Five Elms spans approximately 6,163 sq ft in total and is arranged over two levels, designed for a range of lifestyles with flexible living spaces and exceptional attention to detail. The property provides light-filled accommodation including a stunning kitchen/family room of open-plan design, with five bedrooms and five bathrooms to the first floor, including a gym/sixth bedroom above the garage with internal access - ideal for accommodating guests, live-in staff, or for creating a home office space.
Originally constructed in the 1970s, Five Elms has been extensively extended and enhanced, and is entered from the front via a welcoming and bright reception hall, setting the tone for this desirable and well-proportioned family home. The property has been considerately decorated throughout in neutral tones, with each room befitting from luxury fittings.
The kitchen/family room is the heart of the home and is a beautiful space with glazed elevations opening and overlooking the south-facing garden. The kitchen has been fitted with bespoke hand crafted units, stone worksurfaces and a range of integrated appliances. From here is a discreet utility room. An inner hall provides access to a lobby/boot room with stairs leading to a first floor studio/gym, located above the garage.

Four of the bedrooms provide luxury en suite facilities including a bespoke family bathroom.
