5 bed detached house for sale

The Kilns, Reed, Royston, Hertfordshire SG8

Reed is a charming village criss-crossed by minor country lanes, peppered with a variety of houses, many period. There is an exceptional community, outstanding cricket club, and a highly regarded church choir.

6 The Kilns is tucked away in the corner of this attractive residential location and is, perhaps, the best located. The house was completed in 2019 by a local firm of high regard, Ford Builders, who are based in Saffron Walden. There is an unusual amount of space around the property and a generous approach, driveway and additional parking and a pond.

The house was built to reflect modern living, most notably a very large kitchen/breakfast/family room - the kitchen is very well equipped with some Siemens appliances and a generous quantity of base and wall storage cupboards and work surfaces. The drawing room is at the back of the house, again a large room, well-proportioned with bi-folding doors to the outside. There is also a study, ground floor cloakroom, a well-equipped utility room with a door out to a double garage with an automatic up-and-over door.

From the entrance hallway, there is a staircase which leads to the first and second floor. There are three double bedrooms on the first floor including the master bedroom suite, and two on the second floor. These are served by four bath/shower rooms which are of high quality.

Outside, there is generous parking and a double garage. A side gate leads to an enclosed rear garden which faces west and backs onto a field, and there is a terrace at the back of the house for seating and entertaining.

Agents note: The property has a 10 year build warranty with approximately 3 years remaining.

The Greenwich Meridian runs through Reed village at 0 degrees longitude, meaning that Reed is in the western hemisphere and the adjoining village to the east to Barkway is in the eastern hemisphere, which gives anybody the chance to walk from the western to the eastern hemisphere in a matter of minutes.
