5 bedroom detached house

The property

Built in 2000 and remaining within the same ownership since then, Wheelwrights sits in a private position on the outskirts of the popular village of Great Bowden. Top Yard Farm is a small close consisting of just 7 houses and Wheelwrights sits to the rear of the close with open south-easterly field views.

The house has light and spacious living accommodation with oak flooring throughout the two principal rooms. Downstairs accommodation consists of a large sitting room with French doors opening onto the garden and a stone fireplace with a gas fire, this leads through to the dining room which has French doors opening onto a partially covered terrace, a central hall with breakfast kitchen with utility room off, a library with fitted oak shelves and a cloakroom.

Stairs lead up from the central hall to a generous landing space which has potential to create a small office area. The principal bedroom is situated at the southern end of the house and has an en suite shower room and separate walkin warbrobe. There are four further bedrooms, one of which has been utilised as a dressing room, and all of which have field views, and two bathrooms.
