5 bedroom detached house for sale

Barcham House is a handsome double-fronted family home offering almost 3,200 sq ft of flexible accommodation. Designed to provide an elegant yet practical environment for both living and entertaining, the accommodation features large windows to take full advantage of the lovely garden views. From the porch and a welcoming entrance hall, with exposed wooden flooring and a useful cloakroom, the accommodation has a natural flow. The spacious dual-aspect sitting room with rear-aspect bay window, has a Bath stone fireplace, and double doors opening to a well-proportioned, dual-aspect study with French doors to the south facing terrace. This, in turn, gives access to a generous front-aspect snug with a distinctive corner fireplace.

The ground floor accommodation is completed by a generous kitchen/dining room with a front-aspect bay window, exposed wooden flooring, and a range of bespoke wall and base units including a central island; complemented by a butler’s sink, triple Aga, and modern integrated appliances all adding to the appeal. From here, doors lead to a fitted utility room and a walk-in pantry, as well as a separate boot room with an interconnecting wine cellar.

From the entrance hall a turned staircase rises to a generous first floor landing with useful storage. The dual-aspect principal bedroom has fitted storage and a contemporary en suite shower room. There are four further well-proportioned bedrooms, three with built-in storage, and a modern family bathroom, with access to useful eaves storage. On the second floor the property benefits from two inter-connecting vaulted loft rooms, suitable for a variety of uses including conversion to additional accommodation if required, subject to the usual consents.

Occupying a generous plot and having plenty of kerb appeal, the property is approached through a five-bar gate over a gravelled driveway, providing ample private parking and giving access to the double garage. The generous well-maintained garden, a particular feature of the property, is laid mainly to level lawn bordered by well-stocked shrub beds and hedging and features numerous seating areas and a generous wraparound paved terrace, ideal for entertaining and al fresco dining. There is also an additional area of woodland, the whole screened by mature trees giving privacy and seclusion. Opposite the drive is a path which takes you moments to reach the Devil's Punchbowl, a fantastic playground for country walks, mountain-biking and dog walking.
