Description

Attractive detached home at the top of the cul-de-sac with views onto Pickmere lake.

Description

This spacious, detached double fronted family home is tucked away in the corner of a quiet cul de sac, enjoying superb views over Pickmere Lake.

The property is approached via a generous driveway capable of accommodating several vehicles, together with a double garage providing additional parking or storage. The entrance to the home is particularly impressive, featuring a grand hallway with oak flooring and an imperial staircase that creates an immediate sense of scale and sophistication.

Upon entering the property, you are welcomed by this impressive hallway, with refined wooden flooring and a central staircase rising to the upper floor. Leading off from the hallway are two reception rooms, one featuring an open fire, and the second enjoying attractive views over the lake. The beautiful open plan kitchen forms the heart of the home and has been finished to a high specification. Crafted by Smallbone, it features an integrated Aga, Siemens appliances and a large American style fridge/freezer. A spacious dining area is positioned to one side, with a table overlooking the lake — an ideal setting for everyday family dining.

A separate utility room leads off from the hallway and provides side access to the garden. To the rear of the property there is a spacious garden room/ dining room which offers stunning views and across the garden. This floods with natural light, creating a calm and inviting atmosphere with french doors opening directly onto the garden and enhancing the sense of seamless indoor–outdoor living. Beyond the garden room is a snug, perfect for cosy evenings. Double doors from the lounge connect back to the utility room, which in turn provides access to the study.

To the upper level, the principal bedroom enjoys stunning views over the lake and features fitted wardrobes together with a luxurious Duravit en suite, complete with a large bath, separate shower and a walk in wardrobe. The second and third bedrooms benefit from a Duravit en suite. The fourth bedroom boasts lovely lake views and has easy access to the family bathroom.

The outdoor space comprises an established garden, predominantly laid to lawn to the sides and rear, with mature planted borders and shrubs. A flagged patio area to the rear and side provides space for al fresco dining. There is also a useful storage area to the side for kayaks and outdoor equipment for those who enjoy water sports on the lake, or for storing garden furniture when required. It benefits from a spacious double garage to the front of the property.

This family home is truly worth viewing. Not only for its generous accommodation and elegant decor, but also for the outstanding views it offers across the lake and surrounding fields.
