A distinguished late victorian four-bedroom village home, beautifully remodelled and extended for modern family living while retaining its period character

Owner’s Thoughts
“From the moment we first walked into Ivy Dene, we felt the grandeur, space and warmth that made it feel like home. We’ve poured so much into creating somewhere for family life, entertaining and making memories, from the kitchen and day room to the garden and summerhouse. Every room has its own story.”

What We Love
“Ivy Dene has that wonderful combination of period presence and a layout that genuinely works for modern family life. The grand entrance, generous reception spaces and superb open-plan kitchen are complemented by an office, utility, four bedrooms, a lovely garden, summerhouse, side drive and garage. It’s an exceptionally well-rounded home.”

The Rest Of The Story
Ivy Dene is a striking late Victorian home that stands proudly within its village setting, combining the scale and character of a substantial period property with the space, flow and practicality expected of a modern family home. Significantly improved by the current owners, the house was taken back to brick, remodelled and enhanced by a two-storey extension, with enormous care taken to retain its original sense of presence while creating a home designed around everyday family life.

That impact begins before you even step through the front door. Ivy Dene is an imposing property on an excellent plot, and once inside, the grand entrance hall immediately establishes the proportions found throughout the house.

The reception accommodation offers plenty of flexibility, with generous spaces for both family time and entertaining. There is a living room and dining area, while the heart of the home is the impressive open-plan kitchen, dining and living space created as part of the extension. A large central island anchors the kitchen, providing a natural place to gather, prepare food and entertain, with high-quality, tasteful fittings and décor continuing throughout.

Practicality has been carefully considered too. A large utility room keeps laundry and appliances away from the main kitchen, while a downstairs WC adds further convenience. To the rear is a substantial office, providing an excellent dedicated workspace but with proportions that could equally lend themselves to a playroom or additional sitting room as family requirements change.

Upstairs, four bedrooms provide generous family accommodation, including the principal bedroom with its own en suite. One of the bedrooms is currently used as a dressing room, illustrating just how adaptable the accommodation can be. The owners also substantially reworked the first floor during their renovation, removing previous partitions and creating a large family bathroom as part of a much more considered arrangement.

Outside, Ivy Dene has been developed with family life and entertaining firmly in mind. The garden incorporates seating and patio areas alongside pathways, planters and family-friendly spaces. At the rear, a substantial summerhouse creates another place to sit, relax or entertain away from the main house, extending the way the property can be enjoyed during the warmer months.

A side drive provides valuable off-road parking and leads to the garage which will be complete upon exchange, adding another important practical feature to a home of this scale.

There is history here too. Ivy Dene has served a variety of purposes during its long life, including reportedly providing accommodation for homeless people during the Second World War. Today, however, it is very much a family home: One that has been painstakingly reshaped by its current owners through years of hands-on work.

From new coving and flooring to the extension, bathrooms, kitchen, landscaping and external improvements, the transformation has been comprehensive. The result is a substantial late Victorian home where period character and modern living sit comfortably together.

For anyone looking for generous proportions, flexible family accommodation, excellent entertaining space and a home with genuine history and presence, Ivy Dene offers something particularly special, with a primary school also just a short distance away.
