Description
A distinctive and immaculately presented five-bedroom detached residence, occupying a prime position at the heart of the desirable village of Reach. Overlooking the village green and set between the historic Church of Saint Ethelreda and the renowned, community-owned Dyke’s End public house, this unique home blends modern design with traditional charm.
The ground floor is centered around a striking split-level living and dining space, bathed in natural light from full-height bi-folding doors and large windows. The lower living area features elegant parquet wood block flooring, a wood-burning stove with slate hearth, and seamless access to the rear garden—perfect for entertaining or relaxing. The elevated dining area continues the stylish design and enjoys pleasant side and rear aspects.
A recently updated double-aspect kitchen serves as the heart of the home, offering a comprehensive range of sleek, contemporary cabinetry, high-spec Neff appliances, a five-ring ceramic hob, and a central island with breakfast bar. Tiled flooring, ample work surfaces, and space for an American-style fridge/freezer complete this well-equipped space.
The former garage has been thoughtfully converted into a generous ground floor double bedroom, featuring wood-effect flooring and a private en suite wet room—making it ideal for guests, extended family, or flexible use as a home office or studio.
Upstairs, four further double bedrooms are arranged around a central landing with wood flooring and access to a large, partially boarded attic. Each bedroom enjoys excellent natural light, with two rooms benefitting from dual aspects. A modern family bathroom with a sleek white suite, shower-over-bath, vanity storage, and full tiling serves the upper floor.
Additional benefits include a discreet utility area beneath the stairs, cloakroom with WC and basin, and a substantial attic space accessed via an electric drop-down ladder—offering potential for further development, subject to relevant permissions.
Externally, the home is approached via wooden double gates with a brick boundary wall, leading to a block-paved frontage with established trees and shrubs. The rear garden is partly walled and enjoys a high degree of privacy, featuring a lawn, patio area, covered storage space, and beautiful views toward the historic church ruins—enhancing the tranquil village setting.
