A large modern family house, nicely set, while tucked away on the edge of the village.

Description

A substantial detached modern house, with generous family accommodation, in this prestige location, developed within the grounds of the former Ely Grange country house estate.

Also, there is an impressive kitchen/dining room of approximately 21'9 by 18'0 with outlook to the front. Upstairs, there are up to seven bedrooms, served by two bathrooms and two shower rooms, set over two floors, with three of these ensuite, including the principal suite, which benefits from fine views.

To the front, a key feature is the secure automated entrance gate, leading to car parking and turning space and the detached double garage. Also, there is a fine countryside aspect from the rear large paved terrace and conservatory, which overlook the formal garden and large paddock beyond, blending together seamlessly, with mature trees framing the borders. In total, overall, the plot reaches about 3.58 acres.
