Description

Built in 1970, The Sheppey is a substantial and beautifully presented detached village home, offering a wealth of space across three floors. The property has been thoughtfully extended over time and is uniquely designed with a split-level layout to embrace the natural contours of the site. This ingenious design maximizes the space while creating an elegant flow between levels.

With stunning rural views, the property enjoys a tranquil and picturesque setting, where the landscape unfolds before you. The interior is immaculately presented, combining both traditional charm and modern convenience, providing the perfect environment for family living and entertaining.

Upon entering, a welcoming hall provides access to two bedrooms and a cloakroom. Stairs rise to the first floor, where the principal living spaces are located. At the heart of the home is an excellent kitchen with a range of fitted cabinets, with an adjoining utility room. Doors lead from the kitchen to one of the garden terraces. The sitting room features double doors that open onto a large balcony, while the dining room, an expansive drawing room, and a conservatory offer versatile spaces for entertaining and relaxation. The first floor includes two bedrooms, one of which boasts a dressing room. On the second floor are two additional bedrooms. Five bedrooms have en suite bathrooms whilst the sixth bedroom has an en suite shower room.

The mature gardens and grounds, which extend to about 1.58 acres, are full of interest. The property is approached via a private driveway which meanders through the grounds to a turning circle to the front of the house. Mature hedging borders the gardens to one side and trees to the other. The terraces are ideal places for enjoying the fabulous views. The garden is divided into different areas with mature lawns, specimen trees and an orchard.
There is garaging for four vehicles.
