5 bedroom detached house for sale

Coming to the market for the first time in nearly 20 years and situated on a quiet no-through road at the edge of The Bennett school grounds, this substantial, light-filled home offers nearly 3,800 square feet of highly versatile living space set over four floors. The house was cleverly designed to take advantage of the natural incline of the land, resulting in a flexible home with living accommodation that spans 4 floors. With five generously sized double bedrooms and five well-appointed bathrooms it caters perfectly to the needs of a growing family.

The home features a dine-in kitchen that opens onto a charming balcony, providing picturesque views over the established garden below, which is predominately laid to lawn and flanked with trees and mature shrubs. Three separate reception rooms are currently used as a sitting room, family room and dining room, and in addition there is a home office. The main reception room is adjacent to the kitchen features a wood burning stove and French doors to a further balcony. The ground floor space could easily be remodelled to incorporate an impressive open plan kitchen / diner / family space (subject to necessary consents), and there is also the potential for annexe accommodation. This adds a layer of flexibility, ideal for multi-generational living or guest accommodation.

The bedrooms are all an excellent size and have the added advantage of fitted wardrobes. The master bedroom features its own private dressing room and a spacious ensuite bathroom with both shower and bath. On the lower ground floor there is a further room that is currently used as a home office, but with an adjacent shower room and sauna, this could certainly serve as a further bedroom if required.

Storage is also excellent in the house, with a generous linen cupboard and boarded loft accessed from the upper floor.

The property is set on a third of an acre, and the grounds and setting are a unique feature of this lovely family home. Situated on a quiet no-through road which is flanked with trees and accessed from Culverden Down, the house enjoys a semi-rural feel, despite its close proximity to the town and St Johns district. To the front is a generous driveway which leads to a double garage, whilst the south-facing rear garden features a terrace, lawn and pathways to explore. To the rear there is also a store room, providing ample and easily accessible storage.

The peaceful location, while still being within easy reach of local amenities and schools combined with the highly spacious accommodation that can be adapted to meet the new owners’ needs, make this a house that should be viewed to appreciate all that it offers.
