Exceptional Detached Home in Walpole St. Peter Offered with No Onward Chain

A striking five-bedroom country home where considered architecture, exceptional craftsmanship and highly efficient technology come together in effortless style.

Set within the peaceful surroundings of Walpole St Peter, Applewood Farm is a bespoke detached residence extending to approximately 2,308 sq. ft., created by local craftsmen using carefully selected materials, fixtures and finishes.

From its Vandersanden Old Farmhouse brick elevations and solid oak cladding to its black pantile roof and elegant cream flush-casement windows, the house has an assured presence. Yet it is inside where the attention to detail truly reveals itself.

At the heart of the home is an impressive 25’7” x 23’8” kitchen and dining room - a beautifully proportioned setting for both relaxed family life and memorable occasions. Cream Shaker-style cabinetry is paired with Dekton worktops, matching upstands and brushed-brass details, while a substantial central island provides a natural focal point. A Rangemaster 110 cooker, pot-filler tap, American-style fridge-freezer, Butler sinks and integrated appliances complete a space designed as much for entertaining as it is for everyday living.

Cream bi-fold doors open the room towards the garden, allowing celebrations and summer evenings to flow seamlessly outside. A separate utility room keeps the practicalities discreetly contained.

The sitting room offers a more intimate retreat, with soft carpeting and generous proportions creating an inviting place to unwind. Alongside it, a versatile snug or home office brings valuable flexibility - equally suited to quiet working, reading or children’s space.

Upstairs, five bedrooms provide excellent accommodation for family and guests. The principal suite feels particularly indulgent, with a private dressing room and beautifully appointed en-suite shower room. A second en-suite bedroom adds further comfort, while the remaining bedrooms are served by a luxurious family bathroom.

Throughout the bathrooms, fully tiled walls, large-format porcelain finishes, rainfall showers, brushed-brass fittings, heated mirrors and towel rails continue the home’s refined and cohesive design language.

A highly efficient Panasonic air-source system provides heating and air conditioning throughout the property, complemented by ground-floor underfloor heating. Extensive Solar PV arrays are positioned across both the front and rear roof slopes, supported by battery storage, while an EV charging point provides additional convenience for contemporary living and a ACHI warranty provides additional peace of mind.

Limestone flooring, oak barn-style doors, substantial architraves and deep skirting boards reinforce the quality found throughout. An oak staircase with black metal balustrading forms a handsome architectural centrepiece, with thoughtfully integrated storage ensuring that practicality has never come at the expense of style.

Outside, porcelain-paved terraces extend around the front, side and rear of the house, creating a choice of spaces for dining, entertaining and relaxation. The rear garden is laid to lawn and enclosed by perimeter fencing, while a shingle driveway and porcelain-paved entrance provide an elegant approach.

The result is a home of rare completeness: sophisticated without feeling formal, highly specified without losing warmth, and designed to offer an exceptional standard of everyday living.
