Positioned at the end of a quiet no-through road, this impressive five-bedroom detached home enjoys a peaceful setting beside open fields and countryside beyond, while remaining within walking distance of local schools and the town centre. It is a superb family home, offering spacious and versatile accommodation together with a private driveway and detached double garage.

The layout offers excellent flexibility for modern living, with accommodation arranged over three floors that can easily adapt to changing family needs. Whether used for growing families, teenagers seeking their own space, guest accommodation or working from home, the property provides a highly versatile environment for a wide range of lifestyles.

The property is set behind a neatly planted foregarden bordered by hedging, while an attractive five-bar gate to the side opens onto a generous double-width driveway leading to the detached double garage, providing ample parking for several vehicles.

Of particular note are the 26 roof-mounted solar panels with battery storage, adding an element of modern efficiency and helping to reduce energy costs. Over the past three years the system has generated approximately 9–9.5 MWh of electricity annually, supplying around 75% of the property’s total electricity consumption.

The attractive red brick façade and generous proportions create a striking first impression. Inside, the welcoming entrance hall provides an impressive introduction to the home and immediately conveys a strong sense of space, setting the tone for the well-balanced living spaces arranged throughout the house.

Oak floorboards run throughout the hallway and principal living areas, painted a soft grey and gently stripped back to reveal their character, while the kitchen benefits from Amtico flooring.

The hall leads through to the impressive kitchen/breakfast room, a space of excellent proportions that forms the natural heart of the home, perfectly suited to family life and entertaining.

The kitchen features granite worktops, built-in appliances and a large breakfast bar that naturally draws people together. A Stoves range with seven burners sits along one wall, making this both a highly sociable space and a cook’s dream. Off the kitchen is a well-designed utility room with beautiful larder shelving made from Parisian floorboards, together with a further door leading out to the side of the property.

Large doors open onto the raised terrace, allowing the kitchen to flow easily into the garden and creating a home that connects beautifully with outdoor living.

At the front of the house, the main living room is centred around a striking bespoke library-style fitted bookcase spanning the main wall, offering extensive shelving and integrated space for books, media and display. The room flows seamlessly into the dining room, with further doors opening onto the garden, creating a wonderfully sociable space ideal for entertaining and family gatherings.

A further reception room, currently used as a home office, enjoys views over the front garden through a large window that fills the room with natural light. This flexible space could equally work well as a study, playroom, snug or even a ground-floor bedroom, particularly as it sits adjacent to the downstairs cloakroom.

A striking staircase with dark balustrades rises through the house, enhanced by feature wallpaper that adds character and style. The stairwell creates an appealing sense of height and light, leading to a bright spacious landing with a window overlooking the surrounding area.

The accommodation is arranged over three floors, offering five well-proportioned bedrooms and excellent flexibility for family living.

From here, steps lead down to the enclosed garden, offering a generous and attractive space that is both practical and easy to maintain. The layout provides plenty of room for children to play or for hosting family and friends.

The detached double garage can also be accessed directly from the garden, adding a practical and convenient element to this well-planned outdoor space.

Front

Approached at the very end of a quiet no-through road, the property enjoys a peaceful position with a lovely sense of privacy. The outlook opens out towards the adjacent countryside, offering a wonderful connection to the rural landscape right on the doorstep.

The front of the property is equally practical as it is attractive, with a large private driveway providing parking for several vehicles and leading to a detached double garage. Access is through timber double paddock-style gates, which create an appealing entrance while adding a useful element of security and enclosure.

Combining generous living spaces, five bedrooms arranged over three floors and gardens designed to be enjoyed throughout the seasons, this is a superb family home in a particularly peaceful setting.
