Property description

A modern detached four bedroom cottage with a walled rear garden, off-street parking and countryside views, in the conservation area of Aspley Guise.

This property was built in 2019 to a high specification. It has approximately 2,739 sq. ft. of versatile accommodation set over two floors. The spacious entrance hall has vaulted ceilings with views through to the rear garden and the large open plan kitchen/dining/family room. There is a sitting room with a log burner, utility room, cloakroom and two ground floor bedroom suites, both with dressing areas and en-suite shower rooms. There is underfloor heating throughout the ground floor. The bespoke oak staircase with a glass balustrade leads up to the first floor. The principal bedroom has French doors opening onto a balcony with views over fields and countryside, a dressing area, an en-suite shower room and a separate en-suite bathroom. There is a further room which could be used as a home office or a bedroom. To the front of the property is a low maintenance garden with clipped box hedges and sloping lawn. Steps lead up to an oak storm porch and front door.

The bespoke fitted kitchen has quartz work surfaces, a large island unit with a Bosch induction hob, plentiful storage, display shelving, and a range of fitted Bosch appliances. Steps from the kitchen lead to the hallway, which provides access to the sitting room, which has a log burner and an engineered oak floor, the utility room, a cloakroom and the two ground floor bedroom suites.
