4 bedroom detached house for sale

Standing proudly within its enchanting plot, in excess of 2.5 acres, and with various outbuildings, Denbridge is an extraordinary family home, alive with personality and the versatility to accompany the ever-changing demands of a fulfilling and modern way of life. Over 3,000 sq. ft. of highly flexible accommodation is arranged primarily across the ground floor.

The welcoming entrance hall, which gives way to all accommodation, is awash with natural light and enjoys space enough to be used as a reception in its own right. At the heart of the ground floor is the kitchen/breakfast room; wonderfully presented and a brilliantly sociable space. Two elegant formal receptions sit alongside the kitchen – the dining room, which itself leads to the excellent conservatory with panoramic views of the plot, and also the large sitting room with space enough for numerous seating areas. An expansive window ushers in natural light and splendid views in the summer months, whilst the wood-burning stove makes for the ideal focal point for long relaxing winter evenings.

Elsewhere on the ground floor, Denbridge begins to showcase its true versatility, with two large bedroom/additional reception options sharing the adjacent shower room whilst a further study and utility room make for valuable additions.

The first floor is home to two further excellent bedrooms enjoying characterful proportions, set within the eaves of the home. Both are well served by the central family bathroom and the larger of the bedrooms gives convenient step free access to the expansive loft/storage space. Exciting potential to add to the already sprawling accommodation!

Of course, arguably the most noteworthy feature of this home is the sensational plot in which it sits. The grounds, measuring approximately 2.62 acres(stms), envelop this home in an enchanting mix of formal gardens, meadows and paddocks with a river boundary along the bottom of the plot.

The spacious frontage provides a manicured front lawn alongside the large driveway and a substantial detached double garage, whilst the immediate rear garden is an oasis of calm, with the sprawling sun terrace leading out to yet another expanse of manicured lawns, interspersed with thriving flower beds and majestic mature trees. Beyond the greenhouse, an orchard serves as a delightful threshold to the splendid wild meadow; an essential space of rewilding grounds for wildlife to thrive and live alongside the happy occupants of Denbridge. Naturally the only limit to the uses for a space like this is ones own imagination! A further detached garage sits at the end of this section of the plot.

To the other side of the formal garden, the large paddock houses arguable the most intriguing of features of this idiosyncratic home; a substantial unconverted barn/outbuilding approaching almost 2,500 sq. ft. in size and offering yet more potential for a plethora of exciting uses. There is independent access to the road via a five bar gate, and this section of the plot would make an ideal equestrian facility.
