Description
Occupying a prime position within a tranquil conservation village, this substantial B-listed semi-detached house represents a rare opportunity to acquire a home of exceptional character set within generous private grounds. Enjoying a substantial plot extending to approximately one third of an acre, the property combines period charm with thoughtfully designed modern living. The gardens formerly held planning permission for the construction of a separate two or three bedroom dwelling on the site of the previous garage, offering notable future potential. The house has been sympathetically extended and carefully maintained to create a generous and highly adaptable arrangement of accommodation over two floors. A welcoming entrance hallway provides useful storage and sets the tone for the space and quality found throughout the home. At the heart of the house is a superb dual aspect reception room, centred around a striking dual-faced stove which also serves the adjoining family room, creating a natural connection between the principal living spaces. The family and garden room enjoys an abundance of natural light through floor-to-ceiling glazing, framing views of the surrounding gardens and providing an inviting space for relaxed everyday living. The open plan kitchen and dining room is both elegant and practical, featuring bespoke solid beech cabinetry and a traditional Aga, with ample space for dining and entertaining. A utility room with rear porch access to the garden and a cloakroom with WC complete the ground floor accommodation. Upstairs, a generous landing with further storage leads to an impressive principal bedroom suite with a dual aspect outlook across the gardens. This refined space incorporates a dressing room, built-in wardrobes and a well-appointed en-suite shower room. Two further double bedrooms, both with built-in wardrobes, are served by a family bathroom featuring a classic claw-foot bath and separate walk-in shower. Benefits include oil-fired central heating. Externally, the gardens are a defining feature of the property, extending to around one third of an acre and offering a rare sense of space and privacy within the village setting. Beautifully stocked with a wide selection of mature plants, shrubs and trees, the garden is predominantly laid to lawn with a substantial patio area offering the ideal spot for al fresco dining during the warmer months. The grounds provide ample off-street parking and include the site of the former garage where planning permission previously existed for the construction of an additional dwelling.
