6 Bedroom Detached House

Property Ref- LR0644

Set within grounds extending to approximately three-quarters of an acre, The Headlands is an impressive detached residence offering a rare combination of substantial family accommodation, extensive gardens, useful outbuildings and an exceptional level of energy efficiency.

Providing approximately 3,158 sq ft of accommodation, the house is arranged over three floors and offers remarkable flexibility, with six bedrooms, multiple reception areas and an impressive collection of additional spaces both inside and out.

The generous gravelled frontage immediately sets the tone, providing off-road parking for approximately six vehicles in addition to the integral garage. An EV charging point further complements the property's impressive environmental credentials.

A covered timber entrance opens into the spacious reception hall, where the scale of the house becomes immediately apparent. The flooring here was replaced with Karndean flooring in July 2026 and benefits from a 35-year warranty, while the attractive staircase rises through the centre of the property.

The hallway itself is far more than simply a transitional space, providing a welcoming central point from which the principal ground-floor rooms are accessed.

At the heart of the home is the generous kitchen/dining room, a fantastic everyday family space with ample room for both cooking and entertaining. The kitchen is fitted with an extensive range of solid oak-style cabinetry complemented by light work surfaces, while a substantial central island incorporates a breakfast bar, providing additional preparation space and an informal place for family and guests to gather. A Rangemaster cooker provides a fitting focal point to the cooking area, while the impressive proportions allow a full dining suite to sit comfortably alongside the kitchen.

From here, the accommodation flows naturally towards the rear of the property and into the sun room.

One of the most memorable spaces within the house is the sun room, beautifully finished with solid oak flooring and designed to make the most of the property’s wonderful setting.

A spectacular oversized picture window frames the garden and surrounding countryside almost like a piece of artwork, while high-performance glazing allows natural light to flood into the room.

A charming stable-style door provides direct access outside, allowing the gardens to become a natural extension of the living accommodation during the warmer months.

With its solid oak floor, abundance of natural light and uninterrupted outlook, this is a wonderful space in which to sit and appreciate the setting throughout the seasons.

The principal living room is another particularly impressive space. Generously proportioned and benefiting from dual-aspect high-performance glazing, the room enjoys excellent natural light while taking full advantage of the property's outlook.

A multi-fuel log burner creates a cosy focal point during the winter months, while air conditioning provides additional comfort during warmer weather

making this a genuinely year-round living space.

The ground floor continues with a separate reception room, providing valuable flexibility for modern family life. Whether used as a formal sitting room, playroom, snug, home office or hobby room, it allows different generations and family members to enjoy their own spaces without compromising the principal living areas.

A pantry and ground-floor WC complete the main accommodation on this level, while the integral garage provides further useful storage.

The impressive sense of space continues upstairs. The first floor provides four substantial bedrooms. This is a particularly strong family layout, with none of the principal first-floor bedrooms feeling like an afterthought. A generous family bathroom serves the bedrooms, while an additional en-suite provides further practicality for a busy household.

One of the property's most attractive architectural details can also be appreciated from this level: the beautiful arched feature window overlooking the landing, bringing character and additional natural light into the centre of the home.

The top floor provides another wonderful surprise. The principal bedroom is an extraordinary space measuring approximately 20'9" x 16'4", with its position within the roofline creating a wonderfully private retreat away from the remainder of the bedrooms. Rooflights draw natural light into the room, while fitted wardrobe storage and air conditioning make this a particularly comfortable and practical principal suite.

Also positioned on this floor is Bedroom Six, measuring approximately 9'8" x 9'3", together with a further bathroom.

The Hidden Study, perhaps the most ingenious feature of the top floor, however, is the dedicated study space. What was originally an exceptionally large storage cupboard has been cleverly transformed into a proper home-working area measuring approximately 9'9" x 4'11".

Rather than sacrificing one of the bedrooms to create an office, the owners have utilised this unusually generous space to produce a tucked-away workstation

ideal for home working, studying or homework.

It's one of those unexpected details that perfectly demonstrates just how much usable space this house offers.

Despite the considerable size of the property, The Headlands has been thoughtfully equipped with an impressive collection of energy-saving technology. There are 16 solar panels, complemented by battery storage, allowing energy generated during daylight hours to be stored for later use. The current owners advise that this system has enabled them to achieve effectively zero electricity bills, subject naturally to individual energy usage and tariffs. The property also features an Eddi solar power diverter, using surplus solar generation to heat the home's hot water, further maximising the benefit of the photovoltaic system.

An EV charging point is already installed, while all windows around the property have been replaced, further enhancing comfort and efficiency. Combined with air conditioning to both the living room and principal bedroom, this is a particularly well-equipped home for year-round living.

The grounds are arguably one of The Headlands' greatest assets.

Extending to approximately three-quarters of an acre, the gardens offer a wonderful combination of traditional lawn, productive growing areas, established planting and spaces designed simply to enjoy the countryside setting.

The garden contains an impressive selection of established edible planting, including a blueberry bush, raspberry bushes, apple tree and pear tree, alongside a dedicated vegetable patch and greenhouse. A beautiful twisted willow tree provides further interest, while an established wildflower garden encourages a more natural area for wildlife and seasonal colour. The substantial lawn creates plenty of room for children, pets, entertaining or simply enjoying the open surroundings, while the views beyond reinforce the property's wonderfully rural feel.

Few family homes offer such a useful collection of outbuildings. A substantial Dutch barn measuring approximately 15'10" x 10'1" provides excellent storage, while a separate workshop/bike store measuring approximately 12'5" x 8'11" is ideal for cyclists, DIY enthusiasts or anyone requiring dedicated hobby space. There is also a lawnmower garage, greenhouse and chicken coop, all of which contribute to the property's genuine countryside lifestyle credentials.

Tucked within the grounds is a detached log cabin measuring approximately 15'7" x 13'6". Fitted with its own log burner, this is a wonderfully atmospheric retreat away from the main house.

Importantly, the owners have deliberately chosen not to install electricity within the cabin, preserving it as a place to disconnect completely

somewhere to read, relax, enjoy the fire and escape the distractions of everyday life. It could make an exceptional writing retreat, meditation space, hobby room or simply somewhere to enjoy a glass of wine beside the log burner on a winter evening.

The Headlands is difficult to summarise simply by counting bedrooms.

Yes, it offers six bedrooms and approximately 3,158 sq ft of accommodation, but its real appeal lies in everything surrounding those headline figures.

It is the huge principal bedroom at the top of the house. The unexpected hidden study. The arched landing window. The picture window framing the garden. The multi-fuel burner glowing in the living room. The ability to harvest fruit and vegetables from your own grounds. The barn, greenhouse and workshop. The chickens. The peaceful log cabin without a television or plug socket in sight.

And alongside all of that sits a remarkably modern energy setup, with solar generation, battery storage, solar-assisted hot water and EV charging helping a substantial countryside home operate far more efficiently than its size might suggest.

For buyers looking for space, sustainability and a genuine lifestyle property, The Headlands offers something decidedly different.
