NON-ESTATE POSITION - EXTENDED DETACHED FAMILY HOME - INTEGRAL DOUBLE GARAGE - CONTEMPORARY BATHROOM & EN-SUITE FACILITIES - SUPERB REAR GARDEN WITH DOUBLE GATED ACCESS & WESTERLY ASPECT. Giblin Property are delighted to bring to the market this extended detached village home situated in the centre of the village, within easy access to all village amenities.

Situated on the High Street in Eaton Bray, set back from the road with ample driveway parking, is this spacious detached home that comes to the market for the first time in over 20 years.  The property has been extended to the ground floor but certainly lends itself to further extensions (subject to necessary planning consents) with the amount of space around it and being on a non-estate position.

The ground floor offers a living room to the front of the property that features a wonderful brick fireplace with wood burning stove.  Double doors from the living room open up to a bright and contemporary further reception room, that is used as a living/dining room, with doors opening out to that beautiful rear garden.  This area in turn is open to the 17ft kitchen/breakfast room and there is a separate utility room with a door that leads into the double garage, and there is a ground floor cloakroom/WC. 

The first floor has a contemporary bathroom, master bedroom fitted with a range of built-in wardrobes and a contemporary en-suite shower room, and three further bedrooms.

The rear garden is such a wonderful aspect of this home... it features two large patio areas, one is slightly elevated and enjoys the sun all day long, the rest of the garden is laid mainly to lawn enclosed by hedge borders and there is a further 'secret garden' area with fruit trees.  Double gates to the side of the house mean that you can bring through a large vehicle from the driveway however there is ample driveway parking to the front.
