6 bedroom detached house to rent
Key information
Property description & features
The house offers impressive and versatile accommodation arranged over 3 floors, with up to 7 bedrooms, and is ideal for both family living and formal entertaining. The interior features an abundance of natural light and materials.
The highlight of the property is the wonderfully spacious open plan living area, seamlessly connecting living room, dining area and kitchen, and with sliding doors onto a full-length balcony with beautiful views onto the garden and trees below. The living area has an open fireplace as well as a log-burning stove. Hidden sliding doors allow you to close off the kitchen/breakfast room to create formal dining and drawing rooms, should you so choose.
The kitchen is a cook's dream with plenty of storage, workstations including a central island and marble and stainless-steel work tops. Appliances include an electric oven, combination microwave, induction hob and built-in induction wok, American style fridge-freezer, and full-size dishwasher.
The ground floor also contains good-size home office as well as playroom, both with fitted desks, and generously sized utility room equipped with a washing machine, tumble dryer and laundry chute, streamlining household chores and maintaining tidiness effortlessly.
On the first floor there are 5 bedrooms, including the principal bedroom with a fitted dressing area, a stylish ensuite bathroom and a private balcony. All the bedrooms have fitted wardrobes, meaning there is no need for separate dressers or wardrobes. There is an additional family bathroom with a shower and bath.
A great feature of the property is the flexibility offered by the lower-ground floor space opening onto the garden and terrace. This contains a central kitchenette and two bedrooms, both with French doors on to the rear terrace and both served by their own bathrooms. This has its own entrance but is integral to the main house, accessed by a flight of stairs in the centre of the property. The space is ideal for guests or an au-pair offering both great convenience and privacy. Alternatively, it also offers flexibility for a study and/or additional living space for older children or family members.
The rear balcony has views of the beautiful, landscaped garden below. The garden features a large terrace with an attractive pergola and raised beds, ideal for a vegetable patch or cutting garden. A path leads to the lawn with several mature trees and shrubs. The rental includes a gardening service.
There is parking for several cars on the front drive.
