Description

Tucked away at the end of a quiet, tree-lined drive within an exclusive gated development, 5 Mulberry Gardens is a distinguished four-bedroom detached residence of exceptional quality and charm. Constructed in 2000 by the highly regarded Hazelwood Homes, the property forms part of an intimate collection of just six individually designed, stone-built homes, each thoughtfully arranged to evoke a sense of permanence, privacy and timeless appeal.

Approached through electric gates, the setting is both secure and serene, originally forming the landscaped grounds of the parish rectory. Today, it offers the rare combination of classical architecture, modern living, and close proximity to both green space and the city centre. Just opposite lies the open expanse of Itter Park, providing a welcome sense of greenery and community on the doorstep.

The home comprises four bedrooms, three bathrooms and three reception rooms in addition to the large kitchen, separate utility. Outside, the private garden is mainly laid to lawn, with alfresco dining areas, summer house and parking for up to four cars in addition to the double garage.
