4 bed detached house for sale

Blakeney Hill, Blakeney GL15

A spacious four-bedroom detached home with generous reception rooms, set in a beautiful position within the sought-after village of Blakeney, benefiting from off-road parking, enclosed gardens, and stunning views.

At the rear of the house, a generous garden room/conservatory welcomes you into a light-filled haven that seamlessly bridges indoor and outdoor living. With a tiled floor and charming stable-style door, this is the perfect spot to sit and enjoy a morning coffee, watch the seasons change, or entertain with ease. The roof is fitted with uv glass for better temperature control and opens directly onto a sunny patio making it feel very much like an extension of the garden.

Immediately to the left, a versatile room currently used as a study offers ample space for working from home, but would equally make a lovely snug, hobby room, or a fourth bedroom if needed. It includes a tiled floor and a temperature-controlled storage cupboard, cleverly used by the current owners as a wine cellar.

From the conservatory, you step into the heart of the home—a warm and characterful country kitchen/dining room. This sociable space is designed for both relaxed family life and entertaining, fitted with a range of base and wall cabinets, a neff double oven and additional single oven, and a five-ring gas hob with a separate wok burner. A circular stainless steel sink with mixer tap sits below a window that floods the room with light, and there’s plenty of space for an American-style fridge/freezer. Timber beams overhead add a rustic finish, and there’s ample room for a large dining table and chairs, making it the natural gathering point of the home.

A door leads through to a well-equipped utility room, complete with additional cabinetry, worktop space, and a 1.5 bowl stainless steel sink. It’s fully plumbed for a washing machine and has space for a tumble dryer—keeping the practical side of life neatly tucked away. Beyond this lies a stylish and functional wet room, fitted with an overhead shower, wash basin, and WC—ideal for rinsing off after muddy walks or dealing with day-to-day family life.

Back through to the inner hallway, you’re met with real character: Original Forest flagstone flooring, a custom-built floor-to-ceiling bookcase with cupboards below, and a beautiful bespoke arched wooden door. This central space gives access to all ground floor areas and leads to a handy lean-to providing excellent storage or potential for further conversion.

The living room is bursting with traditional charm, featuring exposed stonework and a fireplace with a multi-fuel stove perfect for cosy evenings with a book or gathering around with family and friends. Two deep-set windows frame the surrounding greenery and fill the space with gentle light.

Stairs rise to a bright and welcoming first-floor landing, illuminated by a Velux window, and providing access to all three bedrooms and the upstairs facilities.

The principal bedroom is a spacious and serene retreat, elevated to enjoy uninterrupted views over the River Severn, Slimbridge, and the open countryside beyond. Built-in wardrobes, crafted by a local carpenter, offer smart and stylish storage. A private en suite bathroom features a modern bath with overhead shower, low level WC, and countertop basin all fully tiled in a contemporary style.

Across the landing, bedroom two is a bright and comfortable double with dual aspect windows and access to the loft, making it a flexible option for guests, teenagers, or as a second home office.

Bedroom three is another lovely space, with French doors that open directly onto an upper decking area perfect for a quiet morning escape or evening wind-down. Whether you imagine it as a bedroom, studio, or creative workspace, it offers light, flexibility, and a wonderful connection to the outdoors.

Completing the upper floor is a separate WC, fitted with a wash basin offering convenience for family life and guests alike.

Outside- Blackthorn Cottage welcomes you through a gated entrance into a generous driveway, where a thoughtfully paved parking and turning area provides ample space for both residents and visiting guests. From the very first moment, there is a wonderful sense of arrival—private, practical, and perfectly in keeping with the cottage’s charming and characterful exterior. Beyond, the gardens begin to unfold, drawing you naturally towards the far edge of the plot where the setting truly comes into its own. Here, the landscape opens up to reveal breathtaking panoramic views across rolling fields, a picturesque village below, and distant hills that stretch across the horizon. Thanks to the cottage’s elevated position, these views are not just a feature but a constant companion—shifting beautifully with the seasons and offering an ever-changing backdrop to everyday life. The outdoor space has been carefully arranged to balance usability with natural beauty. A series of patio areas and gently tiered garden levels create inviting spaces to sit, entertain, or simply pause and take in the surroundings. Whether hosting summer gatherings or enjoying a quiet morning coffee, the setting feels both expansive and intimate. Adding further practicality, the property benefits from a useful store room—ideal for keeping tools, outdoor equipment, or seasonal items neatly tucked away—alongside a separate studio. This versatile space lends itself perfectly to a variety of uses, whether as a dedicated home office, a creative workspace, or a peaceful retreat away from the main house, making it particularly appealing for those seeking a flexible work-from-home environment. All of this is framed by established boundaries and mature trees, which provide a reassuring sense of privacy without compromising the uninterrupted views beyond. The result is an exceptional outdoor environment—one that feels secluded yet connected, and perfectly suited to both relaxation and entertaining in equal measure.
