5 bed detached house for sale

Chancery Close, Ripley DE5

Situated on the popular Church Farm development in Ripley, this executive detached home offers generous, well-balanced accommodation throughout. From four double bedrooms and two reception areas to a landscaped rear garden and the potential for a fifth bedroom, it’s a property designed around modern family living.

Step inside and you’re welcomed by a spacious entrance hallway, complete with a smart under-stairs storage solution and a guest WC. The living room sits to the front of the property, where a bay window fills the room with natural light, while a feature wood-panelled media wall with an inset electric fire provides a stylish focal point.

The heart of the home is undoubtedly the impressive open-plan dining kitchen. Fitted with a modern range of units, integrated appliances and a breakfast bar, there’s plenty of room for everything from busy weekday breakfasts to catching up over dinner. Double doors open directly onto the rear garden, making it easy to enjoy the outside space throughout the warmer months. A separate utility room offers additional storage and workspace, together with internal access to the garage and a door leading outside.

Originally built with a double garage, the current owners have converted half of the space to create an additional reception room, currently used as a playroom. Whether you need a home office, snug, games room or hobby room, it’s a space that can easily adapt to suit your lifestyle, while the remaining half continues to provide useful garage storage.

Upstairs, all four bedrooms are comfortable doubles. The principal bedroom has been enhanced by incorporating the original fifth bedroom to create an impressive dressing room, resulting in a superb main suite complete with its own en suite shower room. Should a fifth bedroom be required in the future, the layout could easily be adapted to reinstate it. The second bedroom also benefits from an en suite shower room, while the remaining bedrooms are served by the family bathroom, fitted with a three-piece suite including a shower over the bath.

Outside, the property enjoys a lawned front garden together with off-street parking for two vehicles, with scope to create additional parking, subject to any necessary consents.

The landscaped rear garden has been thoughtfully designed to create somewhere you’ll genuinely enjoy spending time. Porcelain paving, raised rendered planting beds and an artificial lawn combine to create an attractive, low-maintenance setting, with plenty of space to relax, dine outdoors or enjoy a barbecue. Completing the garden is a timber-built gazebo with power, lighting and heating, providing a fantastic outdoor space that can be enjoyed throughout the seasons.

Church Farm continues to be one of Ripley’s most sought-after developments, with a doctors’ surgery, a choice of well-regarded schools, Ripley town centre and a wide range of everyday amenities all within easy reach. Combining flexible accommodation with a location that’s always in demand, this is a home ready for its next chapter.
