Description

This imposing yet charming, detached country home enjoys excellent frontage and is set within a generous 0.85 plot, extending to 3004 Sq Ft in total.

Approached via electric gates and an expansive golden gravel driveway, the enclosed front porch opens up into a large welcoming hallway with downstairs WC and is finished with solid wood white ash floors, which run throughout much of the light and spacious downstairs accommodation. The dual aspect dining kitchen off the main hallway features solid wood, hand painted shaker style units with inset Belfast sink and a smart contrasting granite and wood finished kitchen island. The kitchen is furnished with a selection of Miele appliances, gas AGA and wine fridge. The dining area extends to the rear of the property and is finished with oak framed bi-folding doors with views over the magnificent south facing private landscaped gardens and paddock beyond. To the rear of the kitchen is a generously fitted utility room with space and plumbing for several appliances and access to the back garden and separate entrance to the integral double garage.

The ground floor provides an additional generously proportioned living room, extending to 23ft, beautifully finished with log burner and stone surround. Bi-folding doors open out to the gardens and a set of internal double doors provide direct access into the dining room. Completing the downstairs accommodation is a cosy snug room fitted with bespoke Neville Johnson furniture and finished with an electric living flame fire.
Stairs to the first floor reveal an expansive landing hall. The generous upstairs accommodation finished with oak framed windows offers four double bedrooms and a newly finished family bathroom with freestanding bath. The indulgent principle en-suite bedroom benefits from a separate dressing area and a beautifully finished wet room. The upstairs rear hallway leads to a separate guest bedroom suite finished with a walk-in wardrobe and en-suite shower room. House bathrooms are furnished with a mixture of Duravit, Hansgrohe and Axor fixtures and fittings. Completing the first floor is access to a fully boarded loft space.

This delightful country home stands far back from the road and is accessed via electric timber gates. A large golden gravel driveway sweeps passed the formal landscaped front gardens and provides off road parking for several vehicles with the additional benefit of a double integral garage.

The private and secluded south facing rear garden is planted with a mixture of mature trees, fruit trees and hedges with annuals and perennials surrounding an Indian stone patio and newly installed composite decking patio area. This is a truly wonderful, secluded place to spend sociable evenings in the summer months.

Beyond the formal landscaped gardens lies paddock land with a natural pond and shed storage. The grounds extend to around 0.84acre and provide far reaching views over greenbelt and beyond.

The property has the additional benefit of permitted development rights for an extension to build a leisure or home office suite and there is additional future potential to extend the property to add further accommodation, subject to planning consent.
