4 bed detached house for sale

Chapel Lane, Kirby Cross, Kirby Cross CO13

Dating back to 1610, this exceptional home is a masterclass in combining history, character, and contemporary living. Thoughtfully enhanced and beautifully styled by the current owners, it offers a unique balance of period warmth and modern comfort - perfect for family life, entertaining, and remote working alike.

The house has been extensively improved, including a new roof, comprehensive insulation, four sets of bi-fold doors that fill the interior with natural light, and solar panels providing a high-tariff income and contributing to the property’s impressive energy efficiency. The kitchen/breakfast room is the true heart of the home - a space made for both cooking and connection - complete with two ovens, induction hob, microwave, coffee machine, dishwasher, and twin sinks. This opens into the garden room, added in 2022, where a roof lantern and soft lighting create a welcoming, uplifting atmosphere with views across the landscaped garden.

The ground floor flows beautifully, with a central dining room featuring a red-brick inglenook fireplace and log-burner, a sitting room with bay window and log-burner, and a cosy family room that opens through bi-fold doors onto a private patio - ideal for relaxed summer evenings. A welcoming entrance hall and cloakroom complete this well-balanced level.

Upstairs, the principal suite is a tranquil retreat with a vaulted ceiling, Juliet balcony, bespoke wardrobes, and a luxurious en suite featuring a jet-wash power shower. Three further bedrooms, including another generous double, share a stylish family bathroom.

Outside & Annex - The gardens have been designed for both beauty and practicality, offering several distinct areas to enjoy throughout the seasons. A private patio with ornamental pond links the kitchen and family room, while the south-west facing lawn enjoys all-day sunshine and is framed by mature borders and a decked path. Beyond lies a further lawn - an ideal space for children to play or for quiet relaxation.

The property also benefits from an outstanding self-contained annex - a versatile, fully finished space with fast fibre internet, an en suite shower room, and a log burner for year-round comfort. Whether used as a guest suite, home office, or creative studio, it provides an inspiring environment with peaceful garden views.

To the front, there is extensive parking with two shingled areas accommodating multiple vehicles and a driveway leading to a double garage at the rear of the plot - a rare feature that ensures both convenience and privacy.
