About this property

A substantial detached country house, surrounded by just under one and a half acres of lovely, landscaped gardens and grounds, in a tranquil setting. With origins dating back to the 1930s, the property has been significantly enhanced and remodelled by the current owners, successfully combining the charm and character of its period detailing with the requirements of modern family living.

The house is approached via a gated driveway leading through immaculately maintained gardens to a generous parking area and detached quadruple garage with useful loft room above. Stylishly presented throughout, the accommodation extends to approximately 4,650 sq ft and offers an excellent balance of formal and informal living space.

Forming a magnificent sociable living space, the open-plan kitchen, dining and family room, created as part of a substantial extension undertaken by the current owners, features a dramatic vaulted ceiling, impressive feature glazing, wide sliding doors opening onto the terrace and a contemporary wood- burning stove, this outstanding space has been designed for both family life and entertaining. Natural light floods the room throughout the day whilst providing uninterrupted views across the gardens and neighbouring woodland.

Furnished with extensive wall and base cabinetry in the ‘Shaker’ style, the kitchen has been expertly laid out and features integrated appliances, a substantial central island and generous preparation space. A separate utility and laundry room provides excellent ancillary storage and practical workspace.

Elsewhere on the ground floor accommodation includes a welcoming reception hall, an elegant dual-aspect drawing room of over thirty feet in length, a comfortable snug/family room and a dedicated home office, ideally suited to modern hybrid working arrangements.

The first floor provides a superb principal bedroom suite incorporating extensive fitted wardrobes and en suite facilities. Four further bedrooms are served by a family bathroom, whilst the second floor offers a versatile fifth bedroom together with a substantial dressing room and extensive eaves storage.

Outside
Outside, the gardens create a particularly attractive setting, with extensive lawns, mature trees, established planting and a large ornamental pond. A broad stone terrace spans the rear of the property, perfectly positioned for outdoor dining, entertaining and enjoying the peaceful surroundings. The detached quadruple garage and separate outbuilding provide excellent storage and further flexibility for a variety of uses.
