4 bedroom detached house

Description Northlands is approached along its own private drive and upon arrival the ornate electric gates open to reveal the "mini country estate" which forms Northlands. Immediately it becomes apparent that this "hidden gem" offers much more than one might first expect. Located in a tucked away location within its own grounds in this most sought after village adjoining open farmland Northlands with its very attractive 1950's principal residence at its heart impresses from the moment you arrive. The main house, handsome in its appearance, has been greatly improved and extended to create an individually designed house of very generous proportions providing a home that is designed for modern family life that flows with ease from inside to outside, especially from the more recent extensions. The property has been very sympathetically renovated and many beautiful 1950's original features have been retained including parquet flooring a beautiful original fireplace. The recent improvements have extended the facilities making it ideal for entertaining, with the notable addition of a large west facing entertainment/family room which opens out into the beautifully landscaped gardens. The property is complimented by a most attractive sun lounge, south facing sitting room, and very well appointed kitchen/breakfast room. Rearrangement to create a ground floor suite would be a practical option within the accommodation for those that require future-proofed living. On the first floor the 4 bedrooms have delightful views over the garden with the principal bedroom offering generous sized ensuite facilities. Part of the upper floor could also be easily used to incorporate a separate flatlet due to its existing independent external staircase; overall this property offers exceptionally versatile accommodation. The detached double garage has a well- equipped upper floor one-bedroom apartment over this creates delightful ancillary accommodation to the main property. In the far corner of the garden, separated by a high hedge and access by a footpath is the superb detached 2 storey country cottage, which forms a highly successful holiday let (through Sykes Holiday). Well equipped, including a secluded first floor deck with hot tub providing stunning views over adjoining farmland, and a barbecue terrace with views over the fields beyond also. This detached cottage has been built to a very high specification throughout and could equally be enjoyed as a home perhaps for family members for those looking for multi-generational living with the grounds of the main house. The established, level, beautifully landscaped gardens extend to about 1.2 acres, with expanses of lawn to the south and west of the house and tree lined avenues.
