About this property

An exceptional detached family home standing close to the heart of the village in a beautifully landscaped garden.

This much-loved family home has been carefully remodelled by the existing owners and offers versatile and very generous contemporary living space. It’s perfectly placed for a stroll around the village and also privacy and seclusion. The house is well-appointed and was designed to fully complement the established village setting with double glazed sash style windows and attractive tile hung elevations.

The feeling of space and light is immediate with a welcoming galleried reception hall. The generous living accommodation includes a sitting room with a wood burning stove together with bi-fold doors opening out to the garden. The large open plan kitchen/dining/sitting room is at the heart of the house and is an amazing room ideal for everyday family living also with doors opening out to the garden. The bespoke kitchen is set around an island and fitted with a range of integrated appliances, electric range cooker, cabinets, pan drawers and quartz work surfaces. An adjoining utility room provides additional practicality and a connecting door to an inner hall with access to the front and rear.

The accommodation also includes a family room and study with the potential (subject to any necessary consents) to create a self-contained annexe, if required, and making the house particularly suitable for multi-generational living, guests or those seeking independent working/hobby space.

There are four bedrooms (including two en suite shower/bathrooms) and a family bathroom to the first floor. Of note, the principal bedroom also has the benefit of a large walk-in wardrobe and each of the bath and shower rooms have been fitted with stylish white sanitary ware and large walk-in showers.

This is a very flexible and appealing family home occupying a tranquil village location.

Outside
The landscaped gardens have been carefully designed to complement the house and provide interest throughout the seasons. An attractive curved terrace adjoins the sitting room and provides an excellent space for outdoor dining and entertaining. Beyond, the gardens incorporate a pond, productive vegetable garden, raised beds and greenhouse, combining ornamental planting with practical growing areas. Mature planting and established boundaries create a private and peaceful setting. A double garage (with electric doors) provides excellent storage and further flexibility.
