Full Details for 5 Bedroom Detached for sale in Sandy, SG19 :

When I think about village life certain images spring to mind; thatched cottages, local pub, a shop or two, panoramic views and the chance to roam across open land. Then secondary thoughts filter through; social activities, good schools, a local church, a thriving community spirit and Gamlingay certainly meets these criteria, and much more.Gamlingay village has existed for hundreds of years. Quaint doesn't describe it, it is a robust, energetic, thriving village, surrounded by lovely farmland and countryside. Cedar Chase sits happily in a hamlet set between Gamlingay, Potton and Everton and benefits from extensive views on all fronts. Once through the striking electric wrought gates, there is a substantial gravel drive which laps both around the fish pond and front lawn and leads down the side of the house where the garage is located. The house is ten years old and was designed and built by the owner, Alan. It is hard to believe the house is not older; it has a timeless quality. Stately double front-doors lead in to a spacious hall with a striking, bespoke wooden staircase and a decadent crystal chandelier hanging from the upstairs ceiling down through the stairwell, very glamorous!There is a really good sized room, perfect as a home office with very pleasant views of the front garden and beyond.The lounge is a lovely size with a sleek modern décor but the room does have a rustic charm and could easily adapt to any style, be it minimalist or country living. There is a raised open backed brick surround fireplace with a super log burner, shared with the kitchen. It's an unusual design and I loved it.We often think of the kitchen as being the hub of the home and in this case it certainly is. The imagination can run riot as this huge space has so much to offer. It currently showcases high-quality oak units and Galaxy marble work surfaces and twin Miele ovens and large hob, perfect for the cook of the house, or you could share the cooking and still not get in each other's way. There is a quirky central island with a variety of seating options but still ample room for that idyllic farmhouse kitchen table, inviting family and friends to gather, consuming lots of good food and wine. The mentioned log-burner gives homely warmth to this huge country kitchen. There is a dining room that, given the generous kitchen, could easily double as a cosy second sitting room or hang-out for older kids.Upstairs, leading off a partly galleried expansive landing, are five double bedrooms. All have good quality en-suite shower rooms including a Jacuzzi bath and multi head walk-in shower for the master bedroom, which is every woman's dream, with double doors leading on to a balcony overlooking the back garden, a dressing area plenty large enough for box after box of shoes and a lovely seating area. The splendour completing this marvellous home is the back garden, it is magnificent. There's a large patio, with room for tables and chairs aplenty. As mentioned, the drive from the front of the house sweeps round with parking space for fleets of cars. The grounds merge in to the distance and at its furthest point there is a par three practice golf hole. There is a large barn and double garageThe tour isn't over; the back of the house contains a real lifestyle statement, a swimming pool has been constructed and offers the opportunity to create something really special. The stunning wood ceiling looks like the hull of an upturned boat. Behind the pool is an area designed to be a games room or amazing party space. The pool is an unfinished adaptable project with the potential to become a truly fabulous asset to this lovely propertyGamlingay, Potton and Everton are flourishing communities with something for everyone. Given the potential of the house and grounds, this could be the perfect home for someone wishing to make their mark on a property to cater for all needs, styles and dreams, and dreams really do come true.
