Beresfords are delighted to bring to the market Hamilton House, an impressive executive five bedroom detached family home situated in the desirable village of Shalford. Presented to a high standard throughout, the property offers in excess of 3,000 sqft of spacious and versatile accommodation, ideally suited to modern family living.

Internally, the ground floor comprises a welcoming entrance hallway, with stairs rising to the first floor and two useful understairs storage cupboards. The impressive dual-aspect living room features a characterful bay window, red-brick fireplace and wood-burning stove, creating a warm and inviting space.

There are two further reception rooms, one currently utilised as a home office and the other as a cosy snug, together with a downstairs cloakroom.

At the heart of the home is a stunning kitchen/dining room, beautifully appointed with a range of high-end integrated Smeg appliances, including a dishwasher, induction hob, grill, oven, fridge and freezer. The room is flooded with natural light from the glazed roof and French doors, which open directly onto the rear garden, creating an ideal space for both entertaining and everyday family life.

A separate utility/boot room provides valuable additional storage and convenient access to the rear of the property. The entire ground floor benefits from underfloor heating.

To the first floor, a spacious galleried landing provides access to five bedrooms, comprising four generous double bedrooms and one single bedroom. The principal bedroom benefits from its own dressing area and en-suite shower room, while bedrooms two and three also feature en-suite facilities.
