3 bedroom house

SUMMARY DESCRIPTION
Your own piece of paradise, where elements combine to create the perfect sanctuary for recreation and relaxation. Nestled on the outskirts of Groby, this detached chalet bungalow and its treasure trove grounds delight with each new discovery, culminating in a babbling brook and easy access to 100 hectares of ancient woodland. 

PROPERTY DESCRIPTION
Within walking distance of the centre of the bustling village of Groby, set back on its large shale driveway, it is plain to see this chalet bungalow has been a labour of love, which can be witnessed in every inch of its acre sized plot. Mature, manicured hedgerows act as boundaries that invite you to the brick built, slabbed incline which also bathes the driveway in light from dusk. Making your way up the incline and through the archway offset by matching planters you make your way through the glass panelled uPVC door to be greeted by a spacious, welcoming hallway which introduces you to the oak flooring you find throughout the property and provides access to the modern, well considered and immaculately finished interior.

The first room we discover downstairs is the snug, suitably named due to its cosy feel and soothing pallet. The large double glazed window bathes the room in natural light and provides a view over the driveway. We also find our first example of the ingenious use of the space to maximise storage, in this instance we find some under stairs storage using the negative space under the natural incline of the staircase. Stepping to the other side of the hall we find a comfortable and luxurious guest bedroom currently housing a king size bed complimented by vintage furniture, lovingly restored, plush warm carpets and a large window. Currently arranged with two double bedrooms the utility of the property could easily accommodate a third bedroom rather than the snug, depending upon your needs.

Continuing down the hall, ahead we find the family bathroom, tiled with sumptuous textured stone. The ceramic bath with thermostatic shower plays host to the WC, a wall hung half pedestal basin, heated towel rail and inconspicuous storage. Stepping back into the hallway and enticed by the soft light you see filtering in through the full length windows of the sun room you find yourself in the sitting room which flows effortlessly into the adjoining sunroom. Both filled with vibrant energy, enhanced by the subtle golden tones of the walls, these adjoining rooms are the perfect space for the family to spend time together. Spy the inviting decking area through the French Doors and drink in the views of the grounds beyond.

Returning to the hallway we step across into undoubtedly the heart of the home, the extended kitchen diner is fully equipped for whipping up delicious dishes whilst hosting friends and family. The modern glass-fronted wood burner provides a warming focal point to the dining room that can be enjoyed whilst sat at the oak dining table, whilst the panoramic windows of the kitchen bring the outside inside. The sleek kitchen has been designed with family in mind, extensive storage, plumbing for a fridge freezer, an island featuring a Zanussi induction hob that is large enough to incorporate a breakfast bar, acres of preparation worktops, integrated Zanussi oven and microwave and a wine cooler instant refreshment. A door to the right maintains a connection to the outdoors and the decked area, the perfect place for alfresco dining.

Retracing our steps down the hall to the front of the home our ascent up the carpeted staircase is rewarded with the master bedroom nestled in the eves of the chalet. A calm space that invites you across its oak floors and is punctuated by the oversized velux windows on both sides, basking the room in soft light and allowing for stunning views of the grounds, the farmland and the ancient woodland beyond. Walls of sleek carpentry offer an abundance of integrated storage, exposed brickwork draws your eye to the custom light fittings above the opulent king size bed. Accompanying the master bedroom and completing the upstairs is the master bathroom, a considered design utilises the space perfectly and presents an airy aura and with its clean colour pallet, oak door and floors, large velux window, integrated storage and 'secret' nook for additional storage which houses the new Worcester Bosch boiler. The ceramic three piece suite shows the same care and attention to the fittings we have seen throughout the property, combining its table top basin with cabinet below, rainfall shower and WC. The private bathroom adds utility and comfort to the chalet bungalow.
 

GROUNDS AND GARDEN
From the first glimpse it is obvious the amount of joy that has been derived from, and love that has been poured into the grounds. Encompassing around three quarters of an acre, cleverly segmented to achieve a feeling of discovery, each new section of this secret garden design conceals the next, and has its own distinct features and highlights. From decked areas perfect for entertaining, to the idyllic quiet of the mains powered 'lavender retreat', the grounds hold something for everyone, whatever the weather or mood. From an agricultural area with raised beds, greenhouse, fruit bearing trees and raspberry wrapped trellis to the multiple mains powered storage spaces, ponds, mature archways draped in roses and rockeries. The landscaping tempts you deeper into the grounds towards the breathtaking willow and conifer trees, in excess of 100 years old, at the far boundary. External power outlets, water butts and seating areas are thoughtfully dotted throughout the space for convenience creating a space that you can while away the hours in happily, without even needing to return to the chalet bungalow, that melts away in the environment.
