Wathen Way, Marsham

Maple House is a quietly impressive five-bedroom detached home, extensively remodelled and extended over the past decade to create a practical yet generous family residence. Once a three-bedroom property, careful additions to the front, rear, and side have created versatile, light-filled spaces that balance modern living with a sense of calm and privacy. The property also benefits from approved planning permission for the addition of a front porch, offering the opportunity to further enhance the entrance and day-to-day practicality of the home.

Essential updates, including full rewiring, new windows, guttering, and radiators, ensure the home is both comfortable and ready for day-to-day life.

The living areas are deliberately open and flexible. The sitting room, with a central wood-burning stove and bespoke cabinetry with subtle backlighting, flows naturally into the dining area and onto the extended kitchen/breakfast space. The kitchen, fitted with a central island, integrated appliances, and plenty of storage, offers practical family functionality while maintaining a sense of style.

Bi-fold doors open directly onto the rear terrace, providing easy access to the garden, while a well-equipped utility room keeps everyday chores organised.

A 2023 side extension, formed from the original garage, now houses two double bedrooms and a modern shower room, offering flexible space that could function as an annexe for visitors or older children. A retained section of the garage continues to provide useful storage and parking, accessed via an electric roller shutter door.

Upstairs, the principal bedroom is fitted with oak-inlaid wardrobes and soft integrated lighting, alongside two further double bedrooms and a well-appointed family bathroom. A partially boarded attic offers additional storage without intruding on living space.

Outside, the property is approached via a newly laid driveway, with space for several vehicles and scope for automated gates. The south-facing garden has been thoughtfully arranged, combining a paved terrace with a brick pizza oven, a raised lawn, a composite deck, and a large powered shed. The rear enjoys extended countryside views, providing a sense of openness and quiet that is hard to find so close to village amenities.

Maple House is a home that works as much for everyday living as for entertaining, offering adaptable spaces, a considered flow between indoors and out, and a setting that quietly connects village life with the surrounding countryside.
