5 bedroom detached house for sale

An immaculate character detached family house, well located for the village.

Description

Originally a lodge house to The Hollands country house estate, now extended, including recently by our selling clients, this is now an unlisted and well designed five bedroom detached character house, well placed for the village and offered for sale in immaculate condition with beautiful laid out and planted gardens, with an aspect bordering parkland.

Inside, highlights include the well proportioned sitting room with its exposed brick chimney, fitted with a wood burning stove and polished wooden flooring believed to be maple, a bay window with window seat nicely set overlooking the rear garden and French doors opening to the rear terrace. The house also has a stunning modern kitchen/dining space, with a roof lantern and bi-folding doors along one wall in the dining space, leading out onto a generous garden terrace. Appliances include a Rangemaster stove with an induction hob, a built in Neff microwave, an integrated Bosch dishwasher, a recessed Samsung plumbed in fridge freezer and a John Lewis wine fridge.

The stairs and galleried landing lead up to five bedrooms, with two shower rooms, one en-suite, as well as a family bathroom. The property benefits from double glazing throughout, except one small window.

Outside, there is parking in front of the substantial barn style garage which has two open bays and a lockable third bay for storage, incorporating stairs up to the extensive roof space with further storage (and potential for some form of ancillary accommodation, subject to the usual required legal planning permissions and consents).

The lawned rear garden is a delight, gently sloping away from the house and benefitting from a south westerly aspect onto neighbouring parkland. This has been beautifully planted with a variety of shrubs, flowers, plants and trees, featuring terracing around the house, a split level pond, areas of longer grass and a discreet vegetable garden with fruit trees and a greenhouse. There is mature hedging to the lane and deer fencing to the parkland.
