This executive style home is situated in a small cul-de-sac of exclusive homes in the sought after village of Fen Drayton, offering a wonderful balance of accessible transport links and countryside living. Owned and well maintained since new, the property is of generous proportions set over three floors with a double garage, professionally landscaped garden and the benefit of approximately 0.5 acres of additional land to the rear of the property.
The property is flooded with natural light and a feeling of spaciousness, whilst still retaining its barn-style charm, and this starts from the moment you enter the entrance hall, with impressive galleried landing, feature brick walls and stunning staircase. Stepping through glazed double doors into the lounge, you are greeted by a raised inglenook fireplace with seating and a multi-fuel burner, plenty of space for over-sized sofas, and bi-fold doors leading out onto the east facing patio with the easily maintained ornamental garden beyond. With views to the church, this part of the garden has an arched gate that leads out onto the land, and a bespoke outbuilding in the same style as the main property. From the lounge, another set of glazed double doors open into the large, light-filled kitchen/diner with another set of bi-fold doors leading to the south facing patio with pergola, providing the ability to open the entire downstairs and garden into an open-plan entertaining space. The immaculate bespoke oak kitchen is fitted to a high specification, including a range oven, Perrin and Rowe boiling water filter tap and granite worktops, with breakfast bar and feature extractor over the hob. A downstairs cloakroom, and a utility area in the garage made accessible through the kitchen, completes the ground floor accommodation. The double garage is currently used as a games room with storage, and has plumbing and electrics already fitted, so is easily convertible (STPP) into additional living space if needed.
Proceeding up the beautiful staircase, the large galleried landing overlooks the front of the property with its stunning Walnut Tree and a private drive for two cars and space for visitor parking. There are four bedrooms on the first floor, the most luxurious of these has an ensuite and the smallest is currently used as a home office. All are light and spacious with stunning views of the church or fields beyond. The family bathroom, with shower over bath is also situated on this floor, adjacent to a large storage/airing cupboard. Following the galleried landing takes you up to the second floor, with a Master bedroom fitted with oak bedroom furniture, a dressing room, and a beautiful ensuite with a bath big enough for two adults, built in vanity units and separate shower cubicle fitted with an Aqualisa digital shower. This huge bedroom is filled with light and has wonderful views to the rear of the property.
The professionally landscaped and easily maintained garden is a mixture of wildlife friendly planting, patios and landscaping designed for relaxation and enjoyment and low maintenance. It has two outbuildings, a small potting shed and a bespoke cabin in keeping with the main property which could be converted into an outdoor office or workshop. The garden is dual aspect, south and east, enjoying the sunrise over the church, sunshine for most of the day and the sunset depending on the time of year. A perfect space for entertaining, relaxing, playing or pottering with the added benefit of extra land that surrounds the garden. This offers scope for an orchard, wildlife pond, vegetable garden or wildflower meadow extending the existing outside space. The garden is a haven for wildlife, with a buzzard the most recent visitor and deer often seen grazing in the field beyond. Viewing of this fantastic rural property is highly recommended as only then can the generous proportions, immaculate finish and stunning views be fully appreciated.
