A rare opportunity to acquire a former headmasters house that has been modernised by the present owners to create an excellent example of a charming family home that successfully blends period features with modern-day living. The house is set within mature gardens that provide a high degree of seclusion. In addition to the main house, office space above the double garage is ideal for those seeking to work from home. The beautifully presented accommodation ranges over two floors and the character features include excellent ceiling heights, original fireplaces in many of the rooms, sash windows, moulded cornicing, ceiling roses and stripped wooden floors, doors, architraves and skirtings.
The house benefits from three reception rooms: the elegant sitting room boasting a large bay window, a marble fireplace and double doors opening out to a secluded patio area, the spacious dining room, also with a large bay window and a period fireplace, and a family room, which could be utilised as a fifth bedroom if required. The Mark Wilkinson kitchen is fitted with a range of units, a central island with a granite worksurface, and appliances. The adjoining boot room provides additional kitchen space with further appliances, units, and a ceramic sink, and there is also a useful utility area, store room and a cloakroom.
The first floor is arranged to provide four double bedrooms, all with fireplaces, a modern family bathroom, a shower room and a cloakroom.
The gardens are a key feature of the property and are stocked with a wide variety of flowering plants, shrubs and trees to create 'year round' interest. To the front, an attractive tiled pathway leads through the garden to the entrance of the house and, in addition to the double garage, a gravelled driveway provides off-road parking. The gardens are principally laid to lawn and incorporate areas designed for relaxation and 'al fresco' dining.
