Set within a quiet and well established residential setting, this property is a substantial five bedroom detached home offering beautifully balanced accommodation, generous gardens and excellent parking.

Accommodation

The house is entered via an impressive and generously proportioned entrance hall, which immediately sets the tone for the space and flexibility found throughout the property. With a central pillar and excellent circulation, this welcoming area has long been a focal point of family life, easily accommodating movement between rooms and upstairs while also offering space that has been creatively used by children over the years for play and imaginative adventures.

Approached via a spacious driveway with ample parking and access to the double garage, the house immediately conveys a sense of privacy and scale.

The internal layout has been thoughtfully arranged to suit modern family living

The large sitting room, centred around a wood burner, is a welcoming and atmospheric space, ideal for winter evenings and family gatherings. It has been the heart of many Christmas mornings, with the fire lit and the room filled with warmth and conversation. A separate formal dining room provides an elegant setting for entertaining, reserved for special occasions, family celebrations and memorable festive meals. A study offers an excellent home office or quiet retreat away from the main living areas.

The kitchen, undoubtedly the hub of the home, is generous in size and designed for shared living. It has long been a place where family and friends cook together, prepare Sunday lunches, bake with children and enjoy informal meals, with enough space for several people to work comfortably at once. A utility room adds valuable practicality for busy households.

Upstairs, the property offers five well-proportioned bedrooms, providing flexibility for families, guests or multigenerational living. There are three bathrooms, along with a ground-floor cloakroom, ensuring excellent convenience for both residents and visitors.

The size and flow of the rooms make the house particularly well suited to entertaining, allowing guests to move easily between spaces while still feeling intimate and welcoming.

Gardens & Outdoor Living

The generous and private rear garden has been a defining feature of the home, offering a safe and versatile space for both relaxation and play. Over the years it has accommodated football games, badminton, trampolines, paddling pools and summer barbecues, as well as quieter moments spent enjoying the garden with family and friends.

There has been ample room for a wooden playhouse, picnics on the lawn and children learning to ride bicycles and go-karts. The garden has also hosted memorable summer lunches, water games on warm days and even first camping experiences for younger family members on balmy evenings.

When the weather turns cooler, the garden continues to complement the house, providing an attractive backdrop for gatherings indoors and out.

This is a home that truly supports family life at every stage. The generous ground floor has allowed children the freedom to play, perform dance or gymnastics shows, and turn the hallway into an imaginative adventure space. Equally, the size of the house ensures that older children and adults can find privacy when needed.

The double garage has often been used as a social space in its own right, frequently housing a pool table and serving as a popular place for teenagers and adults to relax and spend time together.

The property has also proved ideal for multigenerational living, comfortably accommodating family members returning home during their late teens and early adult years, with enough space for everyone to live together harmoniously.
