4 bedroom detached house for sale

Rarely available rural position; with a spring fed pond and garden plus paddock skirting National Trust woodland. Flexible and versatile family accommodation.

Entering the driveway through mature hedging there is off road parking and turning for several vehicles, plus a detached double garage with twin up and over doors and storage above.

A formal entrance porch opens through an attractive wooden front door into a wide and spacious entrance hall; plenty of room to welcome guests and family, a central hub linking all your principle rooms, and there is a great choice of reception space! Extending across the rear of the house is a large formal drawing room with feature fireplace (Jetmaster fire) flanked by built in cupboard and shelving, a large box bay window overlooking south facing gardens and patio doors opening onto a pergola covered patio. Internal double doors open to a dual aspect sitting room with attractive brick fireplace (also with a Jetmaster fire) and alcove shelving.

To the front aspect are a formal dining room and a large open plan kitchen/dining/family room. There is plenty of space for a large family breakfast table in addition to a range of cupboard storage including a large island with sink and breakfast bar. An oil powered Aga creates the rural family vibe, you can imagine baked bread, fantastic roasts with a dog warming itself in front! For practical purposes there is also a built in electric oven. Off the kitchen is a final reception room; currently used as a study (with fitted furniture ) but also a potential play room or snug, and a utility room with further door to a boot room; very practical with paddocks and woodland walks on your doorstep. Completing the ground floor accommodation is a WC.

Moving to the first floor there are four fantastic double bedrooms. Worthy of mention is the 27'10 wide master bedroom with dressing area and wardrobes, 3 south facing windows which enjoy views over the gardens, fitted air conditioning unit and en suite with both bath and shower. Front aspect double bedroom with built in wardrobes and en suite bathroom. The third bedroom is a double approached via a nursery/study/dressing room which combined extend some 25 feet; a very flexible bedroom space which also enjoys an en suite shower room. Finally, bedroom four enjoys a double aspect and benefits from being adjacent to the family bathroom which it can enjoy almost exclusively as the other bedrooms all have en suite facilities.

The gardens and grounds are special, enhanced by their south facing aspect. Adjacent to the house is a large sunny patio, which the current owners have enhanced by creating a large pergola, covered with an ornamental vine, to provide dappled shade. Beyond that are mature well established gardens, predominantly lawned with a super spring fed wildlife pond, and well established Oaks amongst other mature and established trees, rhododendrons and shrubs. Adjacent to the formal grounds is a field/paddock. The grounds have provided a super backdrop to the current owners family life, with plenty of space for children to explore, create dens and rafts, all the while being emersed in nature with plenty of visiting wildlife.
