Welcome to Eller Grove
Built in 1876, this distinctive home sits at the end of the peaceful Birches Road, surrounded by nature. Brimming with potential, it offers the perfect balance between historic charm and modern possibilities. While some updates are needed, the price reflects the opportunity—making it an incredible investment for those with vision.
Pass through the double gates and feel the satisfying crunch of gravel beneath your tires as you arrive at the spacious driveway or one of three garages—one newly built to double height, offering the potential for additional annexe living space above.
Step inside this impressive three-story home, where six bedrooms and three reception rooms await—one of which could easily transform into a seventh bedroom if needed. Enter through the new composite door into the stone-floored hallway, where the warmth of a roaring wood fire welcomes you, set against the original stone fireplace and framed by rustic timber beams overhead.
Spacious & Versatile Living Areas
Newly converted, the versatile space to the left of the entrance hallway boasts a vaulted ceiling, Velux windows, and views over the front garden. Painted white with timber laminate flooring, it’s a blank canvas ready to suit your needs—whether as a home office, studio, playroom, gym, cinema, seventh bedroom, additional living area, or even an annexe.
On the first floor, you'll find the kitchen—a stylish and functional hub featuring a combination of glossy black and white cabinets and integrated appliances, including two built-in ovens, a warming drawer, and space for an American fridge freezer. Cooking is effortless with the AEG five-ring induction hob and overhead extractor. Contrasting worktops enhance the space, with one side extending into a curved breakfast bar, subtly separating the kitchen from the lounge/diner. A separate utility room provides additional storage and laundry space for added convenience.
The lounge/diner boasts a vaulted ceiling with Velux windows, flooding the space with natural light. UPVC glazed patio doors with side panels open onto a tiered patio, offering breathtaking views of the surrounding woodland. A wood-burning stove in one corner adds warmth and character to the living area, while the other side provides ample space for a dining area, making it a perfect setting for both relaxation and entertaining.
Connected to the lounge/dining area via a few tartan-carpeted steps, the sitting room is a cozy retreat tucked away at the rear of the home. A built-in book nook adds charm, while an ornamental grate fire and beamed ceiling enhance the room’s inviting ambiance.
With three generous reception rooms spread across the ground and first floors, this home offers fantastic flexibility, allowing you to tailor the space to suit your lifestyle.
Comfortable & Adaptable Bedrooms
Eller Grove offers six well-proportioned bedrooms, each designed for comfort and character. If additional space is needed, the third reception room can easily be converted into a seventh bedroom.
The top-floor main suite is a private sanctuary, featuring a Juliet balcony with breathtaking views, an en-suite with a walk-in rain shower, and his-and-hers sinks. A spacious walk-in wardrobe ensures effortless organisation.
The remaining five bedrooms, spread across three split-level floors, each have their own unique charm, with neutral décor, plenty of natural light, and private views.
The ground-floor, lower-level sixth bedroom is ideal for visitors or independent living. It features built-in cupboards and enjoys views of both the side and front garden. The en-suite bathroom is fitted with a P-shaped bath, WC, and sink, offering convenience and privacy.
For additional comfort, the home includes two more bathrooms:
-Top-floor family bathroom – features a bath with an overhead shower, WC, pedestal sink, and travertine-style tiling.
-First-floor bathroom – a traditionally styled space with a WC and separate shower.
Stunning Outdoor Spaces
The garden is a versatile retreat for all ages. The lush lawn offers ample space for play, while the tiered patio and firepit area create the perfect setting for summer BBQs, family gatherings, and outdoor entertaining. Roast marshmallows, share stories, and unwind by the fire under the stars.
At the highest tier of the garden, a fully powered and lit garden room/studio awaits—ideal for a yoga space, art studio, home office, or private retreat.
For car lovers and hobbyists, three garages offer excellent storage and workspace. Eller Grove truly has something for everyone, and once you step inside, you’ll start envisioning your future here.
