5 bedroom detached house for sale

Gillwood is a fine property with an oak-framed entrance portal which perfects attention to detail at the front of the house.

The generously-proportioned reception hall affords additional versatile, living space with a decorative cast-iron fireplace and a bay window recess that enhances the sense of space. Internal bi-folding doors provide a connection to the adjoining sitting room, thereby creating superb entertaining space, with direct access to the garden available via two sets of bi-folding doors; alternatively, the two rooms can be divided by the double doors to offer a choice of areas for relaxation.

An impressive open-plan kitchen/dining and family room is flooded with natural light courtesy of a skylight and a wall of bi-folding doors that create a seamless connection to the paved terrace and garden. This social hub provides casual seating around a log-burning stove, a dining zone and a stylishly-designed kitchen with an island unit forming a subtle divide within the space. Fitted with sleek, contemporary wall and base level cabinetry, the kitchen features stone work surfaces and integrated appliances with ancillary space provided by a useful boot room and a utility room which also incorporates a cloakroom.

On the first floor there are four classically-styled bedrooms, a fifth bedroom that is currently being utilised as a study, and a charming family bathroom with vintage-inspired fittings. The principal room has excellent fitted storage and a luxuriously-appointed en suite bathroom with free-standing tub and walk-in waterfall shower.

To the front, a wide paved pathway gives access to the sheltered entrance portal and extends to either side where timber gates provide pedestrian routes to the garden. An electric gate allows vehicular access onto a gravelled driveway which offers an area for parking and leads to the detached double garage.

Paving follows the perimeter of the property and extends to provide terrace settings to two aspects of the house, with a decked platform on the west-facing side. This al fresco spot has raised timber-edged beds which form a sense of enclosure with planting pockets filled with an attractive collection of perennial plants. There are areas of lawn, and a further patio positioned in the far corner of the plot provides an alternative setting to dine or relax.
