Morgan Kirby Gardens, Nursery Lane, Sheldwich Lees, Sheldwich

A traditionally styled detached village residence, built to an exceptionally high specification with a double vaulted garage, set within 0.23 acres of beautifully landscaped, walled gardens and situated just moments from Sheldwich village green.

1 Morgan Kirby Gardens was meticulously constructed in 1996 by Millwood Designer Homes, using the finest materials and the highest standards of craftsmanship to create a charming balance of traditional architectural style and modern luxury.

This spacious 2,000 sq.ft property is brimming with elegant features, including cast-iron fireplaces, timber-framed sash windows, rolled-top baths and French doors opening to the south-facing garden.

The handsome front door opens into a bright and airy reception hall with porcelain tiled flooring, panelled cloakroom and stairs rising to the first floor. To the left is a grand dual-aspect sitting room, centred around an ornate cast-iron gas fireplace and with French doors opening directly onto the garden.

To the far right is the modern kitchen, featuring an array of sleek units finished with quartz worktops and incorporating newly fitted appliances. A stable door provides access to the outside, while the kitchen is further complemented by a useful utility room and breakfast room with built-in seating.

The central reception room is currently used as a formal dining room and features an attractive fireplace and French doors opening onto the patio. Positioned adjacent to the kitchen, there is scope to open these two rooms to create a substantial kitchen/diner, while drawings have also been prepared for the addition of an orangery to the rear of the property.

Stairs ascend to the first floor, where a splendid galleried landing leads to five generously proportioned bedrooms, all benefiting from bespoke fitted wardrobes. Two of the larger bedrooms have elegant en-suite bathrooms, while the smallest bedroom is currently arranged as a beautifully organised dressing room. The main family bathroom is exceptionally well appointed and features a luxurious rolled-top bath.

OUTSIDE:

Set within 0.23 acres of beautifully landscaped gardens, the front garden combines expanses of lawn with neatly clipped topiary hedging. A gravelled pathway with stepping stones leads to the front door and continues towards the double vaulted garage to the right of the property, which also provides driveway parking.

The south-facing rear garden is wonderfully private and peaceful, enclosed by the original brick wall which has been beautifully dressed with white roses, window mirrors and antique shutters. The wall creates an enchanting backdrop to this truly special garden, which is further enhanced by a wooden pergola surrounded by established climbers.

To the right is a charming summer house with electricity and heating, currently used as a home office but equally suited to a children's playroom, creating a wonderful addition to this fairy-tale garden.

The patio provides an excellent space for alfresco dining and entertaining and is complete with a clay pizza oven. The front of the property can also be accessed via a gate to the side of the garage.
