4 Bedroom Detached House, Barrack Street, Bradfield, CO11

The entrance hall gives the house an immediate sense of scale and finish, with a part-glazed front door and matching side panels drawing light into the space. The porcelain tiled floor runs through in a timber-effect finish, adding warmth while keeping the entrance practical, and the oak staircase becomes a real focal point, with panelled detail beneath the stairs and traditional turned balustrades above. The hall is more than a simple pass-through, with room to pause, furnish and properly arrive, while the floorplan shows how naturally it organises the ground floor: the living room sits to one side, the kitchen/diner opens to the other, and a ground floor shower room is positioned just off the central hall. Recessed ceiling lights, oak internal doors and a soft neutral finish continue the polished, well-considered feel established by the oak framed porch outside.

A standout open-plan kitchen, dining and sitting space, clearly designed as the everyday heart of the home. Timber-effect porcelain tiled flooring runs through the whole room, giving warmth underfoot while keeping the space practical and hardwearing. The kitchen itself is beautifully appointed, with cream shaker-style cabinetry, quartz work surfaces and a large central island with breakfast bar seating. The specification lifts it well beyond the ordinary, with twin ovens, a range-style cooker, dishwasher, space for an American-style fridge freezer, two included wine fridges and a sink carved directly into the work surface for a seamless finish. Wide windows with plantation shutters bring in excellent natural light, while French doors open straight onto the rear garden terrace. With dedicated dining space, a relaxed seating area, column radiators, pendant lighting and oak internal doors, this is a room built for cooking, gathering and day-to-day family life.

A useful utility room positioned off the kitchen/diner, giving the main living space proper day-to-day support. The same timber-effect porcelain tiled flooring continues through, keeping the finish consistent and practical, while low-profile work surfaces provide a neat run of workspace around the laundry appliances. There is a sink set beneath the window, wall and base storage, space for both washing machine and tumble dryer, and an external door opening directly to the garden, making it ideal for boots, pets and laundry without cutting through the main kitchen. The adjoining boiler room adds further practical separation, keeping the working parts of the home tucked away.

A practical room that offers additional storage and access to the home's utilities.

A beautifully proportioned living room with a calmer, more traditional feel than the open-plan kitchen beyond. The room is arranged around a substantial brick fireplace with a black hearth, deep mantel and wood-burning stove, giving the space a proper focal point as well as real character. Decorative ceiling detail, soft carpeting and a wide front window with plantation shutters add to the sense of finish, while French doors at the far end open directly to the garden, drawing the eye through to the terrace and outbuilding beyond. Column radiators, oak internal doors and a generous footprint make this a room that feels both elegant and genuinely usable, easily accommodating large seating without losing its sense of balance.

A polished ground floor shower room finished with a crisp, hotel-style feel. Large marble-effect porcelain tiles run across the floor and continue up the walls, giving the space a clean, seamless finish with plenty of light reflected around the room. The walk-in shower has a frameless glass screen, rainfall shower head and separate handheld attachment, while a vanity basin, mirrored cabinet and close-coupled WC complete the layout. The window brings in natural light, softened by a fitted blind, and the oak internal door adds warmth against the porcelain and chrome detailing. Practical for day-to-day family life, guests and garden use, but finished to a much higher standard than a simple downstairs shower room.

The landing has the same polished, well-ordered feel as the entrance below, with the oak balustrade rising to a generous central space that connects all four bedrooms and the family bathroom. Soft carpeting, recessed ceiling lights and a column radiator continue the considered finish, while the layout gives the first floor a proper sense of balance rather than feeling like a simple corridor. The principal bedroom sits to one side with its en-suite, the second bedroom is positioned at the opposite end, and bedrooms three and four sit between them, creating a practical arrangement for family life, guests or home working. A decorative feature wall and room for a console table give the landing a furnished, welcoming quality in its own right.

A generous principal bedroom with a calmly-inspired finish and excellent built-in storage. Three windows bring light across the room, each fitted with plantation shutters and soft striped pelmets, while the partially sloped ceiling adds character without compromising the usable floor space. The room comfortably takes a large bed with bedside furniture and still leaves space for drawers and a dressing table, helped by the broad fitted wardrobes running along one wall. Soft carpeting, column radiators and the oak internal door continue the quality seen through the rest of the house, while the en-suite shower room sits directly off the bedroom, giving this space the privacy and practicality expected of a proper main suite.

The principal bedroom is served by a neatly arranged en-suite shower room, set beneath the roofline and finished with a light, polished feel. Marble-effect tiling runs across the floor and part-height walls, adding continuity with the home’s wider specification, while the corner shower enclosure includes both rainfall and handheld fittings. A vanity basin sits below the window, bringing in natural light, with a WC tucked neatly to one side and a chrome heated towel rail completing the room.

A large second double bedroom with excellent proportions and a bright, relaxed feel. The room sits beneath a partly sloped ceiling, adding shape and character while still leaving a generous amount of usable floor space. A wide side window brings in natural light across the room, with an Velux window enhancing the sense of openness. There is ample space for a double bed, freestanding storage, seating and dressing furniture, making this a very strong second bedroom rather than a compromised guest room. The oak internal door, column radiator and soft neutral walls continue the quality finish seen throughout the house, while the scale of the room gives it real flexibility for older children, visiting family or a substantial guest suite.

A well-presented third bedroom with a pretty dormer window and a softly shaped ceiling line that gives the room character. The space is currently arranged with a double bed and bedside furniture, showing it can work comfortably as a bedroom rather than only a study or occasional room. Two dormer cupboards are tucked neatly into the roofline, adding useful built-in storage without taking up floor space, while the window brings in good natural light.

A neat fourth bedroom with a cosy, characterful shape beneath the roofline. The dormer window brings light into the room while the angled ceiling creates a softer cottage feel. It is currently arranged with a bed, storage and a small seating/dressing area, showing its flexibility as a child’s bedroom, nursery, guest room or study. A column radiator, fitted carpet and oak internal door continue the finish found across the first floor.

A stylish family bathroom with a bold, contemporary finish, set beneath the roofline to give the room shape and character. Dark large-format tiling runs across the floor and part-height walls, creating a smart contrast against the white suite and painted upper walls. The bath is set into a tiled surround with a step-up detail, mixer tap and handheld shower attachment, making it practical for family use while still feeling considered. A wide window brings in natural light, with a fitted blind for privacy, and the layout also includes a heated towel rail, modern WC and vanity basin with clean-lined storage beneath.

South View Cottage makes a strong first impression, set back behind a white picket frontage with a wide gravel driveway providing generous off-road parking. The front elevation has a polished cottage style, with red brickwork, a broad tiled roof, two dormer windows and plantation shutters to the ground floor windows. The oak-framed porch is a particular feature, creating a substantial and welcoming entrance, with a slate threshold, glazed side panels and a soft green front door adding warmth and character. Cobbled edging, potted planting and double gated side accesses complete the frontage keep the approach smart, enclosed and well finished.
