4 bedroom detached house

The majority of the accommodation is thoughtfully arranged on the ground floor, making it ideal for a wide range of buyers, while the addition of a first-floor bedroom and bathroom provides the perfect room for guests or older children. For those seeking even more space, the large loft offers excellent potential for conversion, subject to the necessary consents.

Upon entering, you are greeted by a welcoming hallway with a useful cloaks cupboard. The impressive sitting room features two sets of French doors opening out to a rear and side terrace, offering lovely views of the mature garden.

The generously sized kitchen is both practical and attractive, fitted with a range of classic Shaker-style units and equipped with a six-burner gas hob, integrated appliances, and eye-level double oven. There is ample space for a dining table, creating a sociable heart to the home. A separate utility room, conveniently located off the kitchen, provides additional storage and access to the side of the property. The flexible layout continues with four further ground-floor rooms, which the current owners have adapted to suit their needs – currently arranged as bedrooms, a study, and a formal dining room – offering versatility for families, home working, or those seeking hobby or guest space. A modern ground floor shower room adds further convenience.

Upstairs, the accommodation comprises a light and airy double bedroom with views over the garden and a well-appointed bathroom. A door on this level gives access to a generous loft area, ideal for storage or future development (subject to regulations).

Outside, the garden is a real highlight – a haven for families, gardeners, and outdoor enthusiasts alike. A paved terrace provides the perfect space for summer dining, leading onto a large lawn, vegetable plots, and an abundance of soft fruits, including strawberries, raspberries, gooseberries, blackberries, and rhubarb.

To the front of the property, there is ample off-road parking and a detached garage/workshop.

In summary, this is a unique and deceptively spacious home that must be viewed to be fully appreciated. With its generous gardens, adaptable living space, and further potential, it offers an ideal blend of comfort, practicality, and opportunity in a sought after and well-established setting.
