Distinguished Four Bedroom Detached Stone-Built Village Home with Private Wrap-Around Gardens & Garden Studio | Little Grove, Marston St. Lawrence

The Home

Set behind mature boundaries and approached via a gated driveway, Little Grove is an individual detached stone-built home that immediately conveys a sense of quality, privacy and permanence.

Having been cherished by the current owners for almost three decades, the property has provided an exceptional family home, combining generous room proportions with a wonderfully peaceful village setting. Extending to approximately 2,000 sq ft, the accommodation is beautifully balanced, offering flexible spaces for both family life and entertaining.

A welcoming entrance hall introduces the home, leading through to a collection of light-filled reception rooms where large windows frame attractive garden views and allow natural light to flood the interiors. The layout has been designed to provide both formal and informal living spaces, creating a home that adapts effortlessly to modern family life.

At the heart of the property is the impressive kitchen and dining room. Featuring notably high ceilings and excellent proportions, this is a space that feels both sociable and practical, with ample room for family gatherings, entertaining and everyday living. The owners particularly fell in love with the sense of space this room provides, and it remains one of the home's standout features today.

The first floor offers four well-proportioned bedrooms, all enjoying pleasant outlooks and generous dimensions. The principal bedroom benefits from a beautifully upgraded en-suite shower room complete with a luxurious monsoon shower, while the family bathroom has also been modernised to a high standard and features a monsoon shower over the bath.

Further practical features include a fully boarded loft with power, lighting and ladder access. For buyers seeking additional accommodation, neighbouring homes have successfully extended into the roof space to create a third floor, highlighting the property's future potential, subject to the necessary permissions.

The Garden & Grounds

One of Little Grove's defining features is its exceptional wrap-around garden.

Enjoying a desirable south-east aspect, the grounds have been lovingly cultivated over many years and provide an outstanding degree of privacy. Mature trees, established planting and carefully maintained boundaries create a secluded setting rarely found, allowing the garden to feel like a private retreat from the outside world.

Expanses of lawn wrap around the property, complemented by a substantial patio terrace that provides the perfect setting for outdoor dining, entertaining and summer gatherings. The side access adds further practicality, making gardening projects, maintenance and deliveries particularly convenient.

Positioned within the garden is a highly versatile detached garden room. Connected to mains electricity, Wi-Fi and USB points, it offers excellent flexibility as a home office, creative studio, gym, hobby room or peaceful workspace.

The detached garage benefits from power, lighting and additional loft storage, while the gated driveway comfortably accommodates four vehicles and can accommodate up to six when required. An EV charging point and external power supply further enhance the property's practicality for modern living.
