About this property
PROPERTY SUMMARY
Set within approximately three-quarters of an acre of beautifully landscaped gardens, The Brambles is an impressive detached family home offering privacy, generous living space and exceptional flexibility in the sought-after village of Fen Drayton.
Presented by ‘The Collection’ by Harvey Robinson, this extensively extended home combines four to five bedrooms, two substantial bedroom suites with en suite facilities, and a choice of living spaces suited to family life, entertaining and working from home.
At its heart is a generously proportioned open-plan kitchen and dining area, providing a welcoming space for everyday meals and spending time together. A separate lounge and formal dining room offer space to entertain or unwind, while the garden room, currently used as a playroom, adds further flexibility. A dedicated home office provides a separate setting for work or study.
The bedroom accommodation is equally adaptable. Two spacious suites, each with its own en suite, are complemented by further bedrooms and a family bathroom, offering options for growing families, visiting guests or households seeking space for different generations.
Outside, mature trees, established planting and expansive lawns create a wonderfully secluded setting. Patio areas provide space for outdoor dining and summer entertaining, with ample room for children to play and keen gardeners to enjoy. A separate garden studio, equipped with power and lighting, offers additional scope for home working, creative pursuits or hobbies.
A private driveway provides ample off-road parking and access to a detached double garage. Beautifully presented throughout, with high-quality fixtures and fittings and plentiful natural light, The Brambles offers a compelling combination of space, privacy and flexibility in an established village setting close to local amenities and countryside walks.
Viewing is highly recommended to appreciate the accommodation, gardens and lifestyle this distinctive home offers.
Plot size approximately 0.75 acres, subject to survey.
