5 bedroom detached house for sale

When a property with origins in Victorian times provides the potential for extension in the modern era and the result is a seamless and harmonious meeting of tasteful and well planned accommodation the result is a home of supreme quality providing all that present day lifestyles demand.

Standing in an impressive half acre of wooded and lawned garden with a breathtaking koi carp pond at its furthest boundary, this distinctive detached property has substantial well proportioned accommodation arranged over two floors. A magnificent fireplace in the sitting room, a delightful Orangery looking over the gardens, a large garage/workshop capable of housing three cars, a music studio and various garden structures all make a contribution to create this superb dwelling which is quietly located at the end of a no through road.

About The Property - Located in an entirely residential area at the terminus of a no through road this splendid detached property originated as a small cottage in the early 1900's. It has since undergone tasteful and sympathetic extensions at various times during the 20th century always mindful and in keeping with the property’s origins. In fairly recent times the roof tiles and windows have been replaced as the current sellers have diligently maintained the home they have cherished and loved.

First Floor - On the first floor there are five bedrooms, two having en suite facilities, one with an Aqualisa remote control facility. The Master bedroom is elegant and spacious and apart from its en suite shower room has a custom built walk in wardrobe. The guest bedroom enjoys en suite facilities and thereafter there are three further bedrooms and a family bathroom.

Situation And Property Information - The property stands slightly elevated from the roadside with shrub planting to the front contained within stone retaining walls. A block paved driveway affords off road parking and access to a detached three car garage with workshop space. To the rear of the garage stands the soundproofed music room.
There are 2 solar arrays, both of 12 panels, one on the roof of the house which generates approx £1700pa tax free until 2035. The additional array is sited on the garage unseen from the house. This feeds a battery which stores electricity for more economic use in the evening. The total value of income and savings annually is around £2800.00. More comprehensive information on this facility is available on request.

Exterior - Directly behind the property is a large expanse of patio assembled from random width flagstones which benefits from external lighting. The grounds extend away from the property on a slight incline with a central pathway bisecting the considerable areas of lawn. The lawns are populated with many and varied tree species to include willow, apple, silver birch and Canadian maple. The boundaries are defined by tall hedgerows providing privacy and seclusion. A large carp pond stands to the top of the garden and is a lovely feature. Additional wooden outbuildings house the controls for maintaining the pond and also for provision of an irrigation system to assuage the needs of the gardens in warmer weather. There is also a Summer house which overlooks a further patio area at the head of the pond providing a tranquil seating area during the balmy summer evenings.

There is also the renowned local hostelry "The White Hart" which is listed in CAMRAs “Good Beer Guide” and “Good Pub Food.” Sherington has a C of E primary school which is rated good by Ofsted.
