5 bedroom detached house for sale

An exceptional family home which has been extended and refurbished, finished to a high standard, with plenty of surprises within.

Approached into an impressive vaulted hallway with limestone flooring and bespoke carpentry to create a space for shoes and coats. Off an internal hallway there is an elegant sitting room, triple aspect with beams and a stone fireplace housing a gas stove, this room is perfect for a large family Christmas with plenty of room for the tree. Further along there is a cloakroom and a boot room ideal for the dog with a door to the side of the house, allowing access after muddy walks.

The kitchen-dining-family room is truly the heart of this home with an elegance which belies its practicality. Limestone flooring is both practical and striking whilst the kitchen has plenty of drawers, pantry style cupboards and a large island unit large enough to seat the whole family. A range cooker and large American fridge freezer finish the look and feel of the kitchen, adjacent is a utility room with planned space for appliances.

Bi-folding doors stretch across the back wall of the kitchen and there is plenty of room for sofas and a large dining table. A door leads into a cinema/games room with bi-folding doors leading into the garden. A personal door leads into the double garage with an electric roller door and insulated flooring, here there is a radiator, power and light to create an in-house gym if required. The garage has been insulated to the same standard as the house, so is ripe for conversion

From the kitchen there are double doors opening into the snug with an open fireplace and plenty of storage, double doors open back into the hallway.

Upstairs is equally as impressive with a principal bedroom which is expansive with a good size dressing room and adjacent bathroom with separate shower. There are three further double bedrooms and a family shower room. There is also a guest suite with a beautiful vaulted ceiling with beams, dual aspect with an adjacent shower room. This makes for a perfect blending of families as this area of the house can be separated off if required.

Outside there are electric gates leading to ample parking for several cars, external garages which can house three cars and workshops which all have power and light, but have been painted in co-ordinating colours to the house. If you choose to convert the double garage into a gym there would still be ample parking.

Access around both sides of the house leads into the rear garden which has been landscaped to provide a terrace running the length of the house, a lawned area separated by railway sleepers, an outside entertaining area which could be converted into an outside kitchen or a work from home office and a children’s play area, an area which has been fenced off and has bark flooring.
