4 Bedroom Detached House

Overlooking the wooded grounds of Ellingham Hall, this impressive detached home occupies one of the most attractive positions within the village, combining a peaceful setting with a strong sense of space and outlook.

Constructed in the mid-1990s in a style designed to sit comfortably alongside a neighbouring period residences, the house offers a balance of traditional proportions and modern construction. It has since been significantly improved and updated, resulting in a home that feels both refined and well suited to contemporary family living.

A generous reception hall sets the tone on arrival, with Karndean flooring and a clean, considered finish that continues throughout. From here, the layout unfolds in a natural and well organised way. A separate study provides a flexible space for home working or an additional reception room, while the sitting room offers a more relaxed setting, centred around a wood burning stove and opening through to the garden room beyond.

To the rear, the property opens into a substantial kitchen dining and living space that forms the focal point of the house. This is a room designed around how people live today, offering excellent proportions and a strong connection to the garden. The kitchen itself is fitted with contemporary cabinetry and granite work surfaces, with space for a range cooker and American style fridge freezer, while the adjoining dining and garden areas create a seamless and sociable environment.

A separate utility room, with its own external access, provides a practical day to day entrance, supported by a cloakroom, while a water softening system adds further comfort.

Upstairs, four well-proportioned bedrooms are arranged off a central landing. The principal bedroom benefits from a well finished en suite, while the remaining rooms are served by a family bathroom that includes both a bath and separate shower.

Outside, the approach is defined by a generous brick weave driveway providing ample parking, leading through to gated side access and a further private area where a substantial double garage is positioned, complete with electric door, power and lighting.

The rear garden has been carefully arranged to create a series of usable spaces. A broad terrace extends from the house, ideal for outdoor dining, with a remote controlled awning providing shade when required. A raised decked area is positioned to take advantage of the evening sun, while established planting, including mature palms, adds structure and privacy. The garden is fully enclosed and also incorporates a discreet store and shed.

This is a home defined by its position, its outlook and the quality of its accommodation. The balance between formal and open plan living works particularly well, while the setting overlooking the grounds of Ellingham Hall gives it a point of difference that is rarely available. It is a property that offers both immediate enjoyment and long term appeal within a genuinely special village environment.
