5 bedroom detached house for sale

This spacious family home offers versatile accommodation, perfect for large families or those needing a self-contained annexe or ground floor space to work from home. The heart of the home is the large kitchen breakfast room, thoughtfully extended by the current owner to create a welcoming and sociable family space. The well-fitted kitchen features integral appliances and a breakfast bar that separates the kitchen from the dining room, which flows into a cosy seating area. At the front of the house, a charming living room with a log burner provides a warm and inviting space for family gatherings. From the kitchen, a door leads to the converted and extended garage, now consisting of two rooms that can serve as a bedroom and a separate living room. The utility room, with its own entrance, could easily be adapted as a kitchen within this self-contained space. Upstairs, you’ll find five double bedrooms, with the principal bedroom also offering an ensuite. Enhancing the tranquility of the room, are floor-to-ceiling windows and doors leading out to a lovely balcony space that is a perfect spot from which to enjoy the distant harbour views. There is an additional family bathroom that includes both a shower and a bath, ideal for busy family routines. Outside, a large terrace offers a peaceful retreat for relaxation and family barbecues, with steps leading down to a secure level lawn area where children can play until their hearts are content. To the side, there is a useful storage room for all your family’s needs. The front driveway provides ample off-road parking behind secure gates for several cars, ensuring convenience for the whole family.
