A Hidden Gem | Circa 1920 | 4.7 Acres of Grounds | Planning Consent for 2/3 Bed Annex

Tucked away behind a mature hedgerow and accessed via a sweeping, gated driveway, this enchanting 1920s character residence is an exceptional hidden gem, a rare blend of period charm and generous proportions, all set within grounds of around 4.7 acres.

Lovingly maintained and cherished as a family home, this handsome property offers a wealth of original features, expansive accommodation and a collection of outbuildings brimming with potential, including a stable block and coach house with existing planning consent to create a 2/3-bedroom annex.

An impressive black-and-white tiled entrance hall sets the tone on arrival, with the sweeping staircase ascending beneath a feature stained glass window. The ground floor unfolds to offer four versatile reception rooms, currently used as a formal sitting room, home office, playroom and snug, each with period detailing including oak flooring, decorative cornicing, and a combination of log burners and gas-coal effect fires.

The heart of the home lies in the inviting, farmhouse-style kitchen. With its striking Aga, twin Belfast sinks, breakfast bar, and seamless connection to a living and dining area, complete with log burner and bi-fold doors opening to a generous terrace, it’s a space designed for gathering, hosting, and everyday comfort. A well-appointed utility room, with matching cabinetry, oak worktops, second oven and space for laundry appliances sits adjacent and opens onto a secluded rear patio.

The charm continues with an original cloakroom featuring a high-flush WC and cast iron pedestal basin, which also provides access to a spacious cellar with light and power.

Upstairs, the first floor hosts four beautifully presented double bedrooms, three with original cast iron fireplaces and all with elegant oak flooring. A traditional bathroom, in keeping with the property’s heritage, boasts a freestanding claw-foot bath, ornate shower enclosure and delightful period fittings.

On the second floor, a further double bedroom enjoys privacy and elevation, complete with its own en-suite wash room and access to generous walk-in loft storage.

Outside, the grounds are a true showpiece. Mature Walnut trees, formal lawns, and two paddocks offer a peaceful, parkland feel. Outbuildings include a coach house, open garaging and stable block, all with power and lighting, perfect for equestrian use, conversion (planning approved), or as a substantial workshop/studio. A further outbuilding, currently used as a home gym, adds to the versatility on offer.

Whether you envision a multigenerational lifestyle, equestrian pursuits, or simply a tranquil retreat, this remarkable property offers a rare opportunity to embrace period elegance.
