An impressive five bedroom stone and slate village home offering generous, versatile accommodation in an exclusive setting

Description

Constructed in 2003 using traditional stone and slate, this substantial and beautifully proportioned family home forms part of a small and highly regarded development of just five executive houses. Occupying a peaceful position within the heart of the serviced conservation village of South Witham, the property combines classic materials with modern family living.

The accommodation is both flexible and well balanced, extending to five bedrooms, two bathrooms and three reception rooms, complemented by a superb breakfast kitchen and separate utility room. The house has been owned by the same family since construction and has been meticulously maintained throughout, reflecting a genuine pride of ownership.

At the heart of the home lies the spacious breakfast kitchen, which provides an ideal hub for family life and entertaining. There is ample space for a large breakfast table, while French doors open directly onto the garden, creating an easy connection between inside and out. The kitchen is well appointed with integrated Neff appliances including fridge, freezer and dishwasher, together with a Rangemaster oven. An adjoining utility room offers further practicality, with space for laundry appliances, a sink and additional storage.

The reception rooms offer excellent versatility. The principal sitting room is a generous, double-aspect space with French doors opening onto the garden, and a central open fireplace with brick surround providing a warm and inviting focal point. In addition, there is a formal dining room, also enjoying a double aspect and French doors to the garden, alongside a separate study which could equally serve as a snug, playroom or home office, depending on requirements.

Upstairs, the principal bedroom suite is particularly spacious and benefits from built-in wardrobes and a well-appointed en suite shower room. Bedrooms two and three are both comfortable double rooms, with bedroom two enjoying attractive double-aspect views over both the front and rear of the property. Bedrooms four and five are single rooms, ideal for children, guests or use as home offices. All bedrooms benefit from built-in wardrobes and are served by the family bathroom, which is fitted with both a bath and a separate shower.

Outside, the west-facing rear garden is a particular highlight. Predominantly laid to lawn, it features a generous paved terrace providing ample space for al fresco dining and entertaining, framed by mature trees and well-established borders. A tiered vegetable garden and greenhouse add further interest for keen gardeners.

The property is approached via a gravel driveway providing parking for up to six vehicles and leading to a large double garage. The garage offers additional space above which, subject to the necessary planning consents, presents an excellent opportunity to create a separate home office, studio or ancillary accommodation, enhancing the property’s already impressive versatility.

Overall, this is a substantial and thoughtfully designed village home, ideally suited to modern family living, with scope to adapt and evolve over time in one of South Witham’s most desirable settings.
