Description

A truly special 4 bedroom home, combining a highly sought-after & private setting with spacious & adaptable rooms, views, countryside access all set within a beautifully mature plot.

Description

This remarkable 1960s residence occupies what is arguably one of the most impressive, private and scenic settings in the area, enjoying an enviable position surrounded by established gardens, mature greenery and far-reaching views. Discreetly tucked away within a generous and secluded plot, the property offers a rare combination of tranquillity and accessibility, creating an exceptional opportunity for a wide range of prospective purchasers, from families to downsizers and professionals seeking a peaceful yet well-connected home.

The house itself has been lovingly cared for and thoughtfully upgraded by the current owners, resulting in well-presented and highly versatile accommodation extending to approximately 2,172 sq ft, including the garage. While beautifully maintained, the layout also offers excellent scope for a new owner to reconfigure or adapt, should they wish, to further enhance and personalise the space.

Internally, the accommodation is generously proportioned and well, with an emphasis on light, flow and connection to the surrounding gardens. A welcoming entrance hall leads through to a selection of reception spaces, including a charming family room with French doors opening onto the patio, allowing for direct access to the gardens, where a pergola draped in wisteria, well-stocked flower beds and a greenhouse create a particularly attractive and tranquil outdoor setting. A garden room with tiled flooring provides an additional reception area, enjoying views across the grounds and reinforcing the seamless relationship between inside and out.

The principal living accommodation is further enhanced by a spacious double aspect living/dining room positioned to take full advantage of the elevated outlook, featuring an expansive balcony with sliding doors, plenty of space for outdoor furniture and delightful far-reaching views. A stone fireplace with gas fire provides a central focal point to the living area, adding warmth and character.

The kitchen is well appointed with LVT flooring and fitted with a range of integrated appliances including a Neff oven, grill, gas hob and dishwasher, complemented by an adjoining utility room with washer, dryer, sink and convenient side access, as well as a practical boot room, ideal for country living.

Bedroom accommodation is arranged to offer flexibility and comfort. The principal bedroom suite benefits from a fitted dressing area, built-in wardrobes and a modern en suite shower room. Additional bedrooms are well proportioned, several featuring fitted wardrobes, and are served by a contemporary family bathroom and a further separate shower room, ensuring excellent provision for family life or guests. A fourth double bedroom further enhances the versatility of the layout.

Throughout, the property has been enhanced by key improvements including replacement windows, a relatively new boiler, newly painted kitchen and new family bathroom ensuring comfort and efficiency, while retaining the character and integrity of its 1960s origins.

Externally, the plot is a defining feature of the home, offering a high degree of privacy and a sense of seclusion rarely found, with beautifully established gardens, terraces and multiple vantage points from which to enjoy the surroundings. Additionally, the property benefits from direct access to nearby countryside, with the ability to walk out straight into the hills, further underlining its exceptional lifestyle appeal.

Overall, this is a truly special home, combining a highly sought-after and private setting with spacious and adaptable accommodation, all set within a beautifully mature plot. It represents a rare opportunity to acquire a property of both character and potential in such a desirable and picturesque location.
