4 Bedroom Detached House

PROPERTY SUMMARY A perfectly presented four-bedroom detached family home, ideally situated in the highly sought-after village of Barby, offering spacious and versatile accommodation throughout.

The property is entered via a glazed door beneath a storm canopy, leading into a welcoming entrance hall featuring decorative coving, dado and picture rails, with stairs rising to the first floor and useful understairs storage. From here, doors provide access to all principal ground floor rooms, including a conveniently located cloakroom/shower room fitted with a low-level WC, wash hand basin and shower cubicle.

The living room is a generous and versatile space, perfect for both relaxing and entertaining, featuring a characterful fireplace and enjoying plenty of natural light from windows to the front aspect. The dining room is equally inviting, centred around a feature fireplace and benefiting from a dual aspect, with a window to the front and French doors opening onto the rear patio-creating an ideal setting for more formal occasions or family gatherings.

The kitchen is well-appointed with a range of base units complemented by granite work surfaces, incorporating a one-and-a-half bowl sink, fitted electric oven, and a central island with breakfast bar and integrated NEFF induction hob. Additional features include an oil-fired Rayburn, space for appliances, and a door providing direct access to the rear garden.

To the first floor, the landing offers ample natural light and access to the loft space. The principal bedroom is particularly spacious, enjoying multiple aspects and a feature fireplace, creating a light and airy retreat. Three further bedrooms are well-proportioned, with bedroom two benefitting from built-in wardrobes. The family bathroom is attractively fitted with a roll top bath and shower over, wash hand basin set within fitted furniture, and a low-level WC.

Externally, the property continues to impress. To the front, a driveway provides off-road parking and leads to a garage and then into a fully insulated gym area with power and lighting, along with a useful utility space. The rear garden has been thoughtfully landscaped to provide a low-maintenance lawned area, complemented by a further seating space, planting, outside lighting, and a water tap. A side gate offers convenient access, while an enclosed oil tank is discreetly screened from view, completing this attractive outdoor setting. 

LOCATION The highly regarded village of Barby offers a strong sense of community and a range of useful local amenities. Within the village itself there is a well-regarded garden centre together with a separate plant nursery, a village store incorporating a post office, a village hall hosting a variety of local events and activities, and a historic parish church. The village also benefits from a pre-school and primary school, making it particularly attractive for families.
