Claygate Road, Laddingford, ME18

This detached bungalow has been reconfigured and updated by the current owners, to create a stunning family home with exceptional living space and generous room proportions, all finished to a high standard. Set within gardens and grounds of approximately 2 acres, behind a gated entrance and within a short walk of the village primary school.

The large hallway creates a welcoming entrance to the property, with a large double cupboard for coats and shoes. To the front of the house, double doors open to the fabulous living room which is an amazing space for entertaining friends and family and has hosted many a Christmas get together with ease. This triple aspect room, measuring 29’10 × 26’4 has doors to the garden and is fitted with a woodburner to feel cosy in the winter. The 36’8 kitchen/dining/family room is across the rear of the property, with vaulted ceiling with rooflights, windows to the front and bi-fold and patio doors to the rear garden making this an incredibly light and bright space with a seamless connection with the gardens. The kitchen area is fitted with attractive, shaker-style units with Quartz worksurfaces incorporating a breakfast bar, and integrated appliances include an eye-level double oven, induction hob, fridge/freezer and dishwasher, together with a Quooker hot water tap. There is also a useful pantry providing additional storage. Off the hallway, there is a guest cloakroom as well as a utility/boiler room which has space for a freestanding washing machine and tumble dryer.

The master bedroom is a generous double room, with en-suite featuring a shower-bath, wash basin and WC. There are two further double bedrooms, one having an en-suite shower room. We understand from the owners, that there is also potential to extend into the attic space to create additional bedrooms and bathroom, from an existing planning consent, if required. The property has underfloor heating throughout, powered by an air source heat pump.

A large patio across the rear of the property, is the perfect space for summer barbecues, and leads on to a large expanse of level lawn, interspersed with mature shrubs and trees, with the area at the far end of the grounds, having been landscaped to create a wild flower meadow. To the right of the property, is a large boating and fish pond, creating a sense of serenity and the hammock hanging in the tree shows how this has been a much loved area for relaxation by the current owners.

In addition to the main house, there are numerous outbuildings for a variety of uses and offers the perfect opportunity for multi-generational living or for those wishing to run a business from home. The barn to the left of the property, has twin garages and an internal workshop or home gym. At the far end of this barn, is a two bedroom annexe, with the ground floor having a kitchen/dining/sitting room leading to a double bedroom with fitted wardrobes and an attractive en-suite shower room. An external staircase leads to a second sitting room beneath the eaves, leading to the second double bedroom and en-suite bathroom. We understand the annexe has its own air source heat pump and underfloor heating for comfort. The annexe offers versatility for family members living with you, guest accommodation or a potential earning opportunity as a holiday let.

A garden office enjoys a beautiful view over a calming water feature and attractive planting, with the path leading around to a separate summer house. Overlooking the pond, is a large timber outbuilding which comprises a spacious studio and three office areas, with attached shower room with external access. Last, but not least, is a further timber garden studio and there are additional timber garden sheds tucked away behind a fenced, working area of the garden, providing plenty of useful storage.

The entrance to the property is gated, leading to extensive parking and the twin garages, ensuring plenty of parking for your family and visitors. The property presents an excellent opportunity for individuals looking to operate a business from home or for those considering multi-generational living arrangements, due to its versatile layout and additional accommodation options.

In summary, this property offers very comfortable and luxurious living, plenty of space to host social gatherings, charming outdoor spaces, and potential for diverse uses, making it an attractive prospect for discerning buyers seeking a unique and versatile home environment, perfect for outdoor enthusiasts and nature lovers alike.
