The Property
12 The Oaks is an exceptional family home set within a small, exclusive estate in the attractive and welcoming village of Matfen. Built less than 30 years ago, The Oaks offers modern living in keeping with the aesthetics of the traditional Matfen Estate properties and the countryside around it, and beautifully blends a rural lifestyle within walking distance of amenities and a friendly village community.

An entrance porch and useful downstairs cloakroom/WC opens into the hall with understairs storage cupboard, which in turn leads into the wonderful open plan living accommodation. The light, bright sitting area features a log burning stove set in an inglenook fireplace with wooden lintel, and flows into a spacious conservatory with French doors out into the gorgeous garden. The dining room to the rear is also flooded with natural light through two large windows, French doors and two roof lights, making a wonderful place for dining and entertaining, open to the garden. A smart, modern, neutral kitchen is separated from the dining area by a promontory workbench with sink, so that the pretty garden views can be enjoyed whilst the dishes are washed. Integrated appliances include two ovens, an electric hob and dishwasher. The handy utility room offers further storage, laundry facilities and space for a large American style fridge/freezer. An external door leads out into the garden and an internal door opens into the integrated garage.

To the first floor the spacious and elegant principal bedroom boasts dual aspect, fitted wardrobes and dressing table, and a luxurious en-suite shower room with corner shower cubicle, WC and vanity unit wash hand basin. Three further pleasant bedrooms, two also with fitted wardrobes, and one currently used as a home office, are served by a contemporary bathroom with bath and separate walk-in shower.

A hatch on the landing provides access to loft storage.

A large block-paved driveway leads up to the integral garage and provides ample parking for three cars. Well-maintained lawns set with mature shrubs and trees are found to the front and rear of the property, with the private garden to the rear also offering a raised patio, perfect for al fresco dining and relaxing outside.
