5 bedroom detached house for sale

VIEW THE PROPERTY FILM NOW! Engendering an enviable work/life balance, Blackberry House sits encompassed by breathtakingly idyllic gated grounds and gardens that proffer a sublime retreat from the world outside. Sitting discreetly back from a coveted tree-lined road it has a tremendous measure of privacy and seclusion.

With a wealth of Wisteria clambering elegantly across a double fronted facade, the property’s canopied doorway entices you into a central entrance hall that gives an instant glimpse of the accommodation’s fluidity. A succession of reception rooms unfold around you offering a superior choice of spaces in which to relax, entertain and spend time together. Generating a hugely cohesive feel, the rich tones of a solid wood floor flow into the exceptional drawing and dining rooms. Filled with garden vistas from the sweeping curve of its bay windows, the spacious triple aspect drawing room has a refined working fireplace. Whilst the adjacent double aspect dining room is equally suited for large scale entertaining and day to day life, wide French doors in each room tempt you out onto wrap-around terracing.

However, in contrast to this soft pared-back aesthetic it will undoubtedly be the strikingly magnificent sitting room that will ultimately capture and hold your attention. Further south-west facing bay windows allow natural light to tumble into a alluring space colour drenched in a shade of sultry graphite black that’s adds drama and sophistication. The real flames of a corner fireplace lend a cosy and warming balance making it effortlessly easy to picture yourself escaping from a chilly autumnal day in this beautifully composed space. The rich timber tones of the floor and colour scheme is matched in an adjoining double aspect. Currently configured as a recording studio it could also be a peaceful home office, snug or playroom if preferred.

Accessed from both the dining room and central hallway, a supremely well-appointed kitchen/breakfast room with a high sky lantern pairs the sleek clean line of its design with a first class array of Miele appliances and the convenience of a hot water tap. An extensive glass splashback injects a playful pop of colour to the neutral tones of the cabinetry and the seamless flow of the granite countertops extends to form a waterfall peninsula. With bar stool seating it is perfectly placed to enjoy an espresso or cappuccino from the integrated coffee machine.

A considerable matching utility room opens into the gardens and a ground floor cloakroom is ideal for guests.

Upstairs the impeccable levels of presentation continue throughout five outstanding double bedrooms with the gardens lending blissful views via an abundance of double aspect windows. Prompting a calm and restful feel, a wonderful principal bedroom has the added luxury of a fitted walk-through wardrobe and an en suite bathroom. The notably generous dimensions of the additional four rooms provide ample flexibility for a growing family, and whilst three have tastefully fitted wardrobes together they share a contemporary family bathroom.

Outside
Set to the backdrop of majestically statuesque trees that evoke a coveted feeling of privacy and tranquillity, the wrap-around gardens of Blackberry House are elegantly beautiful. Capacious lawns framed by beds filled with swathes of verbena and low level shrubs stretch around you with heavenly high hedgerows keeping you hidden from the world outside. Fiery red Acers add dashes of colour to the immense amount of leafy greenery and paved terracing reaches around the house giving you every excuse to enjoy al fresco dining.

In a gently elevated position, that cleverly and subtly defines it from the terracing a heated outdoor pool creates a considered centre piece. Bordered by prodigious poolside seating space, whether it’s to stay healthy or simply sit and dip toes in the water on a sunny day, this is somewhere that all ages will love to congregate. Behind it a tremendous contemporary garden room that’s fully powered and insulated adds the perfect finishing touch. Timber clad with full height corner glazing and French doors, its generous proportions further elevate the magnificent opportunity for al fresco entertaining. Fitted cabinets with a basin stretch out along substantial floor space currently used as a gym, while to the side a luxurious shower room is equally ideal post-swim or work out.

Budding gardeners will appreciate the raised beds of a hidden vegetable plot that sits out of view, and the combination of the considerable gated gravel driveway and detached double and single garaging provides secure off-road parking for several vehicles.
