Clereholt is a charming character property dating back to around 1900, with later additions and recent, meticulous refurbishment throughout. Our clients have cleverly designed the property so that it can comfortably be used as a single home or with a two-bedroom integral annexe, perfect for multi-generational living.

The triple-aspect family kitchen/dining area enjoys an abundance of natural light and finished to a high standard, featuring a granite-topped island with an integrated breakfast bar, bespoke cabinetry, and flagstone flooring.

The spacious drawing room, accessed from the kitchen, offers high ceilings, a bay window, and hardwood flooring, making it ideal for relaxation and entertaining. A second reception room, currently a study, could easily serve as a playroom or extra bedroom.

Upstairs, the principal bedroom includes built-in cupboards and a spacious en suite with double sinks and views onto the garden. There are a further three double bedrooms (one en suite) which share a family bathroom room and a laundry room.
