Exceptional unlisted period home in the heart of this popular village.

Description

This exceptional detached unlisted period property sits in the heart of the highly sought-after village of Ramsbury. Externally, it is immensely attractive, being double-fronted with traditional brick and flint elevations and elegant sash windows. Internally, the house has been thoughtfully updated in recent years and is beautifully presented throughout, with careful attention paid to the needs of modern-day living while retaining its character and charm.

The welcoming reception hall is generously proportioned and features fitted dwarf cupboards with shelving above, creating both practical storage and an attractive focal point. It offers ample space for sofas or a study area, making it a versatile and sociable entrance to the home. The main sitting room is charming and cosy, centred around a wood-burning stove. Bedroom 5 is located on the ground floor and provides flexibility, serving equally well as a guest bedroom or home office if required.

To the rear of the house lies the family room, an informal and comfortable space ideal for relaxed everyday living. This flows seamlessly into the stunning kitchen/dining room, which has a rustic contemporary feel, enhanced by a vaulted ceiling, exposed brickwork, wooden flooring and a mixture of slate and marble worksurfaces. The kitchen has been cleverly designed to open naturally from the family room into a generous dining area, featuring an electric Aga and enjoying delightful views over the pretty rear garden. Bi-fold doors along the side wall open onto an attractive patio, creating a private seating and dining area. Together, the family room and kitchen/dining room form the true heart of the home — perfectly suited to both family life and entertaining.

On the first floor, the principal bedroom is particularly impressive, offering a spacious sleeping area and a cleverly screened en suite, discreetly positioned behind a partial wall and featuring a recently fitted, well-appointed large shower. There are three further double bedrooms on this floor, all served by the family bathroom.
