Step Inside a World of Bespoke Design

From the moment you approach, the oak front door, sheltered by an inviting oak storm porch and adorned with a wrought iron handle, hints at the quality within. Enter the welcoming hall, where beautiful herringbone parquet flooring guides your eye. Immediately to your right, a truly magnificent oak turn case staircase rises to the first floor, a sculptural work of art in itself. Adjacent to the main staircase, steps lead down to a convenient ground floor en-suite bedroom, offering flexibility and privacy. Straight ahead, the hall opens into the sophisticated kitchen and breakfast area, while to your left, an impressive living space awaits. A thoughtfully placed downstairs WC is also located off the hallway, between the kitchen and living areas.

Unwind in Grandeur

The impressive living room is the heart of this home, featuring a full-height vaulted ceiling with original exposed beams that create a striking architectural feature and a sense of grandeur. Flooded with natural light from Velux windows and a charming circular window, this unique space is bathed in warmth. Original openings have been meticulously restored, including an arched opening cleverly transformed into a large window with an oak sill below. A second oak staircase ascends from this room, and a glazed door provides access to the orangery, a fantastic space for entertaining.

Culinary Delights and Seamless Entertaining

The tastefully designed kitchen features elegant shaker-style grey units complemented by sleek white quartz work surfaces and a complementary white tiled backsplash. Neutral stone tiled flooring adds warmth underfoot. Integrated appliances include an electric oven with an induction hob and extractor hood, an integrated fridge, freezer, and dishwasher. A door from the kitchen provides direct access to the private rear garden. Off the kitchen, a convenient utility room offers additional storage, a sink, and space for laundry facilities.

An Entertainer's Dream Orangery

From the kitchen, two steps lead up to a spacious orangery, an exceptional space featuring surround glazed windows that flood the room with light and offer captivating views over the garden. Double doors lead directly out to the garden, and further double glazed doors connect seamlessly to the living space, creating an expansive area perfect for entertaining. The orangery boasts vaulted ceilings and exposed ceiling beams, while chunky oak has been exquisitely carved to frame the garden views beautifully, adding another layer of bespoke craftsmanship.

Private Retreats and Luxurious Baths

The ground floor bedroom is a bright and inviting space, benefiting from two windows to the front. Wooden flooring and exposed ceiling beams add character and warmth. The en-suite bathroom is both tasteful and modern, featuring a WC, a vanity sink unit with storage, a shower with both rainfall and handheld heads, a heated towel rail, and an illuminated mirror.

Ascend the main staircase from the hall to discover three generous bedrooms, one of which boasts its own en-suite shower room, and a well-appointed family bathroom. Upstairs, characterful vaulted ceilings with exposed beams continue the theme of bespoke design, and an abundance of natural light creates an airy and inviting atmosphere throughout.
