Description
A rare and exciting opportunity to acquire this impressive and characterful home, originally built in 1910 and set within beautifully maintained grounds of approximately three-quarters of an acre. Lovingly owned and enhanced by the current vendors for the past 25 years, the property has been sympathetically extended and modernised, blending original charm with modern comforts.
Inside, the accommodation is spacious and welcoming. A family room with patio doors opens into a generous conservatory - a wonderful light-filled space with panoramic views over the gardens. An archway connects the family room to the sitting room, where a cosy log burner and French doors create an inviting and relaxed atmosphere, also leading into the conservatory.
The large kitchen/diner is the true heart of the home, fitted with a range of wall and base units, an oven, hob, Everhot electric cooker, and space for a dishwasher. Patio doors provide easy access to the garden, perfect for entertaining or enjoying outdoor dining. A useful utility room with a sink and space for a washing machine and tumble dryer adds practicality, while a separate office and a convenient WC complete the ground floor.
Upstairs, the landing leads to four well-proportioned bedrooms and two bathrooms - one fitted with a bath and the other with a shower.
Outside
Double wooden gates at the front provide access to this impressive plot, which enjoys extensive parking for multiple vehicles and leads to a separate substantial open barn, workshop/garage/annexe and main house.
Attached to the large workshop/garage there is a storage room, washroom and carport. A separate entrance leads to the one-bedroom annexe above, with an open-plan kitchen/living area with balcony offering lovely views, bathroom suite and bedroom.
The gardens wrap around all sides of the property, well enclosed by mature hedging to create a sunny and secluded setting. A full-width patio with a retaining wall provides the perfect spot for outdoor entertaining, while the remainder of the garden is laid to lawn with well-stocked flower borders, adding colour and charm throughout the seasons.
