With over 2,200 sq ft of accommodation, this family home features a welcoming entrance hall that leads to expansive living areas, including a nearly 22ft living room with an Inglenook fireplace and wood burner, perfect for cozy evenings. The heart of the home is undoubtedly the impressive L-shaped open-plan kitchen, dining, and family area, extending over 41ft, designed for both daily family life and entertaining. This contemporary space boasts extensive fitted storage, integrated appliances, and a large central island, complemented by electric underfloor heating and individual temperature control across three zones. The ground floor also includes a separate utility room and a convenient WC. Upstairs, you'll find four generous double bedrooms, including a principal suite with an en-suite shower room. Practical features such as a wine cellar and a fully boarded loft add to the home's appeal. Set within almost an acre of mature gardens, Elmhurst offers vast lawns and a predominantly south-west-facing rear garden, ideal for enjoying the afternoon sun. The outdoor space includes a patio area for summer gatherings and a wildlife pond that enhances the natural habitat. In addition to the main house, there is a substantial detached complex of approximately 1,600 sq ft, currently housing a recreation room, gym, bathroom, office, and triple garage. This versatile space could be adapted for multi-generational living or guest accommodation, subject to planning permissions. Moreover, the property includes approximately 6.8 acres of private woodland with established trails, providing a serene setting for outdoor activities. Located in Blakedown, the home is close to local amenities and schools, making it an ideal choice for families seeking both space and convenience.
