Set back from the road behind a picture-perfect lychgate-style entrance, this family home dates back to the 1700s. The combination of oak beams, an inglenook fireplace, and an Aga, along with a contemporary sense of style, creates a stunning and inviting home.
The generous proportions of the double-aspect sitting room are framed by exposed oak beams, with a magnificent fireplace that serves as an instant focal point. Across the hallway, the superior kitchen is fully fitted with tasteful Shaker-style cabinets and granite countertops. It includes a modern range cooker and an American-style fridge-freezer. A large central island with a breakfast bar separates the room, while the dining and seating area is complemented by a vaulted glass ceiling with stunning oak beams. French doors and bi-fold doors enhance the light-filled space, making it perfect for both family meals and entertaining. Adjacent to the kitchen is a separate spacious utility room, with exposed brick walls, a wood floor, and an eye-catching Rayburn.
Cleverly designed, the principal bedroom features a dressing room and a large en-suite bathroom on the ground floor, with a private staircase leading up to the bedroom. A door opens onto a generous sized balcony, adding the perfect finishing touch. The charm and character continue throughout the home, with three more good-sized bedrooms and a bonus loft room, which could serve as an occasional bedroom. All the rooms are well-maintained and offer comfortable living spaces. The stylish family shower room includes a glass-framed walk-in shower and a heritage suite finish off the internal accommodation.
Outside
The lychgate-style gateway opens onto a charming walled garden with a brick-paved path leading to the double-fronted façade, complete with distinctive chimney breasts and climbing roses. Step out from the dining area and choose between a paved patio or a decked terrace to enjoy outdoor meals. An idyllic Shepherd's Hut offers a good-sized home office space, and there is an additional brick outbuilding with a viewpoint.
