4 bedroom detached house for sale

A Four-Bedroom Home of Exceptional Finish in a Private Gated Development

Tucked away in a corner plot of a small and exclusive gated development in the heart of Somerby village, Garden House is a beautifully extended and remodelled four-bedroom home. Behind its modest frontage lies a property of surprising scale and sophistication, designed with a layout that perfectly balances family life and entertaining.

Step Inside

A welcoming porch opens into the entrance hall, with staircase to the first floor and access to the principal reception rooms and open-plan kitchen. Off the hall is a ground floor WC, finished in a contemporary style with striking mother-of-pearl effect tile detail.

The dining room runs the full width of the house, enjoying dual-aspect windows to the front and rear. A feature fireplace, housing a living flame gas fire and space for an additional seating area make this an elegant setting for formal entertaining.

The sitting room has been thoughtfully extended to create a wonderfully spacious and versatile living area. With triple-aspect windows and French doors, the room is bathed in natural light throughout the day and enjoys uninterrupted views over the gardens. The proportions allow for multiple seating arrangements, making it equally suited to relaxed family evenings or more formal entertaining. A contemporary wood-burning stove with a striking steel flue forms a stylish focal point, while the extended layout ensures the room feels both open and inviting, yet still warm and comfortable.

The heart of the home is the extended kitchen and living area, reimagined as a stunning open-plan space perfect for both family life and entertaining. Fitted with sleek high-gloss units and quartz worksurfaces, it features a full bank of integrated appliances, a large central island with integral sink and stylish induction hob set beneath a striking stainless-steel ceiling feature with flush extractor and downlighting, and a second matching island with breakfast bar ideal for casual dining or serving guests. Additional storage is cleverly positioned behind the breakfast bar, while the adjoining casual dining and seating areas create a natural flow for gatherings. Bi-fold and French doors open directly to the garden, bringing the outside in during warmer months, while a contemporary wood-burning stove in the seating area adds warmth and atmosphere in cooler seasons. Further touches such as display cabinetry, a wine cooler, and an integrated coffee machine complete this exceptional space, making it as practical as it is impressive.

A utility room and separate storeroom complete the ground floor.

Upstairs

The first floor offers four well-proportioned bedrooms, all accessed from the central landing. The master suite is a true highlight, with a spacious bedroom featuring three windows and a fitted dressing room with bespoke cabinetry, complemented by a luxurious ensuite that includes hand-crafted painted woodwork, a granite-topped vanity with twin ornamental glass sinks, and a double-ended built-in bath. A second bedroom benefits from its own modern ensuite shower room, while the remaining two double bedrooms, both with quality fitted wardrobes are served by the stylish family bathroom, fitted with both free-standing bath and separate shower. Together, the upstairs accommodation combines elegance with practicality, providing ample space for family living or visiting guests.

The property benefits from an efficient heating system, combining gas-fired central heating with solar-powered hot water. This thoughtful setup reduces running costs and enhances energy efficiency while providing reliable warmth and comfort throughout the home.

Step Outside

The outside space at Garden House has been designed with the same attention to detail as the interiors, creating a setting that is both practical and picturesque. The rear garden is thoughtfully landscaped, with sweeping lawns, mature shrubs, and seasonal planting that provide colour and texture throughout the year. Multiple seating areas are positioned to make the most of the sun at different times of day, from a south-facing artificial grass terrace ideal for summer relaxation to a flagged patio perfect for outdoor dining.

Discreetly screened areas accommodate a greenhouse, raised vegetable beds, wood and garden storage, allowing for productive gardening without detracting from the overall aesthetic. The boundaries are well defined, offering both privacy and security, while still maintaining an open, welcoming feel.

To the front, a spacious block-paved driveway provides ample parking and is framed by landscaped shrub beds that soften the approach. This leads to the double garage, which offers secure parking and additional storage. The corner-plot position within the gated development enhances the sense of exclusivity.
