4 bedroom detached house for sale

THE GROUND FLOOR: WHERE THE STORY BEGINS
The property is approached through a welcoming conservatory porch which opens into a bright hallway, beautifully finished with oak flooring and a staircase rising to the first floor. To the right, the drawing room sets the tone for the house, a wonderfully elegant space with a triple aspect outlook to the south, west and north. Sunlight pours through three sets of French doors which open directly onto the gardens, while a feature fireplace with built-in display shelving and cupboards on either side adds both charm and character.

Flowing from the hallway, the formal dining room offers a refined setting for entertaining and leads gracefully through an archway into the family room or study, a versatile room with direct access to the garden. From here, the layout continues into a practical utility room, thoughtfully equipped with plumbing for appliances, a Belfast sink, and a door to the dog and boot room. A cloakroom completes this side of the house.

At the very heart of the home lies the kitchen and breakfast room. This warm, welcoming space is designed around a recessed chimney breast with a gas-fired Aga, complemented by a range of fitted cupboards, a breakfast bar with an integrated dishwasher, and space for a fridge-freezer. French doors open from here into the conservatory, a tranquil spot from which to enjoy morning coffee while soaking in the views of the gardens that wrap around the house.

THE FIRST FLOOR: WHERE DREAMS ARE MADE
From the hallway, the staircase rises to a generous landing that connects four light-filled double bedrooms. The principal bedroom is an especially inviting retreat, facing south and west to capture views of the gardens below. It is enhanced by fitted wardrobes and its own en suite bathroom complete with a Parker bath, WC and vanity unit. The second bedroom, open to the eaves, has a delightful character of its own and could easily be adapted as a guest suite The third bedroom features an original Victorian fireplace with built-in cupboards, bringing a touch of period charm, while the third also enjoys built-in storage. Serving the first floor is a stylish family bathroom, beautifully fitted with a slipper bath, shower enclosure, WC and wash basin.

THE GARDENS & GROUNDS: A LIVING TAPESTRY
The gardens are the defining feature of this property, a true sanctuary arranged in a series of enchanting 'chapters' that guide you seamlessly from one secluded space to another. Each area has its own distinct atmosphere, creating a tapestry of colour and texture throughout the seasons. Specimen plants, mature shrubs and established trees give structure and variety, while hidden within the grounds are delightful surprises, including a heated swimming pool and a charming garden bothy.

The approach to the house is via a gravel drive from Upper Common Road, leading to a turning circle that sets the tone for the property's charm. To the rear, steps rise to a field acquired in recent years, offering additional space and privacy, with the advantage of its own separate access.

The gardens can be enjoyed as they are, a paradise for the keen horticulturalist, or simplified for easier maintenance. Whether as a private retreat, a gardener's dream, or a base for a self-sufficient lifestyle, the house and its grounds combine character, versatility and beauty in equal measure.
