5 bedroom detached house for sale

What is a home? It isn’t bricks and mortar or walls, ceilings, fixtures and fittings; it’s a feeling, a sense you get as you walk room to room, a calm reassurance. Long Acre has it, whatever it is. It’s warmth, light and character embrace you as you step through the front door. The rim lock and its antique skeleton key, the well-trodden quarry tiled entrance; all reminders of its 17th century origin.

The rich, mahogany coloured floor leads you into the elegant sitting room, with rustic fireplace and French doors out to the dining patio; covered by a wooden pergola with cascading wisteria. Just imagine autumn and winter at Long Acre; enjoying the comfort in open fires and hearty meals cooked in the family kitchen. Festive season in this home would be something to behold; Christmas trees in every reception room, fairy lights draped along the walkway creating a twinkling outside canopy, the crunch of frosty footprints through the garden, memories being made.

Functionally there is a plethora of space here, with reception rooms a plenty: which is important in a family home. To be able to work from home in a quiet space whilst the children are on holiday or for older ones to have their own hangout. But also having a place to gather, a central family hub; the large kitchen and dining area provides just this.

Picturesquely set, the romantic garden wraps around the property. The walled garden to the side with its covered walkway and circular pond with delicate fountain: it feels as if you are walking through the pages of a Jane Austen novel. The garden extends into a large lawn, bordered with hedges and filled with fruit trees, plants and flowers. Tucked away through the rose laden archway is a glorious growers garden; with box hedged beds overflowing with colourful dahlia and majestic allium.

Swap the hustle and bustle for village life with green fields, walks beneath the woodland canopy and rural calm. This five bedroom home in Syerston is waiting for you.
