About this property

Positioned within a generous 0.6-acre plot, this stunning detached residence, originally constructed in 1855, has been thoughtfully extended to blend its historic charm with luxurious modern living.
Upon entering, you are welcomed by a charming entrance porch and vestibule, leading into a well-proportioned lounge that exudes warmth and nicknamed ‘the Christmas room’ by the current owners, with exposed ceiling beams, an inset log burner, and floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the side garden.

The heart of this home is undoubtedly the impressive, open-plan living room, featuring a dining area and a recently installed bespoke kitchen. This chef’s paradise showcases navy and grey cabinetry, Quartz worktops, and a dining island with an integrated induction hob and extractor, seamlessly blending style and function. The kitchen also includes high-spec appliances, including a double oven, wine cooler, and dishwasher, with a convenient utility room nearby, thoughtfully equipped for modern living needs.

The sunroom, with its skylight windows and parquet-style flooring, offers a peaceful retreat with scenic views of the meticulously maintained rear garden. An additional, versatile reception room with paved flooring is currently utilized as a gym and leads to a practical study fitted with custom storage and a desk, as well as a potential guest suite, perfectly positioned next to a guest WC.

Upstairs, the first floor houses five beautifully appointed bedrooms. The principal bedroom is a dual-aspect sanctuary with farmland views, fitted wardrobes, and an en suite shower room. A second en suite serves another bedroom, while a modern family bathroom, featuring a freestanding bath serves the remaining bedrooms.

Externally, this property offers a perfect blend of recreation and relaxation. The gated, cobbled driveway provides ample parking, complemented by a spacious detached larger-than-double garage with electric doors. The enchanting garden is a true highlight, featuring lush lawns bordered by farmland views, a wisteria-covered pergola creating a magical walkway for children, and a brick-built outdoor bar ideal for entertaining. A sleek and contemporary white cement seating area and a brick-built storage or workshop structure add further appeal to this exceptional outdoor space.

This one-of-a-kind property is a perfect blend of character, style, and functionality. Early viewings are highly recommended for those looking to secure this extraordinary home.

Entrance & Reception Rooms
This charming property is entered at the front via a porch with a tiled floor and wooden panelled ceiling. The porch opens into the warm and welcoming entrance hallway, which provides access into the open-plan kitchen/living/dining room and the main lounge, with a staircase featuring a traditional balustrade leading to the first floor.
The main lounge is a room of generous proportions, with floor to ceiling windows with integrated blinds looking out to the side of the property. An inset log burner and exposed beams make this a lovely cosy room in which to spend the Winter months., hence it's nickname as the 'Christmas room' by the current owners.
A additional reception room accessed from the open-plan living/dining/kitchen has a traditional paved floor and provides an ideal home gym for the current owners, with double doors providing external access to the rear of the property. A study, fitted with a desk and storage leads off this room, along with another room, with fitted wardrobes, which would make an ideal guest bedroom or ground floor bedroom for elderly relatives, with an adjacent guest WC.
A sun room at the rear of the property completes the reception rooms, being fitted with parque style flooring, skylight windows and benefitting from beautiful views over the rear garden.

Open-plan Living Room/Dining & Kitchen and Utility Room
This striking and contemporary room provides a wonderful space for families and gatherings, with the sitting area at the front of the property with an inset electric fire focal point, leading through the dining area into the high specification, bespoke kitchen. The kitchen is fitted with a range of Shmidt wall and base units in grey and navy, with Quartz white mirrored 'sparkly' worktops and central island, housing an induction hob with integrated extractor. Additional integrated appliances include a dishwasher, Quooker tap, wine cooler and double oven, with space for a fridge freezer.
Leading off the kitchen is the utility room, which houses the wall-mounted boiler and is fitted with further wall and base units, with space for a washing machine and tumble dryer.

Bedrooms & Bathrooms
The landing area has a built-in storage, and provides access to the bedrooms and family bathroom.
There are five bedrooms on the first floor, all of which benefit from fitted wardrobes. Bedroom one boasts dual-aspect views and an adjoining en suite, with a walk-in shower, WC and vanity hand basin. A second bedroom has an adjoining en suite, with walk-in shower, WC and pedestal hand basin with a family bathroom serving the remaining bedrooms. This room features a freestanding bath, hand basin, low level WC, tiled floor and partial feature wooden panelling to the walls.

External Areas
The property is set on a generous plot, fronted by a lawned garden with mature planted borders, with picturesque views over the local countryside to the side and rear. The gated cobbled driveway provides parking for several vehicles and leads to a larger than standard double garage with electric doors. The garage also offers potential for conversion into an annexe, subject to planning approval.
The rear garden has the benefit of day-long sunshine and has been lovingly landscaped, with a paved patio area housing a striking and contemporary circular, white concrete seating area, perfect for Summer gatherings, with a brick-built bar providing the perfect addition to the outdoor entertaining space.
The generous lawned rear garden features a Wysteria covered pergola tunnel, making it a magical place for children to play, with the garden continuing round the side of the property, where plum and apple trees grow.
A brick-built storage building completes the outdoor accommodation provides further outdoor storage, which could also be used as a home workshop.
