4 Bed Detached House For Sale

This handsome and spacious detached house is situated in the heart of the pretty village of Broughton. The property was built by the current owners and completed in 2005. There is a very pleasing balance between reception spaces and number of bedrooms, and with all the practical spaces one could need, this is a perfect family home. The accommodation consists of four ground-floor reception rooms, four bedrooms, two bathrooms, a shower room, downstairs WC, kitchen and utility room all adding up to almost 2,000 sq ft of accommodation. There is underfloor heating throughout the property and house-owned solar panels have a feed-in tariff with a yearly income.

The welcoming central entrance hall is laid with beautiful oak flooring which flows through the majority of the house. To one side the generous sitting room is lovely and light courtesy of its dual aspect and features a double sided wood burner inset within a stunning brick surround. The open plan kitchen/dining room is a wonderful space with wood burner featuring again and doors opening both to the side of the property and onto the conservatory. The kitchen itself has plenty of base and eye-level units with integrated appliances including oven, gas hob, dishwasher and under-counter fridge. Alongside the kitchen is a useful utility room offering more storage with space and plumbing for a washing machine and access to the garden. The substantial conservatory provides excellent further versatile reception space with double doors opening out onto the rear garden while the family room lies to the front of the house and can be accessed from the utility room. A downstairs WC completes the accommodation on the ground floor.

Stairs rise to the first floor where the bedrooms radiate from an impressive central landing. The principal suite is a superb space with a very large bedroom, walk-through dressing area and an en-suite bathroom. The second bedroom also has an en-suite shower room and built-in wardrobe, and there are two further bedrooms and a spacious family bathroom.

Outside to the front there is parking for up to three vehicles on the driveway which is set behind hedgeing, providing a good deal of privacy. The rear garden can be accessed down either side of the house and is mainly laid to lawn with a patio area directly behind the house, ideal for outside entertaining. A substantial shed provides useful storage.

The current owners had historical planning permission to build into the loft to provide a further bedroom and en-suite. This is an option that could be explored further by a new owner.
