Description
Full of warmth and character, the accommodation retains many traditional features including exposed ceiling beams, feature fireplaces and generously proportioned reception rooms, all enjoying an abundance of natural light and attractive garden outlooks. Whilst beautifully maintained, the property offers exciting scope for sympathetic modernisation, allowing a purchaser to enhance and personalise the home to their own specification.
The welcoming reception hall provides access to a spacious dual aspect living room with French doors opening onto the rear terrace and gardens, a separate family room offers a cosy everyday living space, whilst the adjoining study provides an excellent home office. The formal dining room is perfectly suited to family occasions and entertaining, complemented by a generous breakfast kitchen overlooking the gardens, together with a useful utility room, pantry and cloakroom.
To the first floor, the impressive principal bedroom enjoys far-reaching views and benefits from fitted wardrobes and an en-suite bathroom. Three further double bedrooms are served by a family bathroom, whilst one also enjoys the advantage of an adjoining dressing room, providing flexible accommodation for families or visiting guests.
Externally, Acre Nook is approached via a private driveway leading to a substantial detached double garage. The mature gardens surround the property, predominantly laid to lawn with established trees, flowering shrubs and well-stocked borders, creating a wonderful sense of privacy. Stone terraces provide ideal seating areas from which to enjoy the peaceful setting, whilst the elevated position affords magnificent open views across neighbouring farmland and water, making the gardens a particular feature of the property.
Acre Nook represents a rare opportunity to acquire a substantial country home occupying an enviable rural position, offering immense potential to modernise, extend (subject to the necessary consents) and create a magnificent long-term family residence in an idyllic position.
