Occupying an enviable position in one of Throop's most sought-after semi-rural locations, Fair Acres is an exceptional detached chalet home that has been beautifully modernised throughout, combining contemporary style with outstanding versatility. Whether you're searching for your forever family home, embracing multi-generational living, running a business from home, or simply seeking exceptional space inside and out, this remarkable property offers a lifestyle rarely found in such a convenient location.
A welcoming entrance hall leads to a striking contemporary kitchen, beautifully fitted with quality cabinetry, a central breakfast bar and a feature skylight that fills the room with natural light. Bi-fold doors open onto the rear garden, creating a seamless connection between inside and out—perfect for family life and entertaining.
The impressive dual-aspect living and dining room extends to over 25ft and centres around a characterful log-burning stove. Two sets of bi-fold doors open directly onto the rear garden, flooding the space with natural light and creating an effortless flow between indoor and outdoor living.
The ground floor offers three well-proportioned bedrooms, including a generous double with a beautifully refurbished En-suite shower room. Each enjoys delightful views towards the surrounding countryside and water meadows, complemented by a stylish family bathroom with both bath and separate shower.
The first floor provides a superbly versatile space, currently arranged as a sitting room, with separate WC, and equally suited as a luxurious principal suite with uninterrupted views across the Throop water meadows to the front and open fields to the rear, plus direct access to a private roof terrace, it offers a peaceful retreat to relax and unwind.
A true highlight of Fair Acres is the substantial detached building. The ground floor provides exceptional garaging with space for at least six vehicles, including a 40ft quadruple garage complete with a full-sized mechanic's inspection pit, together with an additional full-length garage providing further storage, workshop space or secure parking—ideal for collectors, enthusiasts or those running a business from home.
Above, the versatile first-floor accommodation includes a kitchenette and shower room and has the potential to provide comfortable independent-style living. It offers excellent flexibility as an annexe for multi-generational living, independent family members or guest accommodation. While also lending itself to use as a home office, studio, gym or games room. Any use as a separate self-contained dwelling would, however, be subject to the relevant planning permissions and any other necessary consents.
Outside, extensive driveway parking complements the exceptional garaging, while the beautifully maintained rear gardens provide privacy, generous outdoor space and a wonderful setting from which to enjoy the tranquil surroundings and picturesque views towards the Throop water meadows.
