5 bed detached house for sale

High Street, Kimpton SG4

Property Insight:

Set back from the High Street, this wonderful family home offers a fantastic amount of elegant and contemporary living space in a sought-after village location. The impressive entrance hall sets the tone for the rest of this beautiful home, with fresh décor complementing the smart wooden flooring that continues through much of the downstairs, contributing to the wonderful flow and sense of space. Large windows and glazed doors introduce plenty of natural light, making the entrance hall feel bright and welcoming, and a large storage cupboard provides handy storage for coats and shoes.

The downstairs provides all the space you need for busy family life. The triple aspect sitting room provides the perfect space for both relaxing as a family and spending time with friends. This well-proportioned room has a neutral colour scheme and warm wooden flooring. The brick fireplace and wood burning stove provides an attractive focal point, as well as the opportunity for many cosy winter evenings in front of the fire. The room has ample space for adding comfy sofas and additional furniture to create a wonderfully relaxing setting. Large patio doors lead through to the conservatory – a large room with wonderful garden views. Currently set up as an additional reception room and benefiting from retractable blinds, it’s a versatile setting that would also make a fantastic playroom. The wooden flooring makes the space feel like a continuation of the sitting room and the French doors to the garden make indoor-outdoor living simple during the summer months.

At the heart of the house is the expansive kitchen/dining room – an airy space with a modern aesthetic. The contemporary charcoal grey cabinetry provides a contrast against the white quartz work surfaces and white subway tile splashbacks, and the room is completed by stone-effect dark grey floor tiles, crisp white walls and a vertical radiator to create a stylish and practical space. Integrated appliances include two wall-mounted double ovens, a gas hob with wall-mounted extractor hood, a fridge and dishwasher. It’s easy to picture yourself perched at the kitchen island enjoying your first freshly brewed coffee of the morning, or perhaps a glass of wine in the evening. The dining area has plenty of room for a large table and chairs and is perfect for entertaining friends or simply enjoying family meals together. A glazed door helps make this a bright space and leads to the patio outside – ideal for enjoying alfresco meals and summer entertaining – and features of the room include a lovely pendant light fitting and stylish window shutters. Adjacent to the kitchen is a handy utility room which features an integrated 50/50 fridge-freezer and cabinetry in the same style with space for a washing machine and tumble dryer. An exposed brick wall is an attractive design feature and there is a door to the garage as well as garden access – a handy feature for any busy family, particularly if you are returning home with a muddy dog and/or children! The utility room also benefits from retractable ceiling blinds, offering added practicality and convenience.

The downstairs is completed by a beautifully bright study with garden views - which is currently being used as a hobby room but would be perfect for homeworking - plus a contemporary cloakroom with wooden flooring, modern white sanitaryware and a stylish grey vanity unit.

A staircase with a contemporary striped carpet and large window leads upstairs. Here, the wide carpeted landing leads five well-proportioned bedrooms. The principal bedroom has a warm and relaxing feel and features neutral décor and carpet. Fitted wardrobes provide plenty of storage and the bedroom benefits from a modern ensuite shower room featuring a contemporary white suite and striking chequerboard wall tiles.

The guest bedroom is another large room with a tranquil dove-grey colour scheme and plenty of space for furniture. Its triple aspect makes it bright and airy and it also benefits from its own ensuite shower room featuring modern white sanitaryware, a white vanity unit and a black and white colour scheme. The remaining three bedrooms are all tranquil spaces with ample space for furniture.

The family bathroom has a traditional aesthetic and features a classic white bathroom suite, including a full-size bath with shower over, wood-effect flooring and brown and white chequerboard wall tiles.

The beautifully landscaped gardens are a key asset of this wonderful home. Full of features, the garden includes a lawn - which is perfect for young children to play - a variety of seating areas including a block-paved terrace next to the house and a secluded decked area, as well as a wide variety of mature trees and shrubs. It’s a wonderful space for keen gardeners and a superb setting for both entertaining friends and enjoying time outdoors. To the front of the property is a double garage providing plenty of storage, well-maintained borders and a large, block-paved driveway with space for multiple vehicles.

This superb family home offers a fantastic amount of versatile living space and a wonderful opportunity to enjoy life in this beautiful village.
