5 bedroom detached house for sale

In a private enclave of just four, executive, detached homes, approached along a long, private lane and sat amongst the grounds of Fen Place Mill, an historic 18th Century corn mill lies The Garrick.

At the end of the small cul de sac setting, this striking, mock Tudor, family home is approached through a gated entrance and entirely enveloped by mature woodland gardens, with areas of formal lawn, a pond and considered planting. There's a detached double garage and a workshop and store in the garden. Step inside and you'll be met by a most welcoming entrance hall and sitting/dining room, adorned with fine timbers and the outstanding inglenook fireplace. This fireplace is replicated on the reverse in the formal sitting room which also boasts a triple aspect over the gardens and draws in an abundance of natural light from the South. Across the house, you'll find the large study which would be very well suited to a snug or family room and adjacent the social kitchen, with its central island beneath a fine slab of granite. Here you'll find a range of integrated appliances which also include a wine cooler and Rangemaster.

Upstairs; there are five bedrooms; a guest bedroom includes an ensuite shower room, there's a family bathroom with stylish sanitaryware and to the master bedroom a luxurious ensuite with sumptuous free standing bath tub. The master suite also includes its own dressing area and the standout feature, French windows opening onto a balcony overlooking the magnificent gardens and surrounds, perfect for a morning coffee right through to a night cap, given its South Westerly aspect - what better place to retreat.
