Set well back on a private gated drive in Markyate, this extended five-double-bedroom detached home offers over 3,100 sq ft of flexible family living and a very large private plot. The ground floor is designed for modern family life with an extended open-plan kitchen/breakfast/dining area and bi-folding doors to the garden, a 32ft dual-aspect formal sitting room and a bright conservatory. The detached, fully insulated home office/studio with climate control provides a true work-from-home retreat.
Upstairs the principal suite is a standout: vaulted ceiling, Juliet balcony, dressing area and a high-spec en suite. Four further double bedrooms and a contemporary four-piece family bathroom give generous accommodation for a growing or multi-generational family. The garden is private and useable, with lawn, decked terrace, pond, hot tub and direct access into adjacent Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
Practical points to note: the property dates from the 1950s–60s and external cavity walls are assumed to have no added insulation, the EPC is C and council tax is described as quite expensive. Broadband speeds are average. These factors should be considered for long-term running costs and potential improvement works.
Overall this is a substantial, well-proportioned family home in a very desirable village setting with excellent school catchments and convenient road/rail links to London. It will suit buyers seeking space, countryside access and a ready-to-use home office, while those prioritising top-tier energy efficiency or the lowest running costs should factor in potential upgrade work.
