Description
A welcoming and substantial entrance hall sets the tone for this beautifully presented home, featuring a guest cloakroom with a tall cupboard ideal for coat storage. From the hall, there is access into the impressive dual-aspect living room, where a striking inglenook fireplace forms the centrepiece. Exposed stone and brickwork, a rustic wooden lintel and a wood-burning stove create a warm and characterful ambience, while French doors extend the space outdoors onto the garden patio.

The contemporary open-plan kitchen/dining/family room can be accessed from two points off the hall, including an elegant set of glazed double doors that enhance the sense of flow - perfect for entertaining. The kitchen is fitted with high-quality John Lewis cabinetry, complemented by quartz worktops and plinth lighting. Premium appliances include three neff ovens, a microwave oven, warming drawer, induction hob and extractor, alongside a Samsung wine fridge, dishwasher, full length fridge, and a Quooker instant boiling/filtered water tap. Further French doors open directly to the garden patio for easy indoor-outdoor living.

Adjoining the kitchen is a versatile utility room with a vaulted ceiling, ideal for suspending laundry from an airer, and featuring roof windows plus space for a washing machine and dryer. Both the kitchen and utility room benefit from electric underfloor heating.

Stairs rise to the first floor, where three well-proportioned double bedrooms are arranged from a spacious landing with the principal bedroom featuring illuminated Neville Johnson fitted wardrobes and a contemporary en-suite shower room. A dedicated office is fitted with bespoke Neville Johnson furniture and enjoys electric underfloor heating and high-speed FTTP broadband - ideal for home working. A modern family bathroom completes this floor. From the landing, a door reveals ‘ship ladder’ stairs leading to a substantial carpeted loft space with lighting and power, perfect for storage.

One of the property’s many highlights is the unique guest wing, forming part of the original 1930s thatched-roof section of the house, which is Curtilage Listed and benefits from a recently installed thatched ridge. Accessed via the utility room, this characterful suite includes an upstairs panelled bedroom - formerly the driver’s accommodation - together with a traditional-style shower room below and an understairs butler’s kitchen area with belfast sink and space for a mini fridge.

The garage, currently arranged for storage and divided by a stud wall (removable if desired), includes an EV charging point. Please note: The photo of the garage storage area includes CGI furnishing to depict a potential room layout.

Additional benefits include a central station alarm system, CCTV to front and rear, and a recently installed multi-zone heating control system operated via an app, allowing independent control of the main house and annex.
