4 Bed Detached House For Sale

An intriguing detached architect-designed house, built in 1979. Set in a wonderful large garden in the village centre, it offers flexible accommodation.


Description

The Garden House is a fabulous opportunity for buyers to acquire a wonderful family home, right in the centre of Slinfold village. It was originally constructed in 1979, and benefits from having flexible accommodation, with bedrooms on the ground and first floor. There is massive potential for improving and enlarging the house (subject to the usual consents), and given its outstanding location, is a rare opportunity to acquire a fine village home.

Entering the house, you're greeted by a central hallway that forms the spine of the home, dividing into two distinctive wings. Most of the accommodation is arranged across the ground floor, providing flexible and accessible living options.

To your right you access the dining room, leading through to the living room. This immediately impresses with its dramatic vaulted ceiling. There's also a wood burner framed by a striking fireplace. A wall of windows floods the space with light and shows the beautiful gardens beyond. Off the living room, a conservatory extends the living space, perfectly placed for relaxed, uninterrupted views of the grounds.

Moving through the dining room and vaulted ceiling; enter the stylish fitted kitchen. Here, Shaker-style units are paired with warm woodblock worktops and a central island, creating a welcoming and practical space for cooking and entertaining. A utility room is beyond, with matching cabinetry and space for appliances. This leads out to the garden and adjoins a ground-floor double bedroom, ideal for guests or multi-generational living.

Back through the hallway, the opposite wing of the house overlooks a tranquil ornamental pond. Here are two further bedrooms, a traditionally-styled family bathroom, and a large storage cupboard.

Upstairs, the first-floor offers a flexible principal suite and a bathroom, and there’s ample room for a dressing area or nursery. A small balcony extends from the bedroom, offering views over the grounds.

There is huge scope to improve and extend the house, subject to the usual consents. One of the main features of the property is its outstanding garden, which amounts to just over an acre. There's a very good degree of privacy; you approach the house via a discreet driveway that's tucked between other properties.

There is parking for four or more vehicles, along with a separate, detached garage and smaller outbuildings. Nearby, the pond leads to the garden with its lawns, rustic areas and vegetable plots.
