6 bedroom detached house for sale

An individual stone house with versatile accommodation, guest annex, garaging and attractive garden with wonderful rural views

Willowbrook Cottage is a modern, detached house built in the 1980s and subsequently extended and updated by the current owners to create fabulous family home with a great degree of versatility. The house sits well on its plot and has been designed for the principal rooms to have access to the garden and enjoy views of the countryside beyond. The addition of an annex above the double garage, added to the versatility of the property, affording the option of working from home or increasing space for guests or a growing family.

The front door opens to the hall. The former living room currently serves as a great dining room and has an oak floor and doors opening to the garden. Adjacent to the kitchen is family room, creating a sociable hub to the home. The kitchen itself is superbly fitted with a range of wall and base units with Corian worksurface and breakfast bar. Integrated appliances include electric ovens and an induction hob with extractor above. The dishwasher and the fridge freezer are also included. Glazed doors open to the garden. The utility room has space for the usual appliances.

The living room is superb. It also has an oak floor, and a wood burning stove is set into the chimney at the far end. The bi-fold doors span one wall and open to the garden, almost extending the accommodation on a fine day. The views are superb.

There are two sets of stairs to the first floor. The principal bedroom is reached via stairs from the living room. The bedroom has a fabulous view from the Juliet balcony. To one end is a dressing room and to the other an ensuite shower room / WC. The main stairs are from the hall and they lead to the landing which serves the remaining bedrooms and the well-appointed family bathroom. Two of the bedrooms are interlinked, as a bedroom and dressing room. It would be easy to split this totally, or remove the wall between them to make one larger bedroom. The guest bedroom has a dressing room and ensuite shower room / WC. A door between the two dressing rooms creates a connection between the main part of the house and the principal bedroom.

Outside, above the stone-built double garage, is a lovely double bedroom with ensuite shower room / WC. There are good views, and this attractive room could make a studio or home office.

The gated and gravelled drive sweeps in from the roadside and provides ample parking. The gardens at Willowbrook are delightful. A path leads from the parking area, past a small lawn to a terrace and parterre with box hedging and a number of striking Cypress trees, creating a mediterranean feel to this area of garden. Beyond, the main lawn offers space for children to play. There are views over the fields.
