4 bedroom detached house for sale

Period farmhouse surrounded by established grounds with a generous, detached chalet outbuilding. Description Believed to date back some 200 years, this handsome period farmhouse occupies a private setting within mature, established gardens. Rich in character, the house combines charming and well-proportioned accommodation with a substantial timber chalet, gated driveway and double garage. The ground floor is arranged around a generous reception hall which could equally serve as an additional reception room, with a guest cloakroom and stairs rising to the first floor. The double-aspect sitting room is particularly inviting, centred around an impressive inglenook-style fireplace with wood-burning stove. Casement doors open directly on to the rear terrace and garden, while access to the cellar is discreetly positioned within the room. At the heart of the house is the farmhouse-style kitchen and breakfast room, a warm and characterful space fitted with an extensive range of cabinetry, timber worktops and an enamel sink, alongside a recessed Rangemaster. There is ample room for a large table and chairs, while a walk-in pantry provides valuable additional storage. Casement doors create an easy connection with the rear terrace, ideal for outdoor dining during the warmer months. A rear hallway provides a practical secondary entrance from the driveway, with an adjoining utility room. The accommodation continues into a generous family room, with doors opening on to the terrace and garden. The first floor offers four bedrooms, including three well-proportioned doubles. The principal bedroom is notably generous, with an en suite bathroom incorporating a bath and large walk-in shower. The second bedroom is another substantial double, overlooking the rear garden, while the third is a comfortable double with a front aspect. The fourth bedroom, also overlooking the garden, has the benefit of built-in storage. The remaining bedrooms are served by an elegant family bathroom with a double-ended roll-top bath, complemented by a separate shower room with a large walk-in shower. Gardens and Grounds Wrought-iron gates open on to a sweeping gravelled driveway, providing ample parking and leading to the detached double garage. The farmhouse sits comfortably back from the road, framed by an established front garden of lawn, mature trees and shrubs, with evergreen planting creating a high degree of natural screening. A pathway leads discreetly through mature hedging to the rear garden, where broad lawns are enclosed by established trees and planting. A terrace immediately behind the house provides an ideal spot for outdoor dining and entertaining. Within the grounds are a summer house together with a substantial timber chalet equipped with power and lighting, offering excellent flexibility as a home office, studio, gym or additional recreational space.
