Barrack Street, Bradfield, CO11

From the moment you step inside, the sense of space builds far beyond what you might expect, with a layout that has been thoughtfully opened and extended to create a home that works effortlessly for modern living.

The front of the house is arranged with balance and flexibility in mind. A more enclosed reception room provides a comfortable place to unwind, offering a quieter contrast to the main living space behind. It’s a room that naturally lends itself to evenings in, reading or as a dedicated snug, with a more intimate feel that sets it apart. Opposite, a separate room currently used for work offers a defined and practical space, positioned away from the main living areas yet still connected enough to feel part of the home’s overall flow.

As you move through, the house begins to reveal its real scale. The rear has been opened up into a wide, sociable environment where cooking, dining and everyday living come together without compromise. The kitchen is well considered, centred around an island that creates a natural gathering point, while the surrounding layout keeps everything within easy reach. It’s a space that works just as well for day-to-day routines as it does when entertaining, with a clear sense of purpose to each area without losing the overall cohesion.

Beyond this, the garden room changes the dynamic entirely. Glazed across the full width of the rear, with doors that fold back to open the space completely, it creates a direct connection to the outside that is hard to replicate. Natural light pours in from both the rear elevation and the rooflights above, giving the room a bright, open feel throughout the day. Currently arranged as a dining area, it’s a space that adapts easily with the seasons, offering an effortless extension of the garden during warmer months while remaining a light-filled interior space when closed.

Upstairs, the layout continues to feel well balanced. The main bedroom is positioned at the rear, where the outlook opens up across surrounding countryside, giving it a calm, settled feel that’s noticeably quieter. The remaining bedrooms sit to the front, both well-proportioned and versatile, whether used for family, guests or additional workspace.

The bathroom has been finished with a clean, modern approach, with the added practicality of both a separate bath and a dedicated shower enclosure. It’s a layout that works well for busy mornings as well as more relaxed use, with natural light helping to keep the space feeling fresh and considered.

Outside, the garden is where the setting really comes into its own. Enjoying a south-westerly aspect, it captures the afternoon and evening sun, with a terrace directly behind the house providing a natural place for outdoor dining. From here, the lawn extends towards open farmland, with no immediate interruption to the outlook. That sense of openness and privacy is what sets the property apart, giving a far more rural feel than you might expect.

Overall, this is a home that has been carefully evolved to prioritise light, flow and connection. The combination of flexible front rooms, a genuinely sociable rear layout, and uninterrupted countryside views creates something that feels both practical and quietly distinctive.

Entrance

Approached through a composite entrance door with carpeted stairs to the first floor straight in front of you. The study that leads to the open plan living space is on your left and the snug, on your right.

Study

3.76m x 3.24m

Found at the front of the home with a window to the front elevation and wood laminate flooring. The study is open to the living accommodation at the back of the home and from here, you can also access the ground floor cloakroom.

Open plan living

6.42m x 4.05m

A sociable, open-plan space that has been designed to work as the true centre of the home, bringing together cooking, dining and everyday living in one cohesive layout. The kitchen itself is arranged in a practical U-shape, fitted with shaker-style units and generous worktop space, with a integral hob beneath a stainless steel extractor and seperate oven. An opening above the sink draws in natural light helping the space feel bright and connected.

A central island, finished with a solid timber worktop and brick-built base, provides both a natural gathering point and informal seating, subtly defining the kitchen from the living area without interrupting the overall flow. Integrated and freestanding appliances are positioned neatly within the run, maintaining clean lines while keeping the space highly functional.

The sitting area has another opening for light at the rear and a part vaulted ceiling.

Garden Room

6.42m x 1.96m

A striking, light-filled extension that transforms the way the ground floor connects to the outside space. Glazed almost entirely along the rear elevation, with wide bi-folding doors spanning the full width, the room opens directly onto the terrace, creating an effortless transition between inside and out. When fully opened, the space becomes an extension of the garden itself, ideal for warmer months and outdoor dining.

Above, a series of rooflights draw additional natural light down through the space, ensuring it remains bright throughout the day, while also adding a sense of height and architectural interest. The flooring continues seamlessly from the main living area, reinforcing the open-plan feel and allowing the room to sit naturally within the overall layout.

Currently arranged as a dining area, there is ample space for a full table and chairs without compromising circulation, with clear sightlines back through to the kitchen and living space.

Snug

3.76m x 2.3m

A comfortable, more intimate reception room positioned to the front of the house, offering a quieter contrast to the open-plan living space beyond. The proportions allow for a generous corner sofa arrangement, creating a relaxed setting that lends itself well to evenings in, reading or a secondary TV room.

A window to the front elevation brings in natural light while maintaining a sense of privacy, with the overall feel enhanced by the deeper accent wall that gives the room a more grounded, cosy atmosphere. Soft flooring underfoot further reinforces this, making it a space that feels distinct from the harder finishes used elsewhere.

Cloakroom

Under the stairs with WC and hand wash basin.

Landing

Carpeted, connecting you to the three first floor bedrooms and to the bathroom.

First Bedroom

3.08m x 3m

A spacious carpeted bedroom at the back of the home with outstanding countryside views.

Second Bedroom

3.76m x 2.44m

Carpeted with an integral cupboard, found at the front of the home.

Third Bedroom

3.8m x 2.31m

Carpeted and a similar size to the second bedroom, also found at the front of the home.

Bathroom

3.07m x 1.8m

A bright, well-presented bathroom finished in a clean, contemporary style, offering both a separate bath and a dedicated shower enclosure, adding a practical edge for day-to-day use. The layout makes efficient use of the space, with a panelled bath positioned beneath the window, while the shower sits independently with a glazed enclosure.

A modern WC and vanity unit provide useful storage below, keeping surfaces clear and the overall look uncluttered. Tiling runs neatly around the bath and shower areas in a warm neutral tone, complemented by patterned flooring underfoot which introduces a touch of character.

Natural light filters through the rear window, helping the room feel fresh and airy, while chrome fittings and a heated towel rail add comfort. The overall finish is cohesive and low-maintenance, with a layout that suits both quick mornings and more relaxed use.

Front Garden

Predominantly laid to shingle for parking.

Garden

The garden has been carefully arranged to make the most of both its orientation and its outlook, creating a series of defined spaces that feel considered without ever being overworked. Immediately outside the house, a paved terrace provides a natural extension of the living space, positioned perfectly for outdoor dining or a quieter seating area, with direct access from the garden room reinforcing that connection between inside and out.

From here, the garden gently steps away, with planting and structure used to guide you through the space. Raised beds, established borders and a mix of ornamental planting introduce colour and texture throughout the seasons, while also giving the garden a sense of maturity that you don’t often find. There’s a balance between softer landscaping and more practical elements, with areas set aside for both relaxation and more hands-on use.

Further back, the space opens out onto lawn, drawing your eye towards the boundary where the setting truly reveals...
