This exceptional detached residence offers a wonderful balance of character, space and contemporary living, set against a backdrop of open fields and rolling countryside.
The original Victorian home has been thoughtfully enhanced by a striking modern extension, creating a seamless blend of period charm and contemporary design. The result is an impressive and highly versatile family home, perfectly suited to modern lifestyles. Throughout the property, the finish is of a consistently high standard, with a tasteful, neutral palette complemented by natural materials and meticulous attention to detail.

At the heart of the home lies a stunning open-plan kitchen and dining space, fitted with bespoke cabinetry, high-quality integrated appliances and a central island ideal for informal dining. Exposed timber beams and extensive glazing flood the room with natural light, while bi-fold doors create a seamless connection to the garden. A separate utility room provides additional practicality.
The ground floor also features a generous sitting room with two matching feature fireplaces, offering a warm and inviting space for relaxation, alongside a formal dining room for entertaining. A superb games room, complete with bar and adjoining secondary kitchen, offers excellent entertaining space. The arrangement of space and amenities in this area of the property create an excellent opportunity for it to operate as a fully self-contained annex. This makes it particularly well suited for multigenerational living, for extended family members such as elderly relatives, adult children, or guests. Further versatile accommodation includes a dedicated home office and an attractive mezzanine-level snug, adding character and flexibility to the layout. There is also a basement level, providing excellent storage. The bedroom accommodation is particularly impressive, with five well-proportioned bedrooms arranged across the first and second floors.
