4 bedroom detached house for sale

Set within an established and particularly well-regarded residential setting, this executive-style detached home is impeccably presented and has been thoughtfully remodelled and updated in recent years. The accommodation is bright and well balanced, offering generous reception space, four bedrooms and a strong connection between inside, outside and the protected woodland beyond. To the rear, a balcony forms a raised terrace for long lunches, evening drinks and quiet mornings, enjoying an elevated outlook across the treeline. Deer are often seen moving through the woodland and the birdlife brings a subtle sense of movement throughout the day, a wonderfully private, ever-changing backdrop that genuinely enriches everyday life.

A double garage, private driveway parking and gardens complete the property.

The property
The front door opens into a bright entrance hall with engineered oak flooring and clean, white-painted joinery. The staircase rises from the centre of the space, with a useful area beneath for everyday storage, and the layout is nicely intuitive: the main reception room sits to one side, while the kitchen/dining room opens from the other. A ground-floor cloakroom is set just off the hall, neatly positioned for guests and day-to-day use.

The kitchen/dining room is a generous, light-filled space that’s been designed to work beautifully for everyday life as well as entertaining. Shaker-style cabinetry in soft tones is paired with pale stone worktops, with a substantial central island providing relaxed seating, excellent prep space and additional storage, lit by three pendant lights overhead. Cooking is centred around a Rangemaster range with a stainless-steel splashback and extractor, while tall units accommodate the fridge/freezer and additional appliances. The dining area enjoys a feature gas stove.

At the far end of the kitchen/dining room, the space opens into a relaxed sitting area arranged around wide bi-folding doors. Pulled right back, they connect directly to the extensive balcony and make this whole end of the house feel beautifully open in warmer months. It’s an easy spot for a morning coffee, a glass of wine at the end of the day, or simply sitting with the doors open and the woodland as your backdrop. The balcony effectively becomes an extension of the room, generous enough for dining and seating, and one of the home’s real lifestyle highlights.

The utility room sits neatly off the kitchen, keeping the practical side of day-to-day life separate from the main space. It is well appointed with additional storage and worktop space, and works brilliantly as a dedicated laundry room. With its own door out to the balcony and external steps down to the garden, it is also ideal if you have a dog, offering an easy in-and-out route without cutting through the living areas. It is equally useful for hanging washing and keeping coats, boots and everyday essentials organised.

The sitting room is a generous, dual-aspect, well-proportioned space with a calm palette and plenty of room for a large seating arrangement. French doors open directly onto the balcony, drawing in natural light and giving the room a lovely outlook across the trees.

Upstairs, a simple, well-laid-out landing connects the bedrooms, each with its own character and plenty of flexibility for how you live day to day.

The principal bedroom is generous, with built-in wardrobes that keep the room feeling neat and well organised, along with beautiful views over the surrounding woodland. An en suite shower room sits just off the room, finished in a clean, modern style with a glazed shower enclosure, WC and wash basin with storage, all set against contemporary tiling.

The remaining three bedrooms are arranged with day-to-day living in mind: flexible, well-proportioned and easy to furnish. Two are comfortable doubles, while the third works beautifully as a child’s room, guest room or a dedicated home office.

The family bathroom has been recently updated with a clean, contemporary finish. A freestanding bath sits beneath the window with a sleek floor-mounted tap, creating a relaxed feel for evening soaks, while the modern vanity unit with countertop basin and chrome fittings keeps the look modern and uncluttered.

Outside
Set back behind a broad, neatly laid driveway, the house is attractive with good presence and kerb appeal, and a generous sweep of parking leads to the detached double garage. A level area of lawn softens the approach.

The standout feature is the southerly-facing balcony finished with composite decking, an extension of the living space, reached directly via the kitchen’s bi-fold doors or the sitting room, and positioned to take full advantage of the outlook across the protected woodland. It’s easy to imagine long lunches, evening drinks and quiet coffees here, with tree-top views that give real privacy and a sense of space beyond the boundary. Steps lead down to a good-sized garden laid mainly to lawn, with established shrubs and borders, creating an easy, family-friendly outdoor setting.
