5 bedroom detached house for sale

This deceptively spacious five bedroom detached Georgian style family home is set within a small cul-de-sac of properties and benefits from a wealth of spacious, interchangeable internal accommodation totalling over 2,500 sq ft (2,880 including the double garage).

Approach to the home is via double gates onto an extensive block paved driveway which allows parking for several vehicles. Directly ahead is a detached double garage which has a single up and over door. Running along the front perimeter is an immaculately tended lawn, interspersed by small individual, shaped bushes. A path leads to the front door. Once inside you're greeted by a good-sized entrance porch which has storage to one side and double doors into the main entrance hall. This is particularly sizeable with stairs running to the first-floor accommodation and has had an attractive dark flooring laid. A useful cloakroom has been fitted with a two-piece suite comprising of a low level wc and wash hand basin. Half height tiling has been added to the walls. To the right-hand side is the principal reception room, the living room, which commands impressive dimensions, in this case 22ft by 15ft and has a fireplace with inset wood burning stove creating a real focal point to the room. Given the dual aspect orientation an abundance of natural daylight floods the space from both sides. Across the opposite side of the hallway are a further three reception rooms, interchangeable in their usage dependent on the preference and needs of prospective buyers. Under their current guise they have been utilised as a secondary sitting room (which would be ideal for a dependant relative or teenage son/daughter), a more formal dining room and a separate study. Beyond here, and housed at the rear of the property, is a kitchen/breakfast room which has been fitted with a comprehensive range of light-coloured floor and wall mounted units with darker contrasting work surfaces over. Several integrated appliances have been cleverly woven into the design including a Rangemaster cooker with extractor unit positioned over, and dishwasher. Space for additional free-standing appliances include an oversized American style fridge/freezer. A continuation of the same flooring has been laid tying the two spaces together seamlessly, whilst room for a table and chairs create a real entertaining/sociable area. Completing this level is a utility room which has been fitted with a range of base units with complementary work surfaces over. Space has been afforded for a washing machine and tumble dryer.

Moving upstairs the first-floor landing gives way to all the accommodation on this level, the master of which sits to the rear and looks out across the side aspect. Furniture placement is especially flexible as it extends to 15'10ft by 15'0ft and benefits from a separate dressing area which has an extensive run of shelved and railed wardrobes, in addition to a stylishly refitted en-suite. This comprises of a double walk-in shower enclosure, panelled bath, low level wc and a wash hand basin set into an extra wide vanity unit. The look is contemporised further by a heated towel rail, recessed ceiling spotlights and a combination of plain and mosaic tiling. The second bedroom occupies the front elevation and enjoys similar benefits to the master in terms of its own built in wardrobes space and en-suite. This has been fitted with a shower enclosure, low level wc and wash hand basin. Sleek white tiles adorn the splashback areas. Of the remaining three bedrooms two have been installed with fitted wardrobe space and are of double proportions, whilst the fifth is a good-sized single overlooking the front. These are all serviced by way of a four-piece family bathroom incorporating a shower cubicle, panelled bath, low level wc and pedestal wash hand basin. Modern tiling has been added to the splashback areas.

Externally the rear garden has been thoughtfully designed and immaculately tended with a generous paved patio area which butts up directly against the rear of the house, making the perfect entertaining or relaxing space. Beyond here is a lawn which has deep borders running around the boundary edge stocked full of mature plants, shrubs, and bushes. Timber fencing encloses the property with gated side access.
