5 bedroom detached house for sale

Substantial five bedroom family house set on a generous plot of approximately 1.48 acres with far reaching views across open countryside.

Description

The Florins is an extremely well-proportioned family home situated in a semi-rural village, within extensive and attractively landscaped gardens. The detached home was built in 1989 and has benefited from a number of updates, including cosmetic redecoration, a new fireplace in the sitting room and a wealth of improvements in the garden. There are far-reaching views to the front and rear over the surrounding countryside and off-street parking for a number of vehicles, either on the driveway to the front or to the side within a gated area of the garden which leads to a detached double garage and workshop.

Offering more than 3400 sq ft of space, the generously sized house is perfect for families: downstairs, the two reception spaces are both very large and offer a vast amount of space, with views over the front and rear gardens. There’s a study, which is great for home working and an open plan kitchen and breakfast room leading to a spacious utility room. The bedrooms on the first floor can all accommodate either a double or king-size bed; the principal bedroom is spacious enough to accommodate its own sitting area and has built-in storage and an en suite bath and shower room, and there are two further en suite guest bedrooms. The remaining two bedrooms share a family bath/shower room.

The gardens of The Florins are fabulous: lawned spaces to the front and rear have been attractively landscaped, there’s a magnificent kitchen garden with a greenhouse and series of raised beds leading to a stand of silver birch trees. The flowerbeds and borders are well stocked with a wide variety of shrubs. A grass paddock to the rear incorporates a small orchard, still in the early stages of growth, which could be used for grazing or a smallholding. The gravel driveway to the front leads alongside the house to a gated space at the rear where there’s also a detached double garage and a workshop.
