Property Description

Sparrow House is a beautifully presented, detached family home that has recently undergone refurbishment. The property is situated in a tranquil and rural setting on the edge of Snelsmore Common, set at the end of a single-track, private road, and is accessed by a newly constructed gravelled driveway which provides access to the brick garage and off-road parking for multiple cars.

Beyond the front door lies a welcoming entrance hall with a fireplace, fitted cupboards and beautiful views of the garden to the front of the property. This leads into a corridor that gives access to the stairs rising to the first floor, a downstairs WC and a spacious kitchen/reception room with terracotta tiled flooring, farmhouse-style units, a range cooker, integrated dishwasher, and a central island with breakfast bar. The triple-aspect kitchen is flooded with natural light and offers different aspects of the large garden and open countryside beyond. The kitchen provides access to a well-fitted utility room, with external access to the garden, and flows into a large dining area with a woodburning stove. Double doors open into an impressive living room with characterful features, a large fireplace with a brick surround and westerly views over the open countryside.

Stairs rise to a light and airy first floor landing, which provides access to four bedrooms, two of which have en-suite bathrooms, a spacious and well-equipped office, and a family bathroom. The impressive principal bedroom boasts a wonderful aspect of the garden and the stunning countryside beyond from an elevated position, and benefits from a recently refurbished en-suite bathroom. The second largest bedroom also benefits from a recently refurbished en-suite bathroom and includes built in wardrobes and a dual-aspect over Snelsmore Common to the north and the garden to the east. The two further bedrooms are generous in size and are served by the family bathroom, whereby each bedroom offers a slightly different aspect of the garden and the open countryside views beyond.

Gardens and grounds

The front door opens to a large, stone paved patio which wraps around the entire house providing extensive space for outdoor dining and entertaining and is separated from the lawn by a brick retained wall. The garden is accessed via brick steps and is principally lawned with herbaceous and shrub borders. The garden is fully enclosed and has been recently fenced. The property also includes a greenhouse.

It is important to note that the photographs of the property were taken before the refurbishment works.
