High-quality fittings, a generous plot and well-proportioned accommodation run consistently throughout this impressive home, which enjoys a commanding position sitting behind twin electric gates along the sought-after Church Road.
Thoughtful extensions and some clever reconfiguration have ensured this property delivers the level of accommodation that is both expected and desired on a road of this calibre.
All four bedrooms are generous double rooms, two of which benefit from their own high-quality en-suite shower rooms, whilst the remaining two share a beautifully appointed four-piece family bathroom.
Polished porcelain floors greet you in the hallway, where there is ample room to welcome guests in style. Doors lead from here to each of the three reception rooms, the kitchen and the ground floor WC with its separate recessed cloaks area, a well-considered and practical arrangement.
The dining room is particularly generous and will comfortably host the largest of family gatherings, whilst the separate sitting room/home office to the front has become the everyday cosy lounge. To the rear, a formally extended lounge is a wonderfully calm and inviting space featuring an illuminated feature fireplace and double doors opening onto the patio. The kitchen diner also sits at the rear and offers an extensive range of quality cabinets with curved peninsulas, integrated Miele ovens and further high-end appliances throughout. Adjoining the kitchen, a good-sized utility room with a side door will very quickly become the preferred entrance for muddy shoes, school bags and the inevitable dirty dog.
The rear garden is quite simply extraordinary measuring approximately 300' in depth and commencing with a patio, a path leads up to an outbuilding complex that adjoins the garage and incorporates an entrance area, an outside WC and a garden room, all of which could equally serve as a games room, a gym, a hobby space or even guest accommodation. All in all, a truly exceptional family home that will adapt and deliver as family dynamics change over the years.

A bit of history: At the beginning of the 20th century, Homesteads Ltd of the Strand in London bought the estate of 'Ramsden Hall' along with part of the 'Ramsden Park' estate, and the village of Ramsden Bellhouse as we know it now, was born.
It was originally built as a 'bungalow estate' with only a few detached houses dotted here and there. There were several different optional designs - I have a few prints of the original flyers which make interesting reading - with prices from £275!!
Many of the houses you see now in the village started life as these bungalows and have been greatly extended out of all recognition, although a few retain the angled front room, which helps identify them.
Most of the plots were an acre, but some buyers bought two or more to create Smallholdings, hence why there are a real mixture of plot sizes throughout the village.
