Description
Tucked away in the charming and peaceful hamlet of Lake, within walking distance of the station and town, this beautifully presented six-bedroom detached family home offers the perfect blend of period character and modern living.** Sympathetically extended and extensively remodelled and restored in recent years, the property now offers generous and versatile accommodation finished to a high standard throughout. Set within a mature and sizeable plot, the home enjoys a delightful south-facing frontage and a westerly rear garden, providing a wonderfully light and tranquil setting.
Approached via a chipping driveway, there is ample parking and a large turning circle, along with a detached double garage featuring an upper level with conversion potential (subject to the necessary consents). The home retains much of its period charm—complete with attractive fireplaces, coving, and sash-style windows—while benefitting from modern comforts such as PVCu double glazing and full central heating.
Accommodation Overview:
A covered storm porch opens into a welcoming entrance hall, with an elegant period staircase leading to the first floor. The charming sitting room to the front features a wood-burning stove set on a tiled hearth, with a large window overlooking the garden. The handsome dining room includes two arched recesses and a cleverly concealed drinks cabinet, also with a front-facing window. To the rear, a dedicated study includes built-in cupboards and a fitted desk, ideal for working from home.
A stylish cloakroom is fitted with a two-piece suite and tiled flooring. The spacious living room benefits from twin front windows allowing natural light to flood in, while the luxurious kitchen/breakfast room is appointed with cream Shaker-style units, granite work surfaces and upstands, twin inset sinks, and an integrated dishwasher. There’s space for a dual-fuel (LPG) Range cooker (available by separate negotiation), a breakfast bar, and a fitted dresser with glass-fronted cupboards. Triple-aspect windows and French doors lead to the outdoor entertaining space.
The adjoining utility room offers additional workspace, a single drainer sink, appliance space, plumbing for a washing machine, built-in cupboards, and a door to the rear.
First Floor:
Upstairs, a spacious landing with loft access leads to six well-proportioned double bedrooms, all tastefully decorated. The dual-aspect principal suite enjoys garden views and features mirrored wardrobes and a stylish en suite shower room with double cubicle, vanity basin, and WC. A second generous bedroom also has an en suite shower room and dual-aspect windows. Three further front-facing double bedrooms and a rear-aspect sixth bedroom are served by a well-appointed family bathroom comprising a large corner shower, modern panelled bath with mixer attachment, pedestal basin, WC, and built-in linen cupboard with electric heater. There is also a fully shelved walk-in storage cupboard with lighting.
Outside:
The grounds are beautifully landscaped and offer excellent privacy. The chipping driveway leads to a spacious turning area and the detached garage (20'7" x 16') with electric remote roller door, power, lighting, personal door, and outside tap. A wooden staircase leads to the first-floor storage area with light and window, offering further potential.
The wraparound gardens are mainly laid to lawn with mature trees, established flower beds, and raised vegetable planters. A brick-paved path leads around the house, and the rear garden includes a large decked patio area with modern glass balustrading, ideal for outdoor dining and making the most of the property’s south-westerly aspect. Additional outbuildings include a timber garden shed, a large potting shed adjoining the house, and a rear boiler room. A timber decked walkway completes access around the rear.
Tucked away in a lovely private location in the desirable hamlet of Lake, is this beautifully presented 6 double bedroom, handsome, detached period property which has been extended to create a truly stunning family home with mature gardens and a detached double garage with ample parking.
