7 bedroom detached house for sale

Nestled into a pretty wooded hillside with sweeping views across hilltops to the horizon and along a quiet lane of detached properties you'll find a very special home that offers masses of versatile space, including the chance to facilitate multi-generational living.

From the front, this incredible home deceives you into thinking it's a standard, detached bungalow. But there's nothing standard about this house, it's actually an incredible and truly unique, substantial home that sprawls across four fabulous floors, offering seven bedrooms and four bathrooms, and hiding some wonderful surprises.

There's a hidden lower floor that boasts a massive party room with a bar, kitchen, sauna and hot tub plus huge sliding glass doors out to the sizeable swimming pool. The next floor up is packed with bedrooms and bathrooms and a terrace with breathtaking views across the valley.

The ground floor offers more bedrooms plus a generous and connected lounge and dining room plus a large kitchen diner that both open out onto another sun-drenched terrace with views. Finally, two bedrooms and a shower room occupy the loft space and outside can tempt you further with two garages, oodles of parking, covered BBQ area, and potting shed.

This much-loved home is a retro gem that is now so rare to find in properties of this size and calibre. The cool retro vibe wafts through each of the levels and has been preserved as well as updated to allow a new owner to step straight in and enjoy living in these substantial spaces but for someone who likes to put their own interior stamp on a property, this huge house can deliver that opportunity too.

Stepping outside into the rear garden is seamless via the wall of sliding glass doors of the lower ground floor party and games room; guests can effortlessly wander from indoor to outdoor to take a dip in the generous swimming pool or mingle with party guests.

If the weather is favourable every day is like a holiday at this incredible property. Grab a lounger and relax next to the water with a book whilst sipping a cocktail for total peace and relaxation while admiring the rural view, or welcome all the family and friends who arrive looking to party the day, evening and, probably, the night away.

The garden is as unique and sprawling as the house, with an area for cooking undercover at the outdoor BBQ area, a massive terrace created on the roof of the games room to set up alfresco dining on a large scale, and more intimate, undercover areas for enjoying the outdoor space, whatever the weather.

Although close to local amenities the house is wrapped in breathtaking and panoramic views of the wooded hillsides that roll to the distant horizon that make it feel more rural than village. You could get lost in the mesmerising view as it changes through the day and the seasons, but the outdoor space has so much to offer there's a tour to complete.

There's a fish pond to find, a garage to explore that includes an inspection pit, outdoor buildings that could happily host a workshop or studio, or both, a potting shed, a lawned area, plus access to the indoor hot tub and sauna that are added features that guests, as well as owners, will thoroughly enjoy.

Of course, such a special home will frequently be receiving guests so the sizeable area for off-road parking is a welcome bonus as is the sizeable outdoor space and multiple terraces to facilitate, without doubt, the best parties in the area.
