Occupying a desirable position within the highly regarded village of Benington, this beautifully refurbished detached chalet-style home offers over 2600 sq ft of versatile and well-balanced accommodation, ideally suited to modern family life.
The property combines generous proportions with thoughtful design, offering both impressive entertaining space and flexible living arrangements.
Accommodation:
At the centre of the home is a stunning open-plan kitchen/dining/living space, flooded with natural light from multiple aspects and bi-fold doors opening directly onto the rear garden. The kitchen is comprehensively fitted with a range of smart cabinetry, integrated appliances including double ovens, and a central island with induction hob and breakfast bar, complemented by contrasting worktops and a separate utility/laundry room with external access.
A spacious living room sits to the rear of the property, with French doors onto the garden and a feature fireplace, creating a more relaxed and private reception space.
The ground floor offers excellent flexibility, with two generous front-facing rooms currently arranged as a bedroom and a home office, but equally suited to use as a snug or playroom. These rooms are well-proportioned, benefitting from large bay windows and abundant natural light.
A ground floor shower room serves this level, making the layout especially well suited to multi-generational living or those requiring ground floor bedroom accommodation. The configuration lends itself well to creating a semi-independent living arrangement if required.
A standout feature is the impressive entrance hall and staircase, with a galleried landing above, with roof light and a striking sense of space and light.
To the first floor are three further bedrooms, including a spacious principal suite with fitted storage and en suite shower room, alongside a well-appointed family bathroom.
Outside:
The rear garden is private and beautifully maintained, offering a large lawn bordered by mature planting and trees.
A paved terrace spans the rear of the house, ideal for outdoor dining, with a pathway leading to a circular seating area and a substantial timber garden building with covered veranda, creating an excellent entertaining space or outdoor lounge.
