A comfortable detached family home with generous, attractive accommodation, set on a peaceful, tucked away residential cul-de-sac in the popular village of Redbourn. The property features beautifully presented, flexible reception rooms and five well-appointed bedrooms, all within easy reach of the village centre, yet just moments from open rolling countryside.

Silk Mill Road is a well-presented five-bedroom detached home featuring elegant décor and styling throughout. The reception rooms are filled with natural light and open onto the south-facing garden via French doors.

The main reception room is the 23ft sitting room, which runs from the front to the rear of the ground floor, with a window overlooking the front and French doors to the patio area at the rear. The room has wooden flooring and a splendid feature fireplace, making for a lovely space in which to relax as a family. There is also a formal dining room, which could be used as a snug or a study, and at the rear, a semi open-plan kitchen and dining area. The dining area connects to the sitting room via bi-fold doors, and to the gardens via French doors, while the kitchen has fitted units to base and wall level providing a wealth of storage space. The utility room adds further fitted storage and space for home appliances, as well as access to the side.

Upstairs there are five beautifully appointed bedrooms, including the generous principal bedroom at the front, which has dormer windows, built-in wardrobes and an en suite bathroom with a bathtub, a separate shower and a washbasin and vanity unit with storage. Three of the additional four bedrooms have built-in storage, while one has an en suite shower room and the other has Jack and Jill access to the family shower room. The fifth bedroom is ideal for use as a study, a nursery or a dressing room. There is air conditioning in four of the bedrooms.

At the front of the property there is parking space on a shared block-paved driveway, as well as access to the integrated double garage for further parking or home storage and workshop space. The delightful garden to the rear is south-facing and welcomes plenty of sunlight throughout the day. It includes a patio across the back of the house with a retractable sunshade. Beyond the patio there is an area of lawn with colourful, well-stocked border beds and, at the end of the plot, a gravel seating area and summer house, providing a peaceful vantage point from which to enjoy the garden.
