Perched gracefully in an elevated position and commanding over 1.8 acres of exquisite grounds, Ravelston House is a striking detached residence that offers the rare combination of breathtaking panoramic views and enviable proximity to the heart of Waddington Village—just a gentle stroll away. This exceptional family home marries timeless architectural character with subtle contemporary flourishes, delivering versatile living spaces designed for both comfort and style.

Beyond the part-glazed front door, a welcoming vestibule with travertine flooring opens into a beautifully detailed hallway, where panelled walls and ornate coving evoke a sense of quiet grandeur. The snug, with a window framing views to the rear, flows effortlessly into the main living room - a warm, inviting space centred around a traditional open fire with an intricately carved wooden surround, tiled hearth, and cast iron inset. From here, double doors reveal a stunning garden room with a vaulted ceiling, solid wood floors, and a magnificent stone fireplace housing a multi-fuel stove, all framed by full-height glazing and French doors that open out to the garden.

The formal dining room enjoys natural light from both the side and rear, while a separate sitting room offers a refined retreat with a classic tiled hearth and elegant timber surround. At the heart of the home, the family dining kitchen is a true showpiece. Designed by Michael James, it features bespoke cabinetry, granite-topped island, Belfast sink, integrated appliances, and ample space for both a range cooker and American-style fridge freezer. An open-plan family dining area, complete with its own multi-fuel stove and garden-facing French doors, invites relaxed entertaining.

Away from the main kitchen is a practical preparation area with additional cabinetry, integrated fridge and freezer, sink, and access to both the front of the property via a stable door and the internal garage. A guest cloakroom and utility area are discreetly tucked off the main hallway.

Upstairs, the first-floor landing leads to four beautifully proportioned bedrooms, each enjoying lovely open aspects that great the rear elevation. The principal suite boasts fitted wardrobes, dual-aspect windows, and a stylish en-suite shower room. A further shower room with modern fittings and a luxurious Villeroy & Boch bathroom, complete with Jacuzzi bath and vanity basin, serve the remaining bedrooms. At the far end of the landing, a few gentle steps descend to the fifth bedroom. A study/store room and additional storage cupboard complete the upper floor.

Outside, electric gates open to a sweeping driveway with ample parking, leading to twin single garages, both with electric roller doors, lighting, and power. The grounds are nothing short of enchanting: Expansive lawns, thoughtfully designed stone terraces and walkways, mature woodland borders, and bursts of seasonal colour create a tranquil setting ideal for entertaining or simply enjoying the peace and privacy. A dedicated plant room lies tucked discreetly beside the garages.

Viewing essential to appreciate.
