Description

Situated within one of Downham’s most sought-after, tree-lined turnings, this exceptional five-bedroom family residence occupies an enviable plot of approximately two acres.

Set well back from the road and accessed via private electronic gates, the property offers privacy, security and exclusivity, with an impressive approach that sets the tone for the accommodation beyond.

The ground floor is designed for modern family living and entertaining, comprising a spacious entrance hall, four versatile reception rooms, a high-specification open-plan kitchen/dining/family room, ground-floor cloakroom, utility room and integral garage.

The beautifully appointed kitchen is the heart of the home, featuring a substantial central island for casual dining and socialising and seamlessly linking the cooking, dining and living areas. Extensive glazing — including two sets of bi-fold doors opening onto the gardens — floods the space with natural light. A contemporary glazed internal partition creates a stylish separation to an additional reception area while maintaining an open, light-filled feel.

The first floor offers five double bedrooms. Four have en-suite facilities and three include dressing rooms, creating a luxurious & family friendly space. The principal bedroom enjoys views over the rear gardens and surrounding grounds, with generous proportions enhancing the sense of space.

The integral garage has an electric roller door and benefits from a room on the first floor, ideal for extra storage.

Externally, landscaped grounds extend to approximately two acres. A generous sandstone-paved terrace provides an ideal setting for al fresco dining and entertaining, while expansive lawns and mature trees create a private, picturesque backdrop.

Equestrian facilities include a stabling block and a tack room, and an impressive outdoor bar further enhances the property’s appeal for entertaining and country living.
