"Impressive six bedroom detached family home in Piccotts End

Description

Located in the peaceful hamlet of Piccotts End, Greenbanks is a substantial 1920s family home of about 4300 sq ft that has been thoughtfully extended and modernised over time to provide a bright and spacious living environment. Set back from the road behind secure wrought iron gates, the property is approached via a long driveway and sits within attractive, mature grounds of about 0.5 acres.

The entrance is via a solid oak door into a sizeable porch, leading to a welcoming and spacious entrance hall. From here, the main reception rooms are accessed, including a large sitting room, a corner family room with windows on two sides, a study, and a guest cloakroom.

The dining room overlooks a Japanese style garden and adjoins a well appointed kitchen and a generous utility boot room.

On the first floor, the principal bedroom benefits from an en suite bathroom and separate shower room. There are four additional bedrooms, a family bathroom, and a laundry room.

A sixth bedroom is located on the second floor and offers pleasant views over the garden, neighboring orchard, and farmland beyond.

The property offers ample parking with a roundabout turning area and potential to add a double detached garage, subject to planning permission.

The rear garden is well proportioned with terraced lawns and mature borders, featuring several patio areas that take advantage of the sunny aspect, making it a practical and inviting outdoor space for family life.
