The Pastures is a spacious and well-proportioned four-bedroom detached family home, occupying a private and secluded position along a quiet lane just a short distance from the village green in Aldborough.

The front door opens into a welcoming reception hall, to your left is a garden room with a solid roof and full central heating, creating a comfortable year-round living space with panoramic views over the gardens. The sitting room sits to the right off this hallway with a large bay window to the front, this room has a decommissioned gas fire within the chimney but offers potential for an open fire or wood burning stove subject to necessary checks.
To the rear, a further hallway leads to a WC/cloakroom, and offers useful coat storage and ample understairs storage cupboards.
Also leading off the hall on the ground floor a separate study provides an ideal home office.
The kitchen/breakfast room is a particularly generous space, fitted with a handmade painted wooden kitchen offering ample storage and work surfaces. Appliances include a two-oven oil-fired Aga with a further Neff electric oven and ceramic hob, there is with room for a freestanding dishwasher and large fridge freezer and plenty of space for a table and chairs.
The adjacent dining room offers flexibility as either a formal dining space, family room or playroom, with scope to create a more open-plan layout with the adjoining kitchen if desired.
A separate utility room provides further storage, a sink, space for laundry appliances and houses the oil-fired boiler, which was installed in 2024.
A notable feature of the property is the ground floor principal bedroom, a spacious room with extensive fitted wardrobes and an en suite shower room, making the house equally suited to those seeking predominantly single-level living.
On the first floor are three further double bedrooms, two of which benefit from substantial walk-in dressing rooms, while the third has fitted wardrobes. The family bathroom is complemented by a further separate W.C.
A large storeroom offers excellent storage or potential to create an additional en suite, subject to any necessary consents. Access from the landing leads to a boarded and we are told well-insulated loft.
