4 bedroom detached house for sale

Set within an exceptional half-acre plot in a delightfully tucked-away semi-rural setting, just moments from the amenities and riverside charm of Bourne End, Hunters Gate is a superbly appointed detached family residence of rare quality and presence with an abundance of natural light throughout. Beautifully presented and meticulously maintained, this distinguished home offers an enviable balance of cosy interior living and outstanding landscaped grounds.

Approached via a substantial private driveway providing generous parking for numerous vehicles and with ample space for the construction of a large double garage, the sense of arrival is both impressive and discreet. The property enjoys a peaceful position, enveloped by mature greenery, yet remains conveniently close to village life; an ideal harmony of seclusion and accessibility.

Internally, the accommodation has been arranged to provide versatile and elegant family living. The ground floor features a well-proportioned bedroom accompanied by a stylish shower and cloak room, perfectly suited to guests, multigenerational living, or flexible work-from-home arrangements. Beyond this, three beautifully presented reception rooms create a wealth of adaptable space. Down a few steps is the principal sitting room, with its impressive double-aspect orientation bathed in natural light and offers a welcoming setting for both formal entertaining and relaxed evenings and flows perfectly out to the gardens at the rear. Additional reception areas can be adapted for use as a study, snug, playroom, or formal dining room.

At the heart of the home lies an impressive open-plan kitchen and dining space; a sociable and inviting environment designed for modern living. Generous in scale and finished to a high standard, it provides the perfect backdrop for everyday family life as well as larger gatherings, seamlessly connecting indoors with the large patio and well designed garden beyond.

Ascending to the first floor, three further bedrooms continue the theme of comfort and quality. Two benefit from well-appointed ensuite facilities, offering privacy and a touch of boutique refinement, while the remaining bedroom is equally well-proportioned and beautifully presented.

The exceptional garden enjoys a wonderfully sunny orientation, capturing light throughout the day and creating a series of beautifully arranged outdoor spaces designed for both relaxation and entertaining. Immediately adjoining the house, and accessed directly from the sitting room via elegant French doors, lies an inviting sunken terrace; an intimate and sheltered setting perfectly suited to al fresco dining or summer gatherings with friends and family. Stretching across the width of the property, a charming walled garden bed richly planted with a variety of flowering borders and established shrubs provides colour, structure and seasonal interest. This delightful feature leads naturally to a second patio area, accessed from the kitchen and breakfast room, offering an ideal extension of the indoor living space and a superb vantage point from which to enjoy the garden. A third terrace, positioned to capture the warmth of the evening sun, is reached via shallow curved stone steps. From here, one can take in the stunning far reaching views over the valley, and closer across the manicured lawn which is bordered by mature hedging and interspersed with fruit trees, ensuring both privacy and a picturesque outlook. Beyond the hedge lies a gravelled garden area, currently arranged with 4 raised vegetable beds. This versatile space could equally be adapted to serve as a children’s play area and the side footpath provides convenient access to the front of the property. To the right-hand side, a dedicated boiler room and further side access complete the practical elements of this beautifully curated outdoor setting. The rear garden is fully enclosed and secure for children and pets with gated access.

Hunters Gate is a sophisticated home offering versatile space, privacy, and impeccable presentation within a serene yet highly convenient setting. Viewing is highly recommended to fully appreciate all this home has to offer. We sometimes say the marketing of property cannot do it justice and you really need to step inside this home to appreciate its charm, character and adaptable accommodation and plot!
