5 bedroom detached house for sale

A WELL-PRESENTED PERIOD FIVE BEDROOMED HOUSE LYING ON THE EDGE OF THIS ATTRACTIVE ESTATE VILLAGE WITH DELIGHTFUL SOUTH FACING
GARDEN

This attractive ironstone house originally dates back to 1657 and was formerly the laundry to the Thorpe Malsor estate. In the hands of the current owners for the last 42 years the property has been sympathetically extended to create a flexible family home ideally suited for modern 21st century living yet retaining much of its original character.

The flexible accommodation is set out over two floors with two great entertaining rooms on the ground floor served by cozy kitchen/breakfast/snug. Four of the five bedrooms are all doubles with three benefitting from en suite facilities. Overlooking estate woodland, the south facing landscaped garden enjoys a high degree of privacy and provides the perfect environment to relax and entertain family and friends.

The front door opens into the reception hall lying in the heart of the house with access to cloakroom and one of the two staircases. To the right is the sitting/dining room with sliding patio door opening onto rear terrace and garden and at the far end is an attractive inglenook open fireplace. Lying beyond and enjoying its own independent access is a large reception room, great for entertaining, and currently used as a family/games room with direct access into the garden.

The kitchen/breakfast/snug with exposed beamed ceiling, enjoys a double aspect with wonderful views over the rear garden. The red two oven AGA has pride of place with separate oil-fired boiler incorporated and running the central heating system in the original part of the house.

The bespoke fitted kitchen has granite work surfaces with inset one and a half bowl stainless steel sink with mixer tap. There is plumbing for a dishwasher along with four ring halogen hob. The snug is cozy with stone fireplace housing an open fire.

Lying off the kitchen is the fully fitted utility room which doubles as a pantry/boot room with plumbing for washing machine and dryer with stable door opening onto the drive.

FIRST FLOOR
The first floor accommodation is split and accessed via two separate staircases. The three double bedroom suites all benefitting from fitted wardrobes are accessed from the 1982 extension with oak staircase leading up to a galleried landing. The principal suite has great proportions and enjoys a double aspect with large ensuite bathroom and benefits from views over the rear garden and estate woodland beyond.

The two remaining bedrooms are accessed via a dog leg staircase off the reception hall rising to a further landing with fitted storage cupboards and allowing access to a double and single bedroom served by recently refitted and fully tiled family bathroom with separate shower cubicle and airing cupboard housing hot water cylinder.

OUTSIDE

Lying to the east of the house is a five bar field gate opening onto block paviour drive offering an abundance of parking and access to detached double garage, constructed in 1984. To the rear is a small workshop accessed via separate external door with wooden ladder leading up to a useful home office/studio above with Velux roof lighting and eaves storage. Behind the garage is a useful outdoor storage area and provides screening for the central heating oil tank and there is further outdoor storage space on the Eastern side.

The garden is a pure delight lying to the south of the house and contained behind stone walling offering privacy and protection. The southern boundary overlooks woodland belonging to Thorpe Malsor Hall. Running along the rear of the house are raised paved seating and dining areas overlooking the central lawn edged by well stocked and raised herbaceous borders which offer a profusion of colour in the summer months. A paved path meanders through the borders and lying in the far corner is a timber garden shed.
