6 bedroom house for sale

In a fantastic position for road and rail travel, this detached house has been a much-loved family home for almost two decades and in that time has been fully updated by the vendor. The property has a substantial footprint of more than 3,600 sq ft, with scope to improve or develop further (subject to permissions). The house has a number of character features, such as a stunning brick inglenook fireplace and exposed timber beams. Of particular note is the kitchen, which forms the heart of the house and is well suited to entertaining friends and family. Externally, a generous plot of about 2.9 acres includes attractive and secluded gardens, grass paddocks and stabling.

Interior
The substantial house is well presented internally: the bright and airy rooms are well proportioned throughout, and there is a feeling of light and space. On the ground floor the house is entered through an internal porch area that leads to the reception rooms: a library/music room, a sitting room with its fabulous inglenook fireplace; the connecting formal dining room, with two sets of glazed doors opening to the garden; and a study, which could equally be used as a snug or children’s playroom. The open layout of the ground floor is great for entertaining, with the ability to open up the entire ground floor if desired. The kitchen, with its substantial island/breakfast bar and modern, Shaker-style cabinetry, is a lovely room, well designed for family life and filled with natural light. Further accommodation includes an adjoining snug, a laundry room, boot room and cloakroom. Upstairs all six of the bedrooms are a good size and two are en suite, with most having built-in storage. A family bathroom and separate shower room complete the accommodation.
