THE PROPERTY ***guide price £575,000-£625,000***
This stunning detached period home, featuring four bedrooms and three reception rooms, has undergone a meticulous modernization and enhancement, whilst preserving its original charm. The renovation work and interior design have been executed to an exceptional standard, ensuring the highest quality finishes throughout.

There is a spacious gated and gravel driveway to the front of the property, which offers ample parking for multiple vehicles and leads to a versatile garage. Currently the garage is used as a home gym and for storage, but it has the potential for change of use with the correct planning consent.

Open the front door and a light and an airy hallway leads to the stunning contemporary kitchen to the left and on to a spacious, modern family bathroom with large walk-in shower, utility room and separate stairs to two generous double bedrooms. The kitchen is bright, light and extremely well appointed. A large island in the centre with seating for three or more people, renders this the true "heart of the house". The shaker-style built-in units and modern, neutral tones, which contrast perfectly with the dark granite work surfaces make this a truly stylish and lovely space. The kitchen leads in to one of three large reception rooms, currently in use as a family dining room. Warm and atmospheric, the room is traditional in feel, echoing the historic roots of the property and features a striking, dark grey stone floor. From here, enter another of the reception rooms, a more modern, contemporary space perfect for a games room, living room or for entertaining, especially with its double French doors that open out onto the terrace and charming garden. The third reception room also leads off the dining room and is used as a "snug" by the current owners. This wonderful cozy space features a lovely Inglenook fireplace and working wood burning stove and is the ideal space for curling up with a good book!

Stairs lead from the dining room to the master bedroom, a spacious double with gorgeous aspect over the large garden and ample built in storage space. Exposed beams lend the room its sense of period charm. Adjacent is the upstairs bathroom with bath and shower attachment. A further generous double bedroom can be found here, again with feature beams and built in storage. Another smaller room, suitable for a home office or nursery completes the rooms in this part of the period home.

To the rear of the house is a beautifully landscaped, mature garden with a large lawn area and well established beds. Two patio areas afford perfect entertaining spaces, one benefiting from a pergola with flourishing vine. At the side of the property is a small "secret garden" a beautiful gravelled area that is perfectly secluded and features a traditional wisteria. The garden boasts a wealth of established plants and offers a variety of outdoor spaces for entertaining, gardening, or simply unwinding. The entire space is completely enclosed and contained by fencing making it ideal for children and pets. Outside the back door of the property is a further paved area with a well maintained garden shed and access down the side of the house to the front driveway via a high privacy gate.

Overall, this detached period home seamlessly combines modern comfort with the timeless appeal of its original character. The attention to detail and high-standard improvements make it a truly exceptional property. From the ample parking and versatile garage to the unoverlooked, fully enclosed mature garden, every aspect of this home has been thoughtfully designed to create a welcoming and inviting atmosphere.
