Find Out A Little More .... - Glenvara is a detached, double-fronted house, fully rendered and recently fitted with new windows including with acoustic glass at the front. An oak-framed entrance porch opens into a spacious central hallway with a staircase rising to the first floor. The hall provides access to the cloakroom, home office and sitting room, with the latter approached through double doors, maintaining the open flow of the ground floor.

At the heart of the house is an impressive kitchen/dining/living room and snug extending almost 40 ft across the rear elevation. Finished with ceramic wood-effect flooring, the room is designed around family life and entertaining, with three electric Velux windows with rain sensors, two pairs of French doors and large bi-fold doors drawing in natural light and opening directly onto the garden terrace. When fully opened, the room connects naturally with the outside, extending the living space towards the garden and the uninterrupted views beyond.

The kitchen is thoughtfully fitted with a large larder cupboard, central island with breakfast bar, under-counter drinks fridge, filtered kettle tap, marble white quartz work surfaces, twin Butler sinks and integrated Neff appliances including an induction hob. Alongside is a well-equipped and fitted utility room providing a rear access to the drive. The entire ground floor benefits from underfloor heating, with the system designed to allow straightforward conversion to an air source heat pump.

The first floor provides a well-balanced arrangement of five generous bedrooms and three bathrooms, two of which are en suite. The bathrooms are fitted with contemporary sanitaryware, quality finishes and dual-fuel towel rails.

The principal bedroom suite is positioned on a northeast–southwest axis, with windows to both the front and rear elevations. This allows views to extend across open countryside towards woodland, bringing a sense of space and connection with the landscape.

Outside - The house is set back from the road behind a low brick wall lined by a tall laurel hedge.
Wrought-iron gates open onto the gravel driveway, providing a turning and parking area for several vehicles. The driveway continues along the southwest boundary through further gates to reach the detached garage.

To the rear, an expansive terrace of Porcelain paving abuts the house, providing a natural outdoor entertaining area. Beyond lies a broad lawn with a raised gravelled patio at the far corner, positioned to take advantage of the outlook across open countryside. At the other side, a woodchip area offers space for a children’s play area. The open rear boundary allows uninterrupted views across green fields towards a mature belt of woodland.

The garden is complemented by espalier fruit trees and a planted border along the high boundary wall, providing a kitchen garden featuring lavender and herbs along with raspberry canes and rhubarb. External taps and power sockets are situated to the front and rear of the property.
