DESCRIPTION 

Luscombe Maye is delighted to bring to market Avon House, a charming and substantial five-bedroom detached period home dating back to 1884. Set on a generous plot of approximately 3/4 of an acre, the property enjoys far-reaching views over the surrounding countryside.

Having been in the same ownership for over 30 years, Avon House offers generous and flexible accommodation across two floors, with many period features. Notably, the property boasts two separate staircases, adding versality, with annexe potential.

This home is perfectly designed for family life, offering five generously proportioned bedrooms and two bathrooms, each equipped with a shower. At the heart of the house, the main kitchen features a range, complemented by an additional kitchen area for added convenience. Multiple reception rooms provide versatile space for relaxation or entertaining, including a living room with a wood burner—perfect for cosy evenings—and a spacious dining room, ideal for hosting friends and family. Practical touches such as a large airing cupboard and a utility room ensure plenty of storage and functionality throughout the home.

Outside, the property benefits from ample off-road parking and a double garage fitted with solar panels. The expansive gardens are mainly laid to lawn and include a greenhouse, shed, vegetable plot, and orchard, all designed to maximise the open rural outlook.

A number of useful outbuildings further enhance the property, including a workshop and a separate studio room, ideal for home working, hobbies, or additional storage.

This is a rare opportunity to acquire a spacious, characterful home that enjoys large outside space and beautiful countryside views.
