DESCRIPTION
There is something immediately special about this remarkable period home. Set behind wooden gates within mature grounds of approximately 0.4 acres, the house feels wonderfully private, yet remains well connected to the village, surrounding countryside and London.
Carefully maintained and thoughtfully extended over the years, the property retains the warmth and individuality expected of an early 18th-century home. Exposed beams, timber floors, traditional fireplaces and an impressive inglenook sit comfortably alongside bright, practical spaces created for modern family life.
The accommodation extends across three floors and offers five double bedrooms, several reception rooms and a beautifully appointed farmhouse-style kitchen. Outside, the substantial gardens, entertaining terrace, self-contained annexe and timber barn provide enormous flexibility for families, guests and those working from home.
THE MAIN HOUSE
The entrance lobby opens into a welcoming dining room centred around an impressive inglenook fireplace. This atmospheric room is ideal for long lunches, family celebrations and evenings spent entertaining friends.
Across the hall, the snug provides a more intimate place to unwind, with a wood-burning stove creating a cosy retreat during the colder months.
At the rear of the house, the spacious living room is filled with natural light from dual-aspect windows. Patio doors open directly onto the terrace, allowing everyday life to flow naturally into the garden throughout the warmer months.
The kitchen and breakfast room forms the true heart of the home. Beautifully fitted in a farmhouse style, it offers a central island where family and friends can gather, whether for relaxed breakfasts, evening drinks or cooking together. Views across the garden further enhance its warm and sociable atmosphere.
A substantial utility and boot room provides valuable space for muddy shoes, coats and everyday family life, while a ground-floor shower room and cloakroom add further practicality.
The first floor offers three generous double bedrooms. The principal bedroom benefits from a modern en-suite shower room, while the family bathroom combines traditional character with a freestanding roll-top bath.
Two further double bedrooms occupy the second floor, providing excellent flexibility for older children, guests, hobbies or quiet home-working spaces.
THE ANNEXE
Positioned beside the main house is a fully self-contained studio annexe with its own private courtyard garden.
The accommodation includes an open-plan living and sleeping area, a stylish refitted kitchenette and a modern wet room. It is ideally suited to visiting family, independent relatives, guest accommodation or a home-based business.
GARDENS AND OUTBUILDINGS
The gardens are an important part of the lifestyle offered by this home. A large rear lawn is bordered by mature trees and established planting, creating a wonderfully private setting for children, summer gatherings and quiet afternoons outdoors.
A broad terrace and covered seating area provide plenty of room for outdoor dining and entertaining throughout the seasons.
Beyond the main garden stands a substantial timber-clad barn and workshop with power and lighting. This versatile building could serve as a home office, creative studio, workshop, gym or generous storage space.
The property is approached through an impressive wooden gate, opening onto a sweeping shingled driveway with parking for several vehicles. To the front, a lawn, mature planting and a charming pathway create an attractive and welcoming arrival.
