6 bedroom detached house

Substantial detached family home occupying an impressive garden plot, with versatile and highly flexible accommodation throughout, and far-reaching countryside views

Substantial and highly individual six-bedroom family home built in the 1950's, occupying a large garden plot backing onto open farmland, with a herringbone block-paved driveway for several vehicles leading to the integrated twin garages

PROPERTY DESCRIPTION
The property was extended in the 1990's to create an annexe facility for an elderly relative – this effectively doubled the size of the property, and it offers the flexibility to manage the two parts separately or as one family home as currently
Hall with original wooden parquet flooring leads through to the majority of the ground floor accommodation
To the left of the hall is the refitted downstairs cloakroom with vintage-style wc and pedestal wash-hand basin with attractive tiled-effect vinyl flooring. The cloakroom also houses the hot water and central heating system, fitted in 2017. A large 300 litre ‘Megaflo’ immersion tank, delivering mains pressured hot water, can be heated by the open vented gas boiler or via mains electricity
To the right of the hall is the triple-aspect sitting room with original wooden parquet flooring, decorative fireplace with fitted coal-effect gas fire, marble inserts and hearth, views over the rear gardens and farmland beyond, with an open archway through to the dining room
The dining room also enjoys original wooden parquet flooring throughout, with an attractive closed fireplace with granite mantel and fitted alcove base cupboards with shelving and access through a large glazed French door to the lawned gardens
The main kitchen offers a good selection of shaker-style wall and base cupboards with laminated work surfaces, stainless steel sink unit, working Aga (cooking purposes only) with decorative wall tiles and ample space for a small table and chairs
Adjoining the kitchen is the secondary kitchen area created as part of the annexe, which provides additional wall and base cupboards and space for an electric cooker
Both kitchens could easily be opened up to create a large family kitchen with French doors leading into the generous rear gardens and making the most of the open countryside views beyond
At the far end of the house, is the large dual-aspect family room, with additional front door access, open under-stair storage, personal door access to the integral twin garage and a secondary staircase leading to the first floor
On the first floor, there is an impressive triple-aspect principal bedroom with a number of fitted storage solutions, including wardrobe cupboards, dressing table and chest of drawers, with an adjoining bathroom comprising a panelled bath, low-level wc and pedestal wash-hand basin
There are four further bedrooms, with a particularly large bedroom at the end of the landing area, which is currently used as a playroom
All four bedrooms are serviced by the main family bathroom
There is also an additional bedroom with en-suite shower room situated off the playroom, which has the benefit of a small open balcony area
