A Spacious, Stylish Family Home in the Heart of Bitteswell

Hortons are excited to bring to market this beautifully extended four-bedroom detached home, tucked into a generous corner plot in the charming and ever-popular village of Bitteswell. Stylishly finished throughout with high-spec touches, this house combines modern open-plan living with countryside views and thoughtful details like Terrazzo flooring, a Juliet balcony, and a dreamy main bedroom suite complete with its own dressing room and en-suite bathroom.

Ground Floor

Entrance Hall
Step through the front door into a bright and welcoming hallway where striking Terrazzo flagstone flooring leads the way into the main living space. There is access to a convenient downstairs cloakroom, as well as a useful understairs storage cupboard. A carpeted staircase rises to the first floor, adding a sense of openness to this inviting entrance.

Cloakroom
Ideal for guests and day-to-day use, the downstairs WC includes a vanity unit with an integrated wash basin and is finished with warm wood-effect flooring for a contemporary touch.

Family Room – 13'9" x 11'
This bright and flexible living space enjoys lots of natural light from its dual-aspect windows. The wooden flooring and ceiling coving give the room a polished yet cosy feel, making it ideal as a snug, playroom, second lounge, or even a dedicated home office.

Kitchen / Sitting / Dining Room – 27'9" x 20'8" max
This open-plan heart of the home has been cleverly zoned for cooking, dining, and relaxing perfect for both family life and entertaining. The kitchen features classic cream shaker-style units paired with elegant granite worktops. A large central island offers plenty of worktop space, houses a double Belfast sink, and includes a built-in dishwasher and breakfast bar. A Rangemaster cooker with six gas burners sits beneath a sleek Caple extractor, and integrated appliances include a Caple built in microwave, fridge, and freezer.

The room flows seamlessly into the sitting and dining areas, where two sets of bi-fold doors open out onto the garden, flooding the space with light and connecting indoors with the outside beautifully. A log burner, set on a slate hearth with a rustic beam mantle, provides a charming focal point and adds warmth during the colder months.

Utility Room
Located off the hallway, the utility room mirrors the kitchen’s shaker-style cabinetry and provides space for laundry appliances, keeping everything practical and out of sight.

Family Bathroom
Beautifully finished, the family bathroom combines luxury and functionality. It includes a freestanding bath perfect for long soaks, a corner rainfall shower with a glass enclosure, and a sleek vanity unit with an inset wash basin. A Victorian-style bath adds a touch of character and style, a chrome heated towel rail and WC complete the space.

Outside

Front
The front of the property features a combination of block-paved and tarmac driveway, providing generous parking in front of the detached garage. Low-maintenance planting, including established shrubs, adds kerb appeal and greenery.

Rear & Side Garden
Wrapping around the property, the South East facing garden is perfect for outdoor living. A paved patio with cobblestone edging creates an ideal spot for dining and relaxing, while well-kept lawns and a bark-chipped play area provide space for children or pets. Mature trees and shrubs give the garden privacy and charm, and open views stretch out over a paddock and the rolling countryside. The garden is enclosed with a mix of brick walls, close-board fencing, and post-and-rail fencing, giving it a traditional, secure, and family-friendly feel.

Garage – 15'11" x 10'
