About
Step into a home where thoughtful design and natural light combine to create a space that feels both expansive and intimately welcoming.
Castles Estate Agents are proud to represent this individually designed five bedroom detached residence, set on approximately one-third of an acre, was commissioned as a Potton Home and has since been beautifully enhanced by its current owners.
The flow of the ground floor is immediately apparent from the moment you enter.
A warm and inviting hallway laid with rich Canadian wood and framed by solid oak doors, sets the tone for the quality found throughout.
From here, the home opens effortlessly into the principal living spaces.
To one side, the lounge offers a cosy yet elegant retreat, centred around a striking dual-aspect fireplace that connects seamlessly with the dining area.
A wood burner sits at its heart, casting a soft, ambient glow that can be enjoyed from both rooms, perfect for winter evenings and relaxed gatherings.
Moving through, the kitchen/dining room forms the true hub of the home.
The kitchen itself is both stylish and practical, featuring a beautiful slate work surface & island, a wide range of cupboards & units, a classic aga cooker and a specially commissioned drinks cabinet, ideal for entertaining.
The dining area has been thoughtfully extended to create a stunning garden snug: A light-filled sanctuary with triple-aspect windows and underfloor heating, where the boundaries between indoors and outdoors gently blur.
From the kitchen, the layout flows naturally into the family room, a versatile & comfortable space for everyday living.
Off this room, the owners have added a further extension, again with triple-aspect windows and underfloor heating creating another bright and tranquil area that can be adapted to suit a variety of needs, from a playroom to a peaceful sitting area overlooking the garden.
A separate study provides a quiet, dedicated workspace, tucked conveniently away from the main living areas. Upstairs, the first floor continues the home’s sense of space and balance.
Five well-proportioned bedrooms are arranged around a central landing, offering both privacy and practicality for family life.
The principal bedroom benefits from its own en-suite, while the remaining bedrooms are served by a family bathroom, all thoughtfully positioned to make the most of the layout shown in the floor plan.
Outside, the property is equally impressive. A gated entrance leads to a generous gravel driveway with parking for multiple vehicles, complemented by a detached double garage positioned at the front.
To the rear, the mature garden unfolds into a private oasis, featuring a mix of sun-soaked terraces and shaded retreats, framed by established trees, shrubs, along with a variety of planting that provide both beauty and seclusion throughout the seasons.
This is a home that has been carefully designed, lovingly improved & perfectly balanced, offering both grandeur and comfort, with a layout that flows effortlessly for modern family living.
