Exceptional, 5 double bedroom detached home, renovated throughout to a high specification and set within approx. 1.75 acres tbv. Annexe potential. Gated entrance, double garage, no chain.
This exceptional detached residence has been fully renovated and extended by the current owners to successfully combine the charm of the original Georgian farmhouse, with modern technology and a high specification throughout to create an incredibly comfortable and exquisite family home.
Set well back from the road, off a private driveway shared with three other homes and with a gated entrance leading to extensive driveway parking, this home feels very secluded yet with the comfort of not being isolated. Steps lead up to a spacious and welcoming entrance hall and from here, there are stairs leading both up and down and double doors opening to the reception rooms to create an open flow between the rooms. There is a generous triple aspect reception room with bi-fold doors opening to a stunning orangery which in turn, has bi-fold doors to the garden. The rooms are each of a generous size but combined, result in a fabulous entertaining space with a seamless connection to the garden. In the other direction, the reception room opens to the kitchen/breakfast room with an extensive range of Neptune units with ceramic work surfaces and featuring an electric AGA and integrated appliances including two fridges, a freezer and dishwasher, together with an island unit and breakfast bar. From the reception hall, double doors open into a dual aspect snug with view over the pond and open fire. To complete the ground floor, is a cloakroom with WC and wash basin.
Upstairs, a large roof lantern floods the landing and hall below with natural light. The master bedroom is a generous, double-aspect room enjoying views across the gardens and orchard. The en-suite also enjoys a dual aspect, with a stunning freestanding bath, large walk-in shower, twin basins and WC and beyond this, is a dressing room with bespoke cabinetry. The guest bedroom is also dual-aspect, with an en-suite featuring a shower-bath, WC and wash basin with vanity storage beneath. There are two further double bedrooms on this floor, one currently being used as a dressing room. The family bathroom is fitted with a stylish, modern slipper bath, wash basin and WC with attractive shutters at the window.
This home is incredible versatile, with another floor of accommodation below the main entrance hall and having the benefit of its own entrance at the side of the house, overlooking the pond. This enables the space to be used either as an extension of the living accommodation for the house, or for an annexe for family, guests or potential holiday let, however, the separate entrance also makes it ideal for those running a business from home. At present, stairs lead down from the entrance hall to this lower level as well as having the door from the driveway at the side of the house. There is a room with a lovely view of the pond, which is currently arranged as a study and has also been used as a modest sitting room or snug previously. An internal kitchen is fitted with a good range of white gloss units and features an electric oven, induction hob, fridge/freezer, dishwasher, together with space for a washing machine and tumble dryer. This is a fully functioning kitchen if this level is to be used as standalone accommodation but could also be a very well-equipped utility room with useful additional appliances if hosting large gatherings. The double bedroom is double aspect, also enjoying a view of the pond, and leads through a dressing area with fitted wardrobes to either side and into the en-suite with large walk-in shower featuring both monsoon and hand-held showers, twin stone basins, WC and our sellers have a freestanding sauna around the corner. There is also a large internal room which is currently used as a pilates studio. However, this could be the perfect space for a home gym or to create your very own cinema room. Lastly, there is another internal room which is a plant room, housing the data cabling amongst other things and there is another outbuilding just behind the house, which is another plant room.
Outside, together with plenty of driveway parking, there is a double garage and a second outbuilding which has secure storage to one side and a car port to the other. There is also an electric car charger fitted to the parking area.
The gardens wrap around the property with an attractive pond off the driveway and then steps leading up, past the front door and past a Wisteria clad trellis to the rear garden. There is a large expanse of level lawn with raised beds and trellis fencing, creating a colourful backdrop and shelter to the spacious patio. A particular feature of this beautiful garden, is the outdoor kitchen which is equipped to be enjoyed throughout the summer, with useful storage, sink and worksurfaces all beneath cover along with a pizza oven, space for a Big Green Egg barbecue (available by separate negotiation) and space for a drinks fridge. With power and light connected, breakfast bar, further seating area, and roll down covers to the sides, you can rest assured the great British weather cannot interfere with your entertaining plans. The sellers and their family very much enjoy their above ground, round pool during the summer months and this is also to be included within the sale. A few gentle steps lead up from the garden and into the area referred to by the sellers as the orchard and here you can find a lovely selection of fruit trees including some very productive apple trees. The gardens and orchard extend to approximately 1.75 acres, all feeling very private with mature trees and hedging to the boundaries providing a pretty green outlook and our sellers have commented how beautiful the night sky is here with very little light pollution, allowing you to enjoy starry skies.
This home really is very special indeed and truly must be viewed in person to fully appreciate all it has to offer, both inside and out. For sale with No Onward Chain.
