5 bedroom detached house for sale

Open 9am-9pm, 7 Days A Week!

An outstanding and substantial period family home, beautifully extended to provide exceptional space and versatility, situated on the highly sought-after Pear Tree Lane within comfortable walking distance of Whitchurch town centre and the railway station, making it ideal for commuters while still offering privacy and a wonderful sense of space.

The property occupies a generous, mature and private plot and is approached via electronically operated double gates, leading to extensive off-road parking and two detached double garages, making the property particularly appealing for car enthusiasts or those requiring significant storage and workshop space.

A particularly attractive feature of the property is the superb self-contained annex situated above one of the detached double garages, offering excellent flexibility for extended family living, guest accommodation or independent living. The annex is accessed via a private external side door leading into a ground floor breakfast kitchen, which also provides internal access to the double garage below. From the kitchen, stairs rise to the first floor where there is a spacious lounge/dining room, a generous double bedroom and a modern en-suite. The substantial double garage beneath also offers excellent potential to be incorporated into the annex accommodation, subject to the necessary planning permissions and building regulations, creating a much larger self-contained living space if desired.

Internally, the beautifully arranged accommodation within the main house is both spacious and versatile. The welcoming entrance hallway immediately showcases the character of the period property with its striking Minton tiled flooring and generous proportions. The ground floor offers an impressive range of living space including a spacious sitting room, a large living room, an impressive double-glazed conservatory overlooking the gardens, and a charming reading room or study.

At the heart of the home is a superb refitted open plan family dining kitchen designed for modern living and entertaining. This exceptional space features bi-folding doors opening out to the garden, creating a seamless connection between indoor and outdoor living. From the kitchen, double doors lead to a further substantial living room, while a convenient guest cloakroom/WC completes the ground floor accommodation.

To the first floor, the property continues to impress with five generous double bedrooms. The principal bedroom benefits from its own en-suite bathroom and enjoys French doors opening onto a private balcony overlooking the rear garden — a wonderful place to relax and enjoy a morning coffee or an evening glass of wine while taking in the peaceful garden setting. Bedrooms two and three are served by a well-appointed Jack and Jill bath/shower room, while the floor is further complemented by a truly stunning family bath/shower room featuring a central freestanding roll-top bath, creating a real showpiece within the home.

Externally, the property sits on a substantial and private plot with beautifully established gardens that wrap around the house, bordered by mature trees and shrubs which provide excellent privacy. The front garden is laid mainly to lawn, while the side garden is predominantly paved with cobbles and complemented by flower beds. A gate leads through to a further secluded “secret” garden, currently used as a chicken run but offering excellent potential to become a productive vegetable garden.

The large private rear garden is mainly laid to lawn and provides an ideal space for family enjoyment. Steps lead down to a substantial garden store/workshop along with a dedicated play area.

In short, this exceptional and versatile family home must be viewed in order to fully appreciate the scale of accommodation, the superb plot, extensive garaging and the flexibility provided by the annex accommodation.
