6 bed detached house for sale

Pollards Way, Lower Stondon SG16

Property Insight:

This six-bedroom, double-fronted property has an incredible amount of versatile living space set over three floors. Beautifully presented inside and out, it’s a wonderful family home that can’t fail to impress.

As you enter the property, a spacious porch with handy storage opens into a stunning entrance hall with central staircase. The warm wooden flooring sets a tone of quiet luxury, and the beautiful finishes set a high bar for the rest of this fantastic house.

To the right of the entrance hall is a large and elegant dual aspect sitting room. Decorated in a lovely calming blue tone, this is the perfect place to relax after a busy day. Over 21 feet in length, this impressive room has more than enough space for adding furniture and personalising to create a cosy and attractive setting to unwind in. A feature fireplace creates a central focal point and glazed French doors introduce plenty of natural light and easy access to the garden – ideal for enjoying indoor-outdoor living during the summer months.

Overlooking the garden is a stunning, triple-aspect kitchen/breakfast room. This is the heart of the house and the perfect space for family living and informal entertaining. The kitchen is contemporary in style, with wooden Shaker-style cabinetry, contrasting granite worktops and stylish black floor tiles. The duck-egg walls introduce a subtle splash of colour, and the integrated appliances include a range cooker, dishwasher and microwave oven. There’s plenty of space for an American-style fridge-freezer plus a table and chairs. It’s the perfect kitchen for keen chefs with ample storage space, including a separate pantry. The central kitchen island provides the perfect spot for enjoying your first freshly brewed coffee of the day (or well-deserved glass of wine in the evening) and includes integrated wine racks and a feature pendant light. Two sets of French doors lead to the garden, making this a beautifully light-filled room, as well as being perfectly set up for hosting summer gatherings with family and friends. Leading off from the kitchen is a practical utility with outside access (indispensable if you are ever dealing with a muddy dog and/or children!)

Located next to the kitchen is a spacious and versatile family room. This is a wonderfully versatile space, ideal for relaxing together or entertaining guests, with plenty of space for comfortable seating. It could just as easily be transformed into an elegant dining room - the perfect setting for hosting dinner parties or enjoying family meals. The current owners use it as a TV room. A similarly sized study is located adjacent to the dining room. Again, this is a very versatile room which enjoys plenty of daylight thanks to its double windows. There is lots of space, plus beautifully crafted bespoke wooden cabinetry which runs across one wall, providing ample and stylish storage. Completing the downstairs is a handy cloakroom featuring a modern white suite.

Heading up the impressive wooden staircase with its plush, carpeted treads, you arrive on the spacious first floor galleried landing. Four double bedrooms are located on this floor, including the principal suite which enjoys its own dressing area with fitted wardrobes and ensuite bathroom. This is an incredibly spacious room which provides a real retreat from the stresses of everyday life. Multiple windows help create a light and airy feel, and there is easily room for a super king size bed plus additional furniture. The monochrome floral feature wall is a stylish addition, and the ensuite bathroom is also incredibly spacious, featuring a neutral colour scheme with mosaic feature tiles, double basins, large shower and full-size bath.

All four bedrooms on the first floor are well-proportioned and light rooms with lovely green views over the adjacent recreation ground and countryside. The guest bedroom has double windows, built-in wardrobes and its own ensuite shower room featuring a modern white suite and striking red mosaic tiling, making it truly comfortable for friends and family to stay when visiting. The two other double bedrooms also benefit from built-in wardrobes and plenty of space. The family bathroom located on this floor has a modern white suite, including a separate shower and bath, with white wall tiles and neutral mosaic-style flooring.

On the second floor are two further bedrooms, plus a large and versatile snug area and bathroom. Both bedrooms are generous doubles (there’s no fighting over who gets the largest room in this property!) Also, the snug is a versatile space that offers plenty of flexibility - ideal as a cosy retreat for relaxing with a book or film, or easily adaptable as a study area, teenage den, or play space for younger children. The bathroom features a contemporary, white bathroom suite, including a full-size bath with shower over.

Outside, the property has a lovely, landscaped garden which features a lawned area (ideal for young children to play) and a secluded raised decking area, providing a haven to relax and enjoy the sunshine. To the side of the house is a gated, block-paved driveway with double garage, providing secure parking and plenty of storage space. The front of the house is beautifully presented with well-maintained, curved hedging and borders. Tucked away in a private corner of the garden, the luxurious hot tub offers the ultimate spot to unwind - perfect for soaking under the stars after a long day or enjoying a glass of bubbly with friends on a summer evening.

If you’re looking for a fantastically versatile, spacious family home in a village setting, we recommend booking a viewing as we guarantee this fabulous property won’t be on the market for long!
