4 bedroom detached house

Icknield Place is a substantial family house set back from the lane with a sweeping in/out drive between twin wrought iron electric gate. Constructed of red brick under a tiled roof, the house has a beautiful sense of arrival. Great care has been taken to maintain the property's condition, integrity and wealth of period features over the years. There is ample scope for a new family to add their touches during their ownership.

Behind a welcoming porch is a reception hall leading to multiple reception rooms that are both light and bright. The drawing room is triple aspect with a fireplace and double doors to a large conservatory with exceptional views over the garden. Also off the hall are the dining room with a delightful bay window and study overlooking the drive. The kitchen/breakfast room has multiple wall and base units under a marble worktop and a five-door Aga. There is access to the boot room and side entrance as well as a door connecting the sizable utility room encompassing a cloakroom with shower. Beyond is a door though to the integrated double garage.

Above is a generous principal bedroom with an en suite bathroom and dressing area. An additional three bedrooms and a further family bathroom enjoy views over the gardens to the front or to the rear. There are paddocks beyond, creating a delightful feeling of space.
