The drive can accommodate 2 vehicles, has a convenient EV charger and there is additional, off-road parking directly outside the gates for visitors.

Stepping through the front door, you’re greeted by a functional entrance hall, with convenient panelled guest WC off a which then guides you into the heart of the home.

A charming wooden staircase, with Velux window above, allowing light to fill the space then ascends to the upper floor.

Returning to the hallway, we then enter the kitchen where the new extension blends seamlessly with the period part of the property.

The kitchen diner is, without question, the showstopper of this home. As the newest addition to the property, it is a testament to tasteful modernisation, complete with underfloor heating, sleek double ovens, an induction hob, and a striking central island. There is ample space for a grand dining table, making this the true heart of the home. Throw open the bifold doors and allow the living space to extend effortlessly onto the stone patio and manicured, south-east facing garden beyond; a haven of exotic plants, sprawling lawn, and the prospect of alfresco entertaining.

The charm continues upstairs, where four generously sized double bedrooms await, two with cosmetic fireplaces and all with their own large sash windows, exposed beams, and a seamless blend of modern luxury and period elegance. Each bedroom has either fitted wardrobes or ample space for freestanding furniture. The master suite is particularly impressive, featuring a recently refurbished ensuite shower room, with stunning travertine tiling. Meanwhile, the family bathroom has been thoughtfully designed to complement the home’s classical aesthetic and also features a roof light window, allowing natural light into the space,

This home has even more to offer. A versatile basement space, complete with wooden flooring, a radiator, and natural light, this presents endless possibilities, whether as a cinema room, home office, or playroom. And outside, a substantial stone-built outbuilding with power and lighting provides additional storage or the potential for conversion into a studio or workshop subject to any necessary consents.
