A great opportunity to acquire this attractive 4 bedroom detached house on a private and prestigious development within close proximity of local amenities and countryside walks with parking, double garage, views and south-facing garden.

A unique opportunity to acquire this well-presented and adaptable property in a private, exclusive and gated development with south-facing garden, stunning views, parking and double garage. In brief the property comprises an entrance hall, kitchen/dining room, WC, and sitting room to the ground floor with four bedrooms (one ensuite) and a family bathroom to the first floor. The expansive open-plan kitchen/dining room is a great space for family gatherings and its southerly views over the gardens and countryside beyond must be seen to be fully appreciated. It is fitted with all mod-cons and has access out to the garden terrace, seamlessly uniting inside with out. The dual aspect sitting room is a lovely spot to unwind throughout the seasons and particularly through the colder months thanks to a wood-burner offering practical heat and attractive focal point. To the first floor there are four bedrooms including a generous master with the luxury of its own ensuite. 5 Fortnum Place was originally a three bedroom house and for those looking at less bedrooms and more sleeping space, it could easily be reconfigured to its original layout, subject to any necessary consents. All the bedrooms are serviced by the family bathroom. With its private position, exceptional views and southerly aspect, this home will be ideal for families, those looking for an easy lock up and leave and those who simply wish to position themselves close to country walks and excellent local amenities.
