5 bedroom detached house for sale

A distinguished five-bedroom residence, constructed from beautiful locally quarried stone and crafted to a high specification and featuring generous open-plan living spaces, private gardens, off-road parking and garaging, within a select development in the old Barleythorpe village.

Accommodation - The spacious ground floor will open into a welcoming entrance hall leading to a generous open-plan living kitchen. Designed by Intone Design of Oundle, this bespoke kitchen will be complete with a walk-in pantry and ample space for both everyday living and entertaining. The expansive layout will feature two sets of bi-folding doors opening out to the gardens, flooding the interior with natural light and seamlessly connecting indoors and out. From the kitchen, double doors will lead into the main reception room, which will also enjoy its own access to the garden through a further set of bi-folding doors. Together, these areas will create an exceptional and sociable living environment — perfectly suited to modern family life. Practicality has also been carefully considered, with a large utility and boot room providing access to the integral garage, along with a useful study ideal for home working. A convenient cloakroom completes the ground floor.

Upstairs, the first floor will provide five generously proportioned double bedrooms. The primary bedroom suite is particularly impressive, extending to approximately 580 sq. ft, and will include a spacious bedroom area, dressing room/walk-in wardrobe, and an ensuite bathroom. Bedrooms two and three will share a Jack and Jill ensuite shower room, while bedrooms four and five will be served by a family bathroom.
