacious airing and storage cupboards on the landing and inner hallway.

As you move  through the patio doors, you step into the outside dining and entertaining areas, you will find that there is more than ample flexible space for you to utilise however you wish.. With remote control feature lighting illuminating the cabin, trees and flower beds, this really is a wonderful outside space to spend time relaxing and entertaining day or evening – any time of year!

Stepping up to the landscaped gardens, a path leads you to the custom made timber Cabin with Veranda, which gives a beautiful view over the grounds. The Cabin is currently used as a gym and sauna with full power and light, but could easily be used as a home office, artist studio or home cinema.

The garden stretches out from here with a number of seating areas, one with a brick firepit, a fenced vegetable plot and raised beds, fruit trees and a play area with swings and rope ladders. Further down there is a polytunnel wildlife garden and at the bottom – a small wooded area. The gardens could be used as a smallholding (subject to relevant planning consents) as they have been in the past.
