Description

The accommodation is entered via a composite front door into a welcoming hallway featuring original Minton tiled flooring, an ornate radiator, clever bespoke under-stairs pull-out storage with hanging space and shelving, and additional fitted cupboards. Stairs rise to the first floor, while a convenient downstairs cloakroom is fitted with a low-level WC, vanity wash hand basin, and heated chrome towel rail.

To the front of the property sits an elegant lounge, bathed in natural light from a uPVC double-glazed walk in bay window and further side window. A wood-burning stove is set on a slate hearth with a timber mantel that provides a charming focal point, complemented by a picture rail and traditional detailing.

To the rear, the heart of the home is revealed in a magnificent extended open-plan living, dining and kitchen space, perfectly suited to modern family life and entertaining. The kitchen is fitted with a comprehensive range of contemporary high gloss cabinets with granite-effect work surfaces, a one-and-a-half bowl sink with swan-neck mixer tap, double oven, induction hob with extractor plus an integrated dishwasher and fridge/freezer. Two roof lights flood the space with natural light, while contemporary spotlighting enhances the modern finish. The cosy dining area flows seamlessly into a relaxed sitting area featuring French doors opening directly onto the rear gardens and enjoying uninterrupted views across the surrounding countryside. A multi-fuel stove with brick surround and timber mantel creates a second striking focal point, accompanied by a glazed drinks cabinet and original pine storage cupboards and drawers.

The first-floor landing, enhanced by attractive wood effect panelling, leads to two generous double bedrooms and a further single bedroom, currently used as a dressing room/study. The principal bedroom enjoys a bay window to the front with a fitted window seat and storage beneath, an original tiled fireplace, picture rail and floor-to-ceiling fitted wardrobes. A second double bedroom overlooks the rear gardens and open countryside and features an original fireplace and fitted wardrobes. The family bathroom is fitted with a panelled bath with period style chrome rain-shower over, pedestal wash hand basin, low-level WC and contemporary upright feature radiator.

A return staircase rises to the second floor, where two further sizable double bedrooms offer excellent flexibility, one currently used as a sitting room or home office and enjoying elevated views over the gardens and countryside through distinctive rear and side windows. The accommodation on this level is completed by a stylishly refitted shower room, comprising a double shower enclosure with electric shower and roller glass screen, vanity wash hand basin with storage beneath, low-level dual-flush WC, heated chrome towel rail, obscure double-glazed window, extractor fan and spotlighting.

Externally, the property is set well back from the road behind an extensive gravelled driveway providing parking for numerous vehicles. Gated side access leads through to the beautifully landscaped rear gardens, which are a particular highlight of the home overlooking the fields. The gardens feature tiered decking with matching steps, a timber general store with power and lighting, lawned areas bordered by well-stocked perennial planting and a further gravelled patio area adjacent to the field. The entire garden enjoys a delightful open aspect, backing directly onto rolling countryside and offering a wonderful sense of privacy and tranquillity. Last but definitely not least is the bespoke home office garden building with light, power and glazed picture windows framing the views.
An early internal inspection is strongly recommended to fully appreciate the quality, character and versatility of this exceptional family home.
