Whempstead Road, Benington

Simply Homes are thrilled to present the opportunity to acquire this exceptional 5,200+ square feet family home situated on just under an acre plot, located in the desirable village of Benington.

Fully renovated and redesigned only eight years ago, the house benefits from the use of ground source heat pumps and underfloor heating. The use of these systems is reflected in the property's impressive EPC rating of B.

Upon entering through the front door, a well-proportioned hallway welcomes you with a striking hand-made staircase and balustrade. The ground floor boasts a remarkable kitchen diner with living area, which is complemented by a spacious living room that is flooded with natural light due to its triple aspect. The ground floor further benefits from a cinema room, a good-sized study, an office, fourth bedroom, utility room, shower room, and pantry.

Ascending to the first floor reveals three generously sized bedroom suites. The principal suite features a spacious dressing room, a three-piece en-suite, and a balcony offering panoramic views of the gardens. The remaining two suites mirror each other in size, each with dressing areas, built-in wardrobes, and en-suites, all with large windows framing picturesque views of the surrounding countryside.

Entered via an electric gate, the property opens to a sizable gravel driveway with ample parking. The rear gardens, primarily laid to lawn, showcase mature trees and shrubs, along with an extensive patio perfect for entertaining or al-fresco dining.
