6 bedroom detached house for sale

Location/ Description The Fox is a most attractive and substantial detached period residence which has been sympathetically improved and extended and provides exceptionally versatile living accommodation including four/five reception rooms and five/six bedrooms. Although there is one bathroom on the first floor, the current vendors have considered making alterations to one of the bedrooms (the most northerly bedroom shown on the floor plan) and to create a dressing room with ensuite or perhaps just a large bathroom instead. The property retains many attractive character features and is complemented by a number of stylish improvements and additions including the superb garden room/conservatory which overlooks the gardens. In addition the property has the benefit of delightful generous mature gardens and include a hard tennis court and heated swimming pool.
The Fox occupies an idyllic and tranquil semi-rural position at the end of a no-through country lane in a small hamlet of cottages and farmhouses located about half a mile from the village and surrounded by unspoilt farmland and countryside. The highly regarded village of Steeple Morden provides an excellent range of local amenities including a primary school, church, garage, village inn and village hall. There are more extensive facilities available in the village of Ashwell which is located about 3 miles away where there is a mainline station (Cambridge to King's Cross) and is also within easy reach of major routes including the A1M, A505 and A10.
