5 bedroom detached house

This property was constructed for the present owners in 1995 to a very high standard. This is a substantial detached period style house of handmade Michelmersh brick under a slate roof which has excellent family accommodation extending to approximately 3,500 square feet arranged over two floors.
The layout radiates from a vestibule with double doors leading to a large hallway with a handmade mahogany staircase. There are three separate cupboards within the hallway for cloaks, drinks, storage, and further understairs storage. The triple-aspect drawing room with an antique open fireplace and french doors to the garden flows through double doors to the dining room.
There is a large study with hand-built fitted shelves and cupboards and easily accommodates three desks. The handmade maple kitchen features a central island, Corian work surfaces, Miele integrated appliances, and a pantry with a marble slab top. Leading from this is the lovely dual-aspect family room with feature oak timbers to the single-story roof and handbuilt shelves and cupboards, and storage under the bay window seat.
The key feature of the utility room is the access to the front of the house for everyday use and to the rear, and it incorporates an additional downstairs cloakroom for garden access.
The mahogany staircase leads to a galleried landing. The principal bedroom is extremely spacious with an en suite bathroom and dressing area. There are four further bedrooms, all of a good size and with fitted wardrobes. There are a further two bathrooms with stand-alone showers and baths. There is also extensive attic space.
Outside the house is well set back from the road with plenty of parking to the front. The rear of the garden is large and laid to lawn with some shrubs and a large Yorkstone terrace facing south/west.
