With over 4800 sqft of accommodation and a delightful plot of approx. 1.37 acres, this substantial detached house sits well back on the south side of one of Ramsden Bellhouse's private roads enjoying.
Known as Park Farm, this property was built to one of the largest Potton designs and with further extensions now provides both spacious open plan living areas together with separate reception rooms for the more traditional feel for when the formal occasions arise.
With the exception of the dining room, all the living areas enjoy views onto the gardens. Enjoying a most delightful feeling of spaciousness, the sitting room is open to the glass vaulted sun lounge and the kitchen/diner which sits across the central area of the house is then open to the tv lounge. This lounge sits above ground level and so in turn has a galleried balcony looking onto the lower-level room with glass vaulted gable end and swimming pool beyond. Quite simply a stunning vista and fabulous party space.
To the first floor there are four double bedrooms, with the exemption of the main, each one displays the character beams expected to be found in a Potton home and enjoy good storage. The main bedroom suite boasts both a walk-in dressing room and refitted en suite together with its own enclosed balcony giving southerly views of the gardens and beyond. Two of the secondary bedrooms are ideally placed to either incorporate further en-suites or share direct access to the generously proportioned family bathroom which features both a large walk-in shower and separate bath.
Its far to say the 1.37 acre plot this house affords, sets this home apart from others. As mentioned, the property has a generous frontage with enclosed secure parking and a double garage. The lovely southerly facing gardens provide several private seating areas positioned to the rear of the house, around the pool and within the well-stocked mature gardens where paths will pass by a variety of shrubs, specimen trees, fruit trees and a freshwater pond.
To the rear of the formal gardens and enjoying its own separate side access is an 0.5 acre area of land where you could (STPC) have a sporting facility outbuilding but as is, offers the opportunity to be a paddock for a pony or even a small football pitch.
All in all, a stunning family country home that will help create special moments throughout the time you enjoy here.

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.
