4 Bedroom Detached House

Discreetly positioned at the end of a small and peaceful cul-de-sac, this substantial detached residence occupies a commanding position, immediately conveying a sense of privacy, scale and exclusivity. From the moment the gated entrance opens and the sweeping driveway comes into view, it is clear that this is a home of rare presence.

The property sits within beautifully maintained grounds approaching one acre (stms), wrapping seamlessly around the house and offering an exceptional degree of privacy. Mature hedging, established planting and manicured lawns create a calm, almost park-like setting, while subtle features such as a natural spring and a carefully designed, semi-circular ornamental pond add depth and character to the garden. Despite its peaceful, semi-rural feel, the home remains centrally positioned within the village, with local amenities, schools and bus links all within comfortable walking distance.

A raised terrace forms the social heart of the garden and is home to the outdoor heated swimming pool, a standout feature that elevates the lifestyle on offer. Adjacent to the pool is a substantial and highly versatile games room measuring approximately 13’5” x 28’4”, fitted with a bar area, snooker table, dartboard, WC, shower room and useful storage cupboard. This space offers excellent flexibility, whether retained as an entertainment space or adapted for an office suite or subject to planning converted as a self-contained annexe, this remarkable space is sure to appeal to all! A covered area just to the front of the games room provides clear potential for further enhancement, such as an outdoor kitchen or pizza oven, creating a natural extension of the leisure facilities already in place.

Stepping inside, the sense of scale continues immediately. A vaulted entrance porch leads through to grand double doors, opening into a striking reception hall that sets the tone for the remainder of the house. The sweeping staircase is a true centrepiece, while the width and flow of the hallway underline the generous proportions found throughout. The accommodation extends to approximately 3100 sq. ft. of internal living space, excluding the double garage.

The sitting room is a superb space, enjoying a triple-aspect outlook with two bay windows, floor-to-ceiling double glazing and uninterrupted views across the fabulous garden. A feature fireplace provides a natural focal point, while double doors connect both to the reception hall and the formal dining room, allowing the layout to work equally well for everyday family living or more formal entertaining.

The dining room is equally impressive in scale, featuring its own bay window and a series of double doors that connect through to the kitchen/breakfast room while also creating a visual link back to the hallway, a distinctive and characterful detail. The kitchen/breakfast room, while not newly installed, has been immaculately maintained and remains highly functional, offering extensive storage, eye-level double oven, generous worktop space and a central island with integrated hob and microwave. The design was clearly ahead of its time and continues to work exceptionally well for modern family life. A double glazed bay window and door open directly onto the terrace, reinforcing the connection between the house and garden.

Adjoining the kitchen is a well-appointed utility room with additional storage, garden access and an internal door leading directly into the double garage. A study and ground-floor cloakroom complete the ground floor accommodation, providing excellent flexibility for home working.

Upstairs, a spacious landing gives access to four bedrooms, a four-piece family bathroom and an additional shower room. Three of the bedrooms are notably generous, each of a size that would comfortably serve as a principal bedroom in many homes and two benefit from deep built-in wardrobes.

The principal bedroom is a particular highlight, offering exceptional proportions, a private balcony overlooking the garden, a large walk-in dressing room and an en-suite. This suite provides a level of comfort and separation rarely found in village homes and completes the accommodation in fitting style.

Overall, this is a home that combines privacy, scale and lifestyle in a way that is increasingly difficult to find, offering the tranquillity of a tucked-away setting, extensive leisure facilities and beautifully maintained grounds, all while remaining closely connected to village life and the wider area.
