Description
Northfield House is an impressive detached period property, thoughtfully updated to combine character and contemporary family living. Recent improvements include the reconfiguration of the kitchen and dining space with new kitchen and utility cabinetry, a recently installed external boiler and a full electrical re-wire.
The heart of the home is the wonderfully bright and spacious kitchen/dining room, enjoying attractive views from its triple aspect. The open-plan arrangement creates a superb setting for both everyday family life and entertaining, with a generous range of fitted cabinets, quality worktops and a butler sink. A peninsula breakfast bar provides informal seating and creates a natural connection to the adjoining dining area, with attractive wood flooring extending throughout.
A central entrance hall, with its striking tiled floor, leads to a beautiful sitting room overlooking the garden. A log-burning stove forms the focal point, while recessed alcove storage provides a practical yet sympathetic addition. A dedicated playroom opens into the pleasant garden room, creating a versatile area for family use. A useful utility room and guest cloakroom complete the ground floor.
Upstairs, a spacious landing leads to the fabulous principal bedroom suite, which enjoys a good degree of privacy and excellent storage. A generous dressing area incorporates a comprehensive range of fitted wardrobes, while the en suite shower room features a large shower enclosure.
There are four further well-proportioned bedrooms, offering excellent flexibility for family, guests or home working. The fifth bedroom is currently used as an office. A well-appointed family bathroom serves these bedrooms.
Outside, the gardens wrap around the property, combining level lawns with mature planting and a terrace providing an ideal space for outdoor seating and entertaining. A useful outbuilding provides additional storage, while planning permission is in place for a car port. A generous area of off-street parking provides space for several vehicles.
