5 bedroom detached house for sale

This attractive and substantial family home is situated on Lodge Park, on the edge of the ever popular village of Whittlebury. The property has been thoughtfully and sympathetically extended in recent years, creating versatile and well-balanced accommodation with an emphasis on open-plan family living. Set upon a generous corner plot, the house enjoys gardens to three sides and is positioned within a small and quiet cul-de-sac of just seven homes.

The front door opens to a welcoming entrance hall, offering plenty of space to receive guests. A cloakroom / WC is set just off the hall. From here, the accommodation flows easily through to the principal living areas.

The heart of the home is the impressive open-plan kitchen and dining space. Beautifully arranged for modern family life, the kitchen is centred around a large island unit which provides a natural division between cooking and dining, whilst maintaining a sociable and open atmosphere. There is ample space for family mealtimes and entertaining, with doors opening directly onto the garden and terrace beyond.

Adjacent is the main sitting room, a comfortable and stylish space featuring a striking feature wall and a log burning stove, creating a warm and inviting focal point. A snug sits just off the main living area and offers a cosy retreat for quieter moments. To the front of the house is a further reception room, which is perfectly suited as a playroom, home office or additional sitting room.

Beyond the kitchen is a generous utility room with space for the usual appliances and plenty of additional storage. A door leads through to the converted garage, now arranged as a workshop with Velux roof lights and underfloor heating, making it a bright and practical space for a variety of uses. Underfloor heating extends across much of the ground floor, adding to the comfort and efficiency of the home.

The staircase rises to the first-floor landing where there are five well-proportioned bedrooms. The principal bedroom is a particularly pleasant room and benefits from a walk-in wardrobe / dressing room as well as a well-appointed ensuite shower room. A second bedroom also enjoys the advantage of an ensuite, whilst the remaining bedrooms are served by the family bathroom.

Outside, the property occupies a generous corner plot with gardens extending to three sides of the house. The rear garden is easily accessed via bi-folding or patio doors from three of the reception areas, allowing the outside space to feel like a natural extension of the accommodation during the warmer months. A large paved terrace provides the ideal setting for outdoor dining and entertaining, with a good-sized lawn that continues around to the side of the property.

The fourth side of the plot accommodates a range of useful garden sheds. There is also off-road parking to the side, and the plot offers further potential for extension, subject to the necessary planning permissions being obtained.
