An impressive six-bedroom detached home set on a very large plot in semi-rural Barmpton. The Paddock combines substantial living space (circa 4,348 sq ft) with high-end fixtures — bespoke Clive Christian kitchen, spa-like bathrooms and a dramatic double-height entrance that fills the house with light. Extensive, well-maintained gardens, remote-controlled electric gates, a detached double garage and a fenced paddock deliver a private, countryside lifestyle.
The layout suits a multi-generational family or buyers wanting dedicated work-from-home and leisure zones. Ground-floor principal and second suites offer bedroom-with-ensuite convenience; three further king-sized rooms sit above, while a lower-ground level with private entrance functions as a self-contained annex or guest apartment. Four reception rooms, a utility and several adaptable spaces give scope to create a home office, cinema or formal dining area.
Practical considerations are stated plainly: broadband speeds are very slow, the property attracts a higher local crime rate and council tax is quite expensive. The house benefits from owned solar panels and is offered freehold with no onward chain, but the paddock and grounds may require ongoing maintenance or have separate planning considerations if development is contemplated.
Overall, The Paddock is for buyers seeking scale, privacy and countryside views delivered with elegant, contemporary finishes. It presents immediate comfortable living with clear potential for income use from the lower-level annexe or further development of the paddock (subject to planning). Viewings are recommended to appreciate the proportions and setting in person.
