Set on a very large plot in sought-after Kirkhamgate, this contemporary five-bedroom detached house is designed to capture elevated countryside views. The upside-down layout places the open-plan kitchen, dining and lounge on the first floor, creating a bright, sociable living space framed by panoramic picture windows. A versatile ground floor offers three double bedrooms including a principal suite with dressing room and award-winning en-suite.
Practical family living is well catered for: a self-contained annex wing with separate entrance suits multi-generational use or rental, while extensive landscaped gardens, terraces and multiple outbuildings provide outdoor living and workshop potential. The property benefits from modern comforts such as full air-conditioning (including the integral garage), triple glazing, underfloor heating and fast broadband and mobile signal.
There are tangible running and location considerations to note. The house dates from the late 1960s–1970s, so some elements follow that period construction; council tax is described as expensive. The area records above-average crime compared with national averages — buyers should satisfy themselves on local security and insurance implications.
This is a substantial, flexible family residence for buyers seeking country views with contemporary conveniences and separate accommodation potential. Its size, elevated aspect and generous garages/outbuildings make it especially suitable for buyers wanting indoor–outdoor living, home working or a home-plus-annex arrangement.
