Description
What makes this property truly special is not immediately visible from the outside.
Extending to well over 4,400 sq ft and tucked away within a peaceful cul-de-sac setting, this substantial 5-bedroom, 3-bathroom detached residence offers a rare combination of scale, flexibility and extraordinary garden connection.
Designed around natural light and beautifully framed views of its South-facing grounds, the home delivers an effortless sense of space and potential, rarely found in this location.,
For buyers seeking room to grow, entertain and create a forever home, the opportunity here is exceptional.
Step through the front door and the home reveals itself: soaring proportions, bespoke glazing, handcrafted architectural details and a remarkable relationship with the gardens that transforms everyday family living.
A vast, 30 foot wide entertaining room is the jewel in the crown of this lovely home, with a connected modern open-plan kitchen and family living spacs designed for living.
The contemporary Siematic kitchen is extensively appointed with premium Neff appliances, three ovens, induction hob, integrated refrigeration, boiling water tap, Insinkerator and a generous breakfast bar ideal for everyday life. A useful utility and boot room adjoins the kitchen, perfect for a caterer`s kitchen and perfect for taking care of laundry needs, as well as providing direct access to the double garage.
Throughout, the sense of space, light and flow is exceptional; the view to the gardens from this spot in the home is truly calming, and one shared by two interconnected reception spaces, offering the same views, connectivity and remarkable flexibility. It creates the perfect environment for large-scale entertaining, relaxed family living or future reconfiguration.
A separate snug, to the front of the house, offers a closed space for home-working, studying or as an escape to watch TV in peace.
A large cloakroom leads through to the downstairs WC, which completes the offering for the ground floor.
Ascending to the first floor, the home`s sense of space continues with a bright and welcoming landing framed by large windows.
The principal suite occupies a particularly impressive position overlooking the rear gardens. Generous in scale and thoughtfully arranged, it offers a true sense of retreat from the rest of the home.
A spacious bedroom is complemented by extensive dressing accommodation and a luxurious en-suite bathroom featuring a freestanding bath, walk-in shower and dual vanity.
Framed by beautiful garden views, it is a calm and private sanctuary designed for relaxation and retreat.
The remaining bedrooms are all well-proportioned and highly versatile, easily adapting to the evolving needs of modern family life. Whether utilised as children`s bedrooms, guest accommodation, dedicated dressing rooms or home offices, each space offers excellent size, flexibility and natural light.
A spacious family bathroom, and the overall layout, provides an exciting opportunity for a future owner to further enhance and personalise the accommodation, if desired.
One of the most compelling aspects of this property is its versatility.
A large suite above the double garage provides semi- independent space, comprising a double bedroom, dressing area and ensuite bathroom. A self-contained, independent annexe/home working area would be an excellent use of the space -with the appropriate consents- to add value and appeal.
The fundamentals are outstanding: the location, plot, gardens, proportions and natural light are already in place, providing the perfect canvas from which to create an exceptional long-term family home.
Properties offering this combination of scale, privacy, gardens and location are increasingly rare.
For buyers able to recognise substance, opportunity and long-term value, this represents one of the area`s most exciting family home prospects.
A home defined by light.
Elevated by its gardens.
Ready for its next chapter.
Offered with no onward chain. Viewing is highly recommended.
