The original shell of this unique, characterful property dates back to the 1800's and has been the subject of skillful and extensive modernisation and extension to now provide a fantastic home with the most amazing interior finish creating a light and airy property with delightful bespoke features making this a truly one off. Having been maintained to a high standard this home portrays open plan, modern living but still enjoys the separate space required, having an extroadinary kitchen/dining and living space with doors and floor to ceiling windows opening to the south facing garden. Double doors access the large lounge with deep bay window and attractive fireplace. There is also a separate formal dining room or home office boasting a wonderful fireplace, large window to front aspect and access to a further hallway with second staircase along with separate front door, and so this area could be used as an annexe arrangement with separate access if required. This hallway also provides space between this property and the adjoining wing as is halls adjoining keeping space from the neighbour as all internal living rooms adjoin the stairs/landing/hallway area. The kitchen is a particular feature of this property with a large central island, bespoke cabinetry and complimenting kitchen units and worktops with intetgrated appliances to include drinks chiller and freestanding range cooker. The hallway enjoys an open plan flow through to the kitchen with floor to ceiling windows having bespoke shutters, whilst also off the hallway is a grand staircase leading to a large and inviting landing area with a magnificent galleried balustrading. The landing is large enough to allow for a work space or sitting area if required or could provide a great reading area. Off the kitchen is a separate utility room with access to a double garage with electric doors. To the first floor is a most imposing and grand master suite with enourmous bedroom having a spectacular vaulted ceiling, creating a real wow to this incredible room, there is a separate dressing room fitted with bespoke furniture and beautiful, spacious en-suite shower room. There is a further guest room with en-suite shower room as well as another double bedroom to this floor and family bathroom. To the top floor ( 2nd floor) are two additional double bedrooms which can be accessed from the landing separately or connect one to the other.
Externally the garden is landscaped and well maintained with large tiled patio area, level south facing lawn, sleepers with in bedded lighting and flower and shurb areas. Accessed via a large electrically operated gate the driveway is plentiful providing ample off street parking and access the large garage which has 2 separate doors and so part of this space could be converted if desired, subject to usual consents. There is a great sized store/shed to this area. Sat at the bottom of this private lane this one off and truly magnificent home is a must see.
