5 bedroom detached house for sale

A substantial family house with extensive grounds and a wonderful outlook, set on the edge of this very sought-after village.

Description

Built in 1990 as one of two nicely set-apart homes, our clients have been at Furzefield House from new and have maintained and upgraded the property over time.

The property enjoys a tucked away position, being located at the end of a long private approach drive, shared with just the neighbouring house, and accessed off the turning circle at the end of Furzefield Avenue.

The views over the open countryside to the rear are stunning, and the accommodation is spacious throughout. The front door opens into a large reception hall and all the key rooms on the ground floor open onto the rear terrace, benefitting from the exceptional outlook and a southerly aspect.

The oak fitted kitchen is by Chambers and incorporates a corian sink and granite worktops, with Amtico flooring and high quality appliances, including Gaggenau ovens and a Miele dishwasher. The utility room is fitted to match.

The reception rooms work well together providing flexible space for entertaining and interlinking via the reception hall. The large sitting room has a period-style fireplace and opens into the generously proportioned garden room and also has double doors through to the dining room.

Upstairs, the principal bedroom suite is again spacious and well-laid out, with 'his and hers' dressing rooms and an en suite bathroom with bath, twin sinks and a separate shower. There is also a fine bespoke Chambers, built-in walnut cupboard for storage. There are four further bedrooms (two en suite) and a family bathroom arranged over the ground and first floors.

Outside, the gated driveway offers good parking space and access to the detached triple garage block, with roof storage.

However, the focus is very much on the substantial rear garden, with extensive park-like rolling grounds, laid to lawn with terracing and many mature trees. There is a post and rail boundary fence, with farmland beyond.
