Broadacres is a beautifully presented four-bedroom detached home in Lanchester, combining a distinctive double-fronted exterior with stylish interiors and delightful landscaped gardens. With three reception rooms, a quality breakfasting kitchen and a bedroom opening onto its own garden-facing balcony, this individual property offers a welcoming setting for family life and entertaining.

Two elegant sitting rooms feature generous bay windows overlooking the front garden, with a multi-fuel stove in one and a gas stove in the other creating inviting focal points.

The generous principal bedroom benefits from extensive fitted storage and an en-suite bathroom, while another bedroom enjoys direct access to a balcony with glass balustrades, overlooking the landscaped garden and towards the countryside beyond. A stylish main bathroom includes a freestanding-style bath and separate shower enclosure.

The gardens are a particular highlight. Thoughtfully landscaped with a lawn, established planting, an ornamental pond and a choice of paved and decked seating areas, they provide an appealing space for outdoor dining, entertaining and relaxation. Mature shrubs and trees create a leafy backdrop, while the well-stocked front garden enhances the property’s attractive approach.

A long block-paved driveway provides parking for several vehicles and leads to the garage. A workshop and additional brick-built store offer useful space for hobbies, tools and garden equipment.
