6 bedroom detached house for sale

Our Seller Says:

"We moved here because of its rural feel yet close to everywhere. Our favourite room is the kitchen because it's our social room, and the views from the bedroom and the back of the home will definitely be missed."

The property is approached by a sweeping driveway accessed via a private electric gate, providing extensive car parking and a large timber carport to the front. 

Starting with the main residence, you are greeted by a lofty reception hall that introduces the touch of luxury found throughout, in the bespoke suspended staircase to the solid oak doors and high-end flooring.

The sitting room is complemented by soft, neutral hues and sumptuous carpeting, inviting the family to gather round the feature wood burning stove and catch up on everyone's day.
