The Property
Occupying an elevated position in Burnopfield, 32 Busty Bank is a substantial stone-built house offering around 2,446 sq ft of versatile accommodation arranged across three levels. The interior has evolved into a particularly individual family house, combining generous reception space, four bedrooms and a series of rooms at garden level that considerably extend the way the property can be used. To the rear, extensive glazing takes full advantage of the garden setting, while an elevated deck provides an outlook across the surrounding valley.

The entrance opens into a broad central hallway, where timber flooring and the staircase establish a warm, straightforward introduction to the accommodation. To one side, the principal living room is generously proportioned and centred around a wood-burning stove, with a neatly incorporated log store alongside. A large window draws in natural light, while the scale of the room allows for substantial seating without compromising its comfortable proportions.

The principal everyday living spaces sit towards the rear of the house. Here, the kitchen, dining room and snug are closely connected, creating a sociable arrangement while retaining a clear identity for each area. The kitchen is fitted with clean-lined cabinetry beneath timber work surfaces, with integrated oven and microwave appliances and a distinctive circular extractor above the hob. A rooflight brings additional daylight from above, while the vendor also notes an unusual glass floor panel providing a visual connection with the level below.

The adjoining dining room incorporates fitted bench seating, providing a relaxed setting for meals, while the snug beyond is positioned beside full-height glazing overlooking the garden. This glazed section is one of the defining architectural features of the rear elevation, bringing the outlook directly into the interior and introducing an impressive sense of height across the different levels of the house. French doors from this part of the accommodation open onto an elevated deck, creating an appealing place to sit outside while looking across the garden and towards the valley beyond.

A separate study lies beyond the kitchen, providing useful home-working space away from the principal reception rooms, while the adjoining utility room offers further storage and laundry facilities. A ground floor WC and cloakroom complete this level.

The lower ground floor considerably expands the accommodation and gives the house a versatility that is not immediately apparent from the front elevation. A dedicated cinema room is fitted with a projector and large screen, creating a genuine media space rather than simply an additional reception room. The room also incorporates substantial built-in storage, adding a useful practical element without detracting from its principal use. Alongside is a substantial fitted office, with extensive desk space, shelving and storage arranged around the room.

Two further garden rooms occupy the rear of this level, both benefiting from large areas of glazing and direct access onto the garden terrace. Their proportions make them suitable for a variety of uses, from additional sitting rooms or children’s spaces to a gym, studio or hobby rooms. Further storage is provided beneath the staircase, complementing the extensive under-house storage already noted by the vendor.

Upstairs, four bedrooms are arranged around a central landing. The principal bedroom is particularly generous, with timber flooring and space for both bedroom furniture and a seating area. It is accompanied by a substantial walk-in wardrobe, fitted with open hanging, shelving and drawer storage, together with a private en-suite bathroom.

The en-suite has been recently refurbished and is finished with a contemporary palette, incorporating a bath with shower above, black-framed screen and extensive fitted storage. Three further bedrooms complete the first-floor accommodation, two of which are generous doubles, while the family bathroom has also been recently updated, with a tiled bath surround, vessel basin and contrasting dark fittings.

Elsewhere, the house is fitted with a home intruder alarm system, adding a further layer of security and practicality.

Externally
The house is approached across a broad block-paved driveway providing generous off-road parking and access to the integral garage.

To the rear, the private enclosed garden has been carefully arranged across a series of levels. A lawn extends from the house, bordered by mature hedging and established planting, while stone retaining walls and steps introduce further landscaped areas. Several places have been created for outdoor seating, including a lower timber terrace surrounded by planting and an elevated deck accessed from the main living accommodation.

A broad deck also extends immediately across the rear of the garden-level rooms, strengthening the connection between the lower floor and the garden. Mature boundaries provide a good degree of privacy, while the elevated position allows views beyond the garden towards the surrounding valley.
