Description

A Distinguished Detached Period Residence with Exceptional Character and Grounds

Set within a private location in Wilderness Road and enjoying elevated views across its beautiful gardens and treetops beyond, this impressive detached period home offers an abundance of charm, space, and character. Arranged over three floors with an additional basement level, the property provides generous and versatile accommodation extending to six bedrooms, four reception rooms, and a wealth of original features.

Upon entering the home, the sense of character is immediately apparent. The principal reception room is a magnificent space, centred around a striking open fireplace that creates a warm and inviting focal point. Large windows frame stunning views over the rear garden and towards the treetops, filling the room with natural light and creating a wonderful setting for relaxation.

Complementing the main sitting room are three further reception spaces, offering excellent flexibility for modern family living. A formal dining room provides a setting for gatherings and entertaining, while the family room offers a comfortable and informal retreat. Adjacent to the kitchen is a charming breakfast room, ideal for relaxed mornings and everyday dining.

The kitchen is practical and characterful, featuring a traditional Aga cooker and ample space for culinary preparation with potential to enlarge by potentially utilsing the breakfast room and pantry.

The first floor hosts four well-proportioned bedrooms. The principal bedroom suite is particularly impressive, benefitting from a generous walk-in dressing room which incorporates a mezzanine level—an ideal space for a home office or reading area. From the dressing room, there is direct access to a modern and stylish ensuite bathroom. This floor is further served by a family bathroom, a separate shower room, and an additional W/C.

Stairs rise to the top floor, where a practical library area creates a peaceful retreat for reading or study, alongside two further bedrooms which offer excellent accommodation for guests, older children, or additional workspace.

Externally, the property continues to impress. To the front, a carriage driveway provides ample parking and access to a detached double garage. A rockery-style garden enhances the approach and complements the character of the home.

To the rear lies a truly remarkable garden, offering a tranquil and picturesque environment. A raised decked terrace sits at treetop level, creating a spectacular vantage point from which to enjoy the surrounding natural beauty and peaceful setting. From here, steps meander down through the garden to an expansive lawn.

A natural spring-fed pond forms a beautiful feature within the grounds and feeds a small stream that winds its way through the garden before joining the River Eden at the foot of the property. A gardener’s shed provides useful storage, while a gate leads to a further parcel of land extending to approximately 2.5 acres.

This additional land is shared between thirteen neighbouring properties and is held for the exclusive enjoyment of the shareholders. It offers a wonderful space for walking, recreation, and community gatherings. A footpath leads through this land to Spring Lane Pond and continues onwards to the much-loved Haycutter public house, making this setting both idyllic and conveniently connected to local amenities.

This exceptional home offers a rare opportunity to acquire a property of remarkable character in a truly beautiful natural setting, perfectly suited to family living and entertaining alike. Call us now for more information, we are Open 8 am - 6 pm 7 Days a Week
