Description
Welcome to Ashcroft, an exceptional opportunity to acquire a spacious and beautifully maintained five double bedroom family home, set within stunning, mature grounds in the desirable village of Porton. This impressive residence has been thoughtfully extended and meticulously improved by the current owners, offering characterful and versatile accommodation ideal for modern family life.
Tucked away off a quiet country lane, Ashcroft is approached via a long, sweeping driveway shared with one neighbouring property. Lined with trees and enveloped in greenery, the setting offers both seclusion and a sense of retreat, while remaining within easy reach of the village's amenities. A large, shingled driveway provides generous parking for multiple vehicles, accompanied by a separate garage building. The home opens into an entrance porch leading to a welcoming hallway, currently arranged as a study with a side-facing window.
The kitchen/dining room is a charming and sociable space, full of character with exposed brickwork, timber beams, and tiled flooring. There is ample room for a large dining table, with the kitchen area offering a range of matching wall and base units, laminated worktops, a ceramic sink with drainer, and a window overlooking the front garden. Adjacent is a practical utility room with additional cabinetry and space for white goods, as well as a cloakroom with WC and wash hand basin, and a rear door to the garden.
On the ground floor is a generously sized double bedroom with dual aspect windows and a private en-suite shower room. This room features a double shower cubicle, wash basin, and extensive fitted storage, making it ideal for guests or multi-generational living. The main sitting room is a warm and inviting space, enhanced by exposed beams and a wood-burning stove. From here, a cosy snug enjoys dual aspect views and double doors opening onto the garden. A garden room adjoins, featuring glazing on three sides and a solid roof, creating a serene year-round space that seamlessly connects indoors with the outdoors.
Stairs rise from the dining area to the first floor, where four further double bedrooms are located. Each bedroom is generously proportioned and full of natural light. The principal bedroom features a window to the side and an original open fireplace, while another bedroom benefits from dual aspect windows, adding to its bright and airy feel. A further bedroom is currently used as a study and enjoys dual aspect views.
The family bathroom is spacious and well-appointed, featuring a full-size bath, separate shower cubicle, WC, wash hand basin, and a large airing cupboard. A window to the side elevation provides natural light and ventilation.
Outside, the gardens are a true highlight of this home. A large patio area is ideal for al fresco dining and entertaining, leading to a tranquil pond and expansive lawn bordered by mature trees, shrubs, and vibrant planting. Additional features include a timber cabin/garden office, two sheds, and greenhouse, perfect for those with green fingers or a love of outdoor living.
Ashcroft is a beautifully presented and well-balanced family home, offering a rare combination of space, charm, and privacy in a highly regarded village setting.
