Substantial Five-Bedroom Family Home with South-Facing Garden
£490,000 • 5 bed • 2 bath • Rackheath
A substantial and exceptionally versatile five-bedroom detached home extending to approximately 2,245 sq. ft. , offering generous living accommodation, an integral garage, excellent parking and a mature south-facing rear garden . Set within the popular village of Rackheath, the property provides the space required for modern family life, with multiple reception areas, a large kitchen/dining room, dedicated home office and five well-proportioned bedrooms. The Property From the outset, this is a home that offers considerably more space than first impressions might suggest. The ground floor has been arranged to provide a combination of open-plan family living and more traditional separate reception spaces. At its heart is the impressive 7.31m kitchen/dining room , providing plenty of room for everyday family life. The kitchen is fitted with an extensive range of contemporary grey units complemented by granite work surfaces, tiled flooring and integrated appliances, with direct access into the rear garden. Alongside the kitchen is a separate dining room, creating an excellent space for more formal dining and entertaining. Double doors connect this with the substantial living room, while the dining room also leads naturally through to the conservatory. The living room measures approximately 5.74m x 3.69m , providing a particularly generous principal reception room with a large window bringing plenty of natural light into the space. To the rear, the conservatory enjoys an attractive outlook across the south-facing garden. Measuring approximately 3.98m x 3.51m , it provides another highly usable reception area, with doors opening directly onto the patio and garden beyond. A particularly useful feature is the dedicated ground-floor office. At approximately 5.16m x 2.51m , this is a genuine working space rather than a converted corner of another room, making the property especially well suited to those working from home. First Floor The sense of space continues upstairs, where five bedrooms provide considerable flexibility for a larger family, visiting guests or additional home-working requirements. The principal bedroom measures approximately 4.45m x 3.69m and benefits from fitted wardrobes together with its own en-suite shower room. Bedroom two is another excellent double room, measuring approximately 4.18m x 3.69m , overlooking the rear garden and incorporating a built-in wardrobe. Bedroom three measures approximately 3.86m x 2.47m , while bedroom four measures approximately 2.80m x 2.47m , both offering useful bedroom accommodation and built-in storage. The fifth bedroom is particularly generous at approximately 4.42m x 2.57m . Currently arranged as an additional home office, it offers the flexibility to work equally well as a bedroom, guest room or hobby space and includes useful eaves storage. The bedrooms are served by a well-appointed family bathroom with both a separate shower and bath. Outside The outside space is a real strength of the property. To the front, the driveway provides off-road parking for several vehicles and access to the integral garage. The rear garden enjoys a desirable southerly aspect and has been thoughtfully landscaped to provide a combination of lawn, mature planting and paved seating areas. A patio immediately adjoining the house creates an excellent setting for outdoor dining and entertaining, while the established planting provides an attractive backdrop and a good degree of privacy. There is also a timber garden shed, additional storage and pedestrian access connecting the front and rear of the property.
