Ropers Lane, Wrington

Occupying an enviable and elevated position on the edge of the ever-desirable village of Wrington, Rosewood is a truly remarkable detached residence, offering a rare combination of scale, elegance and lifestyle. Extending to almost 3,000 square feet of beautifully arranged accommodation and set within mature grounds of around one-third of an acre, this home has been carefully improved by its current owners to provide both comfort and style, while still retaining the warmth and character that makes a house a family home. With its glorious south-facing gardens, far-reaching countryside views and solar-heated swimming pool, Rosewood is a property that delivers something very special. 

The property is approached through a gated entrance onto a broad driveway that sweeps up to the front of the house, providing ample parking alongside a substantial double garage with electric doors, power, workshop space and loft storage. From the outset, the sense of space and privacy is apparent, with a pretty lawned garden to the front framed by mature shrubs, and a blossoming cherry tree. 

Step through the front door and you are welcomed into a wide and inviting entrance hall that immediately sets the tone for the accommodation to follow. The quality of finish is evident throughout, with engineered oak flooring flowing seamlessly across the ground floor and oak doors throughout, providing warmth and cohesion to every room.

To the front lies the extended kitchen, a superbly bright and practical space fitted with oak cabinetry and complemented by generous work surfaces and integrated appliances, including an oven and dishwasher. There is also an additional 6 ring gas cooker. A large picture window above the sink overlooks the approach to the property, while additional windows allowing light to flood in throughout the day. This is very much the heart of the home, designed to be both functional and sociable. A useful utility room and WC sits to the side with direct access into the garden, a practical touch for families and those who love to make the most of the outdoors.

From the kitchen, the house unfolds into a series of generous reception rooms. The formal dining room sits at the centre; its oak and glazed double doors creating an elegant connection through to the main lounge. Here, a striking brick-built fireplace with oak mantel and a gas-burning stove forms a wonderful focal point, while oak-framed doors with bevelled glass open directly onto the sun-drenched terrace, creating a seamless transition between the interior and the south-facing gardens beyond. It is a room perfectly suited to both entertaining and quiet relaxation, with the changing seasons always visible just beyond the glass.

The ground floor also boasts a separate sitting room, positioned away from the main lounge to provide an additional reception space. This room has its own distinct character, with another handsome brick-built fireplace and wood-burning stove, offering warmth and atmosphere. French doors lead directly out to the pool terrace, giving this room a unique blend of cosiness in the winter months and a vibrant connection to the outdoors during the summer.

Completing the ground floor accommodation is a bathroom with shower, WC and sink, and a large study which easily doubles as a ground floor bedroom thanks to its built-in storage and generous size.

The oak staircase rises from the hall to a light and spacious landing that serves the first-floor accommodation.

The principal bedroom suite is an exceptional room, enjoying uninterrupted views across open countryside. It benefits from its own en-suite bathroom and is currently adjoined to another double bedroom, which the present owners have chosen to use as a large walk-in dressing room and secondary en-suite. This arrangement offers wonderful flexibility, as the rooms could easily be reinstated as two entirely separate bedrooms if preferred.

Along the landing are two further bedrooms, one of which enjoys a particularly special outlook across Wrington and the surrounding countryside, and also has its own private en-suite shower room. There is also a further single bedroom, perfectly suited for guests, alongside the family bathroom, fitted with bath, WC and sink.

The gardens at Rosewood are every bit as impressive as the house itself. Facing due south, they are a haven of light and tranquillity, framed by established hedging, fencing and stone walls for privacy. Expansive Indian sandstone terraces provide elegant seating and entertaining areas, while the beautifully maintained swimming pool, complete with solar-panel heating and pool room beneath, takes centre stage. Around the pool, glass balustrades with self-cleaning panels ensure clear and uninterrupted views across the surrounding countryside, a detail that adds both style and practicality.

Beyond the terraces, the gardens extend to lawn, punctuated by mature trees and abundant planting. A cherry tree adorns the front, while the rear garden boasts apple, pear and plum trees that bring both seasonal colour and fruit. A selection of outbuildings, including large sheds and workshops, provide excellent storage and hobby space, while practical features such as outdoor power, a tap, and dual side access ensure the gardens are as functional as they are beautiful. Altogether, the grounds amount to around one-third of an acre, perfectly proportioned to balance ease of maintenance with generous space to enjoy.

What we love about the property ... we think, in every respect, Rosewood represents a rare and exceptional opportunity. This is not just a house, but a lifestyle — a home that combines substantial, flexible living space with carefully landscaped grounds, superb leisure facilities, and the kind of outlook that is impossible to replicate. Whether hosting summer gatherings beside the pool, enjoying winter evenings by the fire, or simply watching the seasons change over the Wrington countryside, life at Rosewood is one of comfort, elegance, and endless possibility!
