The property is stylishly presented throughout, making it perfect for family living. The property still offers significant opportunities for further extension and enhancement, including approved planning permissions, thereby unlocking its full potential as a grand family home. A charming gravelled driveway leads to the front of the south-facing façade. The front door, framed by a stunning Wisteria, opens into an impressive entrance hall with an original flagstone floor that extends throughout the ground floor. Off the hall, there are two stylishly furnished reception rooms with beautiful views of the front gardens. These rooms feature box seats beneath exquisite mullion windows and handsome fireplaces, one with a Bath stone surround and the other with an aged timber lintel. Leading from the entrance hall is a stunning 'DeVOL' kitchen situated at the centre of the house. This kitchen features hand-crafted units topped with fine Carrara marble and includes integrated appliances such as a Miele dishwasher and oven as well as a Smeg induction hob. An electric two-oven Aga provides warmth beneath a beautiful Bath stone arched chimney breast. Noteworthy is an original Elm door that hides a charming spiral staircase leading to the top of the house. Exposed beams and traditional cast iron radiators enhance the room's extraordinary character. Adjacent to the kitchen is a boot room with garden access and a scullery. Solid oak countertops sit atop hand-crafted units, housing an oversized Belfast sink. A Fisher and Paykel fridge freezer, along with a Caple wine cooler, are integrated into fine cabinetry by 'DeVOL.' At the far end of the scullery is a stylish cloakroom featuring William Morris wallpaper and Catchpole and Rye sanitaryware. Completing the ground floor is the cellar, accessed via steps from the entrance hall. Upstairs, the spacious hall leads to four bedrooms (one with en suite bathroom) and a family bathroom. The rooms are generously proportioned with various further original features on show. The stairs continue to the second floor, which includes two large bedrooms, a bathroom and attic space, with access back down the spiral staircase to the kitchen. All bedrooms offer spectacular views of the gardens and are variously furnished with exposed timber floors, window seats, built-in cupboards, Bath stone fireplaces, and exposed ceiling beams. The bathrooms are fitted with traditional fixtures, and the family bathroom includes a heated towel rail. Garden & Grounds The Home House is situated on approximately 1.1 acres of land. The gardens are primarily laid to lawn and adorned with a variety of mature trees and shrubs. Beyond the near boundary lies a charming paddock with its own entrance and road access. Adjacent to the formal front lawns is a well-stocked vegetable garden featuring several raised beds. A greenhouse is nestled against a seasoned stone wall that forms the near boundary. With creative landscaping, there is significant potential to reposition the driveways and parking areas to the rear of the house, transforming the area into additional lawn space. The surrounding countryside views are wonderfully far-reaching and the setting is incredibly peaceful. View payable Stamp Duty for this property
