Description

Wheldon House, rich in history and character, dates back to 1726 and is proudly Grade II listed. This beautiful home blends its timeless charm with a careful and respectful modernization. Set on a 0.25-acre plot, the property exudes period elegance, with a striking stone façade surrounded by mature hedgerows offering the upmost privacy.

Upon entering, the inviting hallway establishes the atmosphere, with luxurious LVT herringbone flooring that flows seamlessly throughout the ground floor. The home features two custom-designed kitchens, each fitted with top-tier Neff appliances. The main kitchen is equipped with a five-ring gas hob, double oven, microwave, larder fridge, and dishwasher. The rear breakfast kitchen offers similar appliances, plus generous storage and granite countertops.

The heart of the home is found in its elegant living areas. The main living room is centered around an electric fire set in a cast iron and marble surround, creating both warmth and a classic focal point. A secondary lounge provides extra comfort, while a peaceful rear snug features a modern lift to the first floor. The grandiosity of the main dining room presents the classic open fire insert, making the space a go-to for formal gatherings.

On the first floor, five spacious bedrooms await. The master suite and second bedroom each have a fully tiled en-suite with a walk-in shower, vanity basin, and W.C. The main bathroom is a luxurious retreat, featuring a large bath, marble-topped sink unit, and a classic radiator. The second floor offers a versatile additional room with easy access to loft storage.

To the exterior of the property, the beautifully landscaped gardens provide delightful outdoor spaces, with carefully chosen plantings. Two summerhouses, each benefitting from electricity and air conditioning, with one serving as a fully equipped office with Wi-Fi connection. The property also includes two garages, one of which is set up as a utility room and laundry area, with an added W.C. for convenience. A further sanctuary wraps around the home with a range of forestry and neat patio, perfect for alfresco dining.

Wheldon House is accessed via an electronic gate at the rear and offers a spacious, block-paved driveway with ample parking.

This impeccable home has nearly three century's of history, with bounds of character from modern to classic, it is not to be missed. A viewing is highly recommended!
