Shawford

A BEAUTIFUL FAMILY HOME ENJOYING A PLOT APPROACHING A THIRD OF AN ACRE, OFFERED WITH NO FORWARD CHAIN

In the heart of Shawford is this beautifully renovated large family home, offering exceptional versatility, superb craftsmanship, and an impressive garden setting. Extensively refurbished by the current owners since 2009, the property has been thoughtfully enhanced both inside and out, including major front and rear landscaping that elevates its overall appeal.

On approach to the home, a gravel driveway provides generous parking for multiple vehicles, leading to a car port and separate triple garage with a single electric roll door. The garage includes a dedicated workshop area and convenient access to both the garden via side access, and the main house. Power sockets and water have also been installed, adding to the practicality of the space.

Walking through the front door you are welcomed by the open entrance hall. This space provides access to all ground floor principal rooms, garage and to the first floor. From the hall, double doors open into a beautifully styled formal sitting room, featuring access to the car port and discreet ceiling wiring for a projector, giving this space opportunity to be transformed into a home cinema. Throughout the ground level, underfloor heating has been installed, with elegant solid wood flooring laid on top in the hall, cloak room, sitting room and home office. Additional accommodation includes a cloakroom, a combined shower/utility room, and a spacious home office or fifth double bedroom. For buyers seeking the option of semi-independent ground-floor living, this area to include the garage, utility/shower room, and adjacent study offers excellent potential. With existing kitchen units, a sink, and an island already in place, and subject to relevant permissions, these areas could be combined to create a self-contained one-bedroom annexe.

A highlight of the home is the impressive entrance to the kitchen and dining space. To one side sits a generous dining area ideal for entertaining, while to the other, a striking kitchen island crafted from maple wood creates a central hub for family life. The island includes integrated storage, electrical sockets, and room for bar seating. Ample worktops, abundant cabinetry, and a useful pantry, with direct garden access, ensure the kitchen is both stylish and highly practical. Porcelain tiles, feature wallpapers, and complementary Farrow & Ball finishes echo the home's subtle Art Deco inspiration. A bright dual-aspect area, currently used as an additional office, enjoys lovely garden views and access to the rear terrace, whilst completing the ground floor accommodation.

Upstairs, four well-proportioned double bedrooms are arranged around a light-filled landing. The principal suite is truly exceptional, showcasing exquisite bespoke Art Deco inspired carpentry. A former bedroom has been transformed and blended with the main suite into a luxurious dressing room with extensive built-in storage, an elegant space to prepare for the day or evening. Double doors adorned by hand crafted wardrobes lead into a beautifully finished ensuite bathroom with a walk-in shower, bath, heated towel rail, and WC. Bedroom two benefits from access to a large cupboard that could be reconfigured into an ensuite or dressing room if desired. The remaining bedrooms enjoy peaceful views across the rear garden, and a smart, fully tiled family bathroom completes the floor. Further features include modern double glazing, gas central heating, a new fuseboard, and a burglar alarm.

The rear garden has been thoughtfully landscaped for effortless outdoor living. A substantial tiled terrace provides distinct areas for dining, lounging, sunbathing, and entertaining. A designated ¿teenage zone¿ with a veranda-style outdoor bar adds extra character and versatility. Practical touches abound, including five separate mains water taps and multiple outdoor sockets ideal for barbecues and events. The garden also hosts a summerhouse, potting shed, workshop, and a well-insulated home office/garden studio with its own rear access, perfect for working from home or as a flexible family space.

Surrounded by mature trees, shrubs, and perennials, the property enjoys year-round enjoyment and a high degree of privacy. This unique home offers remarkable flexibility, exceptional attention to detail, and impressive quality throughout. It is a truly outstanding family residence, one designed to grow and adapt with its occupants.
