Description

This exceptional home offers generous family living space, featuring two spacious reception rooms, an open-plan kitchen, and a large, secluded south-facing garden.

The well-proportioned drawing room enjoys a triple aspect, an impressive brick fireplace with a wood-burning stove, fitted cupboards, and sliding doors leading to the garden. The striking dining room showcases elegant linen-fold paneling and a fireplace, while the separate sitting room benefits from a front-facing outlook.

The kitchen/breakfast room is designed for both style and function, with Shaker Kitchen Company cabinetry, quartz worktops, a central island, banquette seating, and sliding doors to the terrace. High-end appliances include a Fisher & Paykel fridge/freezer, Miele dishwasher, Falcon range, and a Perrin & Rowe boiling water tap. Limestone flooring with underfloor heating and integrated ceiling speakers complete the space.

A study with a fitted desk offers direct access to the rear terrace, while a boot room and cloakroom provide additional convenience off the entrance hall.

A downstairs shower room leads to a family room with its own outdoor access and a feature spiral staircase to a private bedroom, creating an ideal self-contained suite for teenage or multi-generational living.

To the first floor, the principal bedroom boasts bespoke fitted furniture and a high-spec en suite shower room. Three further bedrooms are served by a stylish family bathroom with a roll-top bath and separate shower. A linen cupboard provides useful storage, and the fourth bedroom can serve as a dressing room or study.

The house is approached via a tree lined private lane, through electrically operated wooden gates, leading onto a gravel driveway with a turning circle. The drive provides access to a timber-framed triple garage with power and lighting. Well-maintained lawns bordered by established trees and shrubs, create a picturesque setting, while pedestrian gates on both sides lead to the rear gardens.

The beautifully landscaped gardens are predominantly laid to lawn, with a generous paved terrace spanning the width of the house. A central sheltered graveled area with timber arbour and climbing planting and a second terrace provide excellent areas for al fresco entertaining. A picket fence and beech hedging enclose the heated swimming pool and a timber framed gazebo. The rear garden is partially enclosed by walls and mature hedging, offering privacy. In total the area amounts to about 0.45 of an acre.

Agents note: The current owners have had plans and quotes for a loft conversion in the main house, offering buyers the potential to increase the living space under permitted development.
