Description

This attractive period residence, dating from circa 1780, presents mellow red brick elevations beneath a pan-tiled roof, creating a highly appealing and timeless façade. The property retains a wealth of character features, including elegant sash windows and leaded lights, exposed ceiling beams, picture rails and decorative tiling in a Victorian style.

The gardens are a particular feature of the property, being both generous in scale and thoughtfully landscaped, with a variety of established planting that enhances the overall setting.

The accommodation is arranged around a welcoming central hallway, with two well-proportioned reception rooms to either side. The principal sitting room enjoys a dual aspect, providing excellent natural light and attractive views. A separate family room offers a comfortable and informal living space, complete with bespoke fitted shelving.

The kitchen/dining room is well appointed, featuring a distinctive corner window, a range of fitted cabinetry with granite work surfaces, a butler sink and integrated appliances. There is ample space for a large dining table, complemented by an open fireplace, making this an ideal space for both everyday living and entertaining. A useful utility room, guest cloakroom and multiple access points to the rear garden further enhance the functionality and flow of the ground floor.

On the first floor, there is a dedicated study, well suited to home working. The principal bedroom suite benefits from a walk-through dressing room and a private en suite shower room. There are four further bedrooms, served by a family bathroom, with two of the bedrooms situated on the second floor. Fitted storage is well provided throughout.

The gardens are a particular highlight, offering a variety of distinct areas including natural hedging, mature trees and informal planting, alongside more formal elements such as manicured lawns, beech and yew hedging and well-stocked borders. A pond and a paved terrace, attractively framed by wisteria, provide ideal spaces for outdoor enjoyment.

To the front of the property, a gravel driveway provides off-street parking and leads to a garage, offering both convenience and practicality.
