5 bedroom detached house for sale

A modern and generously proportioned five-bedroom family home in a private setting

Description

Three Penny House was built in the 1990s with a characterful appearance that blends beautifully with the older red brick properties of Fulletby. The detached house has been extended and updated over the years, with plenty of scope for the new owner to further personalise to their own tastes. The setting feels private and is away from main roads, with plenty of space inside and out for family life; the house is currently split between residential and business use, and would be ideal for someone looking to combine work and home life for ease. There is ample parking to the front and attractive gardens which feel very secluded.

The substantial accommodation offers huge potential for a variety of uses, and is generously sized with all five bedrooms double size and large reception rooms on the ground floor. Internally the house is well presented with particular highlights being the entrance hallway, with its extra wide hardwood staircase, and the contemporary kitchen, which was refitted in 2023. Premium design touches can be seen throughout: hardwood windows, solid wood parquet floors and Italian marble and sandstone fireplaces. The reception rooms are arranged off the entrance hall and offer a huge amount of versatility; currently they are arranged as a dining room and separate sitting room, a family room and a large playroom currently used as a children's soft play area. The first-floor accommodation is equally spacious and includes two large en suite bedrooms, three further doubles and a family bathroom.

Accessed through the kitchen or from the driveway the north wing of the property is currently used for home working but could be reconfigured to create and annexe (subject to the necessary consents). The space includes three large storage rooms, a smaller storage area and a cloakroom with WC. In addition there is an attached garage with store. There is also a large room above the north wing which could be used for additional storage or office potential.

Three Penny House is set back from the road behind a large paved driveway, offering ample parking. The lovely gardens are partly walled, wrapping around the sides of the house and providing a restful outside space that's mostly lawned with a number of specimen trees. A terrace provides space for garden furniture, a large greenhouse and a separate decking area for outdoor entertaining.
