The Property
A beautifully remodelled and extensively refurbished large detached family home with an impressive self-contained annexe, finished throughout to an exceptionally high standard. The current owners purchased the property seven years ago and have since transformed it through a comprehensive programme of improvements, including complete electrical rewiring, restored and cleaned external stonework, and a new domestic sewerage treatment plant.
The remodeling has significantly enhanced both the layout and the flow of the home, most notably with the creation of a fabulous open plan kitchen/dining/family room, a stunning contemporary space ideal for modern living and entertaining. A side extension provides a practical utility room and cloakroom, while the attic has been converted into a superb bedroom suite complete with dressing room and a luxury en-suite bath/shower room.
The annexe is a standout feature, a genuine tardis, offering generous, beautifully presented accommodation, finished to the same exacting high standards. Ideal for guests, multi-generational living, or potential rental income.
Outside
Electric gates open onto a large gravelled driveway providing extensive parking. The beautiful gardens are predominantly lawned, framed by mature hedging and a variety of specimen trees. The plot extends to approximately 0.75 acres, with the surrounding countryside enhancing the sense of space, privacy, and tranquility.
Further benefits include a greenhouse, raised vegetable beds, a substantial timber shed with twin opening doors, power and lighting, together with a separate metal shed providing secure storage for a sit-on lawn mower.
