House For Sale £1,100,000
Surrounded by 1/2 an acre of land and panoramic views over open countryside, this delightful five-bedroom detached home comes with a stunning parkland-style garden, a bespoke kitchen adjoining an open plan dining and garden room, two further receptions rooms, three en suites and an integral garage.
Originally built in 1914, the home was significantly extended in 1992 to create its current generous footprint.
While many of its original features have been preserved, the property has been upgraded with double-glazing throughout, oil fired central heating, Rockwool cavity insulation, and two cast-iron wood-burning stoves.
Making An Entrance
Enjoy views over the fields as you approach the house via a tree-lined road, turning in through brick posts demarking a gravelled in-and-out driveway.
There’s access to a large integral garage and plenty of room to park several cars, all screened and shaded by hedgerow and a range of mature trees.
The neatly rendered exterior complements the natural tones surrounding the home, while brick accents and pops of colour to the window ledges and doors pair nicely with the gabled roofline and tiled canopied windows.
Welcome Home
Step through the main entrance into a bright and spacious hallway with storage, where white-painted stairs rise to a galleried landing. Doors connect directly into three lovely reception rooms and a downstairs cloakroom with basin and loo.
There is also a second hall accessed from the front and rear that offers an easy internal route to the garage, utility room and kitchen – perfect when returning home with shopping or sports equipment or coming in from the garden with muddy shoes.
Quality Family Time
You’ll find a cosy living room just left of the entrance hall, where warm neutral tones promote a relaxing atmosphere and reflect light from the large casement window overlooking the front. A high picture rail, arched shelving alcove and an open chimney breast add further warmth and character.
On the right side of the house is a more formal sitting room with a bay window providing a serene spot to watch the garden wildlife. A picture rail and ceiling rose combine with wall up-lights and a cast-iron wood burner with a striking wooden mantelpiece, creating a quiet elegance that chimes with the rest of the home.
Straight ahead from the hallway, you’ll discover a fantastic open plan dining room extending into a beautiful garden room filled with natural light from glazed double doors to the terrace and a series of glazed and Velux windows.
The dining area features a wood-burner set in contemporary surround, tree-themed wallpaper and solid wood flooring that flows into the garden room.
With the kitchen adjoining, you can easily imagine this sociable space filling up for summer parties that inevitably spill out onto the immaculate lawn.
Bespoke Style
An excellent variety of bespoke Shaker-style cabinets, handmade by Harborough Kitchens, wrap around the kitchen, which is bright and airy thanks to a glazed door to the tiled secondary hallway, internal window to the garden room, and a big window to the rear.
Recessed downlights illuminate the quartz worktops, Karndean flooring, and breezy feature wallpaper. The kitchen comes with fitted Neff appliances and a Fisher Paykel dishwasher, while a well-equipped separate utility room with storage, space for appliances, and a worktop with metro tiled splashback can be found across the hall.
Retreat Upstairs
A galleried landing links to four double bedrooms decorated with a soft neutral palette – and a single with storage that could be used as an office, nursery or walk-in wardrobe.
The master overlooks the garden and comes with three floor-to-ceiling integrated wardrobes and an en suite shower room.
The second and third doubles also feature in-built storage and share a Jack-and-Jill en suite shower room, while bedrooms four and five are served by a modern family bathroom with a separate corner shower and panelled bath, basin and loo.
Private & Serene
Doors from the garage, secondary hallway and garden room open onto an extensive paved terrace and manicured lawn replete with mature parkland trees, an abundance of carefully arranged flower beds and shrubbery and neatly clipped hedgerow.
To the rear, you’ll find a raised vegetable bed to support your culinary efforts in the kitchen.
From big family barbeques and evening drinks on the patio to summer picnics and lazy afternoons reclining under a leafy canopy, you’re sure to make countless happy memories in this unoverlooked and enchanting outdoor haven.
