5 Bed Detached House For Sale

Alderbrook, once a modest dormer bungalow, is now unrecognisable, having been transformed into a stylish family home that ticks all the boxes for open-plan living, modern luxury and everyday practicality. Buyers will feel reassured by the extensive upgrades, including a new roof, new boiler, new windows throughout, and, under the current owners, an impressive two-storey extension. This addition has created a magnificent open-plan kitchen, dining and sitting area at the heart of the home.

Real wood flooring leads through to a beautifully designed kitchen featuring a central island with under-counter lighting, creating a warm and inviting ambience in the evenings. Integral appliances are seamlessly fitted within the cabinetry, including two Neff slide-and-hide ovens, a dishwasher, wine cooler and induction hob. Quartz worktops adorn the surfaces, complemented by a copper-finish tap that ties the scheme together.

The dining area offers generous space for a large table, positioned in front of bi-fold doors on two sides, perfectly linking the indoors with the garden during the summer months. The sitting area, open plan yet naturally zoned by an archway, also features bi-fold doors opening onto the garden, along with a modern gas stove that brings cosiness and warmth during the winter. Anthracite grey radiators match the frames of the windows and doors, adding a contemporary touch.

Just off the kitchen is a generous utility room with ample storage for coats, wellington boots and everyday essentials, as well as additional wall cupboards. It also provides a great space for pets to dry off after muddy winter walks.

The owners have created a designated ground-floor bedroom with a modern shower room across the hallway, allowing for complete single-level living if desired. A further room on this floor offers flexibility, ideal as an additional bedroom, office or, as currently used, a children's playroom.

Upstairs, the home offers three double bedrooms and a single. The principal suite is a standout feature, with floor-to-ceiling windows that flood the space with natural light, a gorgeous en-suite shower room, a dressing room, and French doors opening onto a balcony overlooking the gardens. A modern Jack and Jill shower room serves the two remaining double bedrooms and the single bedroom, currently used as a home office.
