Find Out A Little More ..... - The front elevation is dominated by an elegant Victorian gable with decorative stonework and a carved crest, evocative of the property’s connection to the Stansfield estate. The current owners have comprehensively renovated and updated the property, installing traditional fireplaces and introducing stone mullion windows to the front elevation of the 1920s extension, creating a cohesive aesthetic with the original building.

The well-designed accommodation is arranged off a central hallway and first-floor landing and includes good storage and ancillary space with an understairs cupboard, cloaks area, large walk-in cupboards and loft storage.

Period and character features complement the elegant room proportions and include panelled doors and architraves, stained glass, handsome fireplaces, ornate mouldings faithfully restored or replicated where necessary, deep skirting boards, and a turning staircase with a magnificent carved newel post and polished serpentine handrail rising to the first floor.

The kitchen/breakfast room is an outstanding family space with a large square bay and a series of tall windows drawing light from three aspects. Exceptionally bright and airy, it offers ample room for both dining and informal seating. The kitchen comprises an island unit with wine storage, granite worktops, range cooker with induction hob and a pantry cupboard. It is supported by a fitted utility room with sink.

The superb double-length dining room has a real-flame gas fire housed in marble fire surround and west facing windows giving views over a drystone wall, across green pastures to the hills. A separate study enjoys an outlook across the rear courtyard and garaging.

Forming part of the 1920s extension, the sitting room is beautifully proportioned and triple aspect, with a wide bay window enjoying views down the gardens. A wood-burning stove set within a marble fireplace provides a central focal point.

The reception hall is approached via the front door, showcasing the Stansfield coat of arms with Latin motto. A handsome turning staircase rises past a west-facing window to a generous central landing with walk-in linen cupboard and store.

The principal bedroom suite is privately positioned within the eastern wing of the house and enjoys light from three sides. The spacious bedroom, with south-facing bay window, is served by an adjoining bathroom with double walk-in shower, bidet and vanity unit with granite countertop and inset ceramic sink. There is also a separate wc.

Of the two further double bedrooms which are generously proportioned and double aspect, one has en suite facilities. Bedroom 2 is an exceptional room echoing the kitchen/breakfast room below, distinguished by a square bay and tall windows providing far-reaching views. It is served by the luxurious house bathroom which includes a large vanity unit with granite countertop and wide ceramic sink, a freestanding bath with adjacent freestanding shower column, and enjoys magnificent west-facing views.

Outside - Wrought-iron electric gates set within a drystone wall open onto a long, illuminated tarmac driveway that sweeps through the grounds to the parking area beside the house and garaging. The detached garage block - formerly the coach house - comprises three up-and-over doors and a large workshop area, and is fitted with power, water, lighting and an EV charging point. Adjacent is a secure detached outbuilding - formerly a stable - accessed via a garage door and ideal for garden machinery, with an adjoining storeroom with separate access. In front, a mature clipped leylandii hedge creates a sheltered and enclosed seating area.

The expansive south-facing terrace is beautifully landscaped, wrapping around the front of the house and bordered by raised stone beds richly planted with established perennials. A magnificent copper beech sits alongside. The terrace provides a private setting for outdoor dining and relaxation, enjoying south-facing sun and open views across the gardens. A lower terrace, also lined with planted beds, leads to a secure garden gate within the high stone wall, offering separate roadside access.

At the rear, an enclosed and very private courtyard, sheltered by a 10 ft boundary wall, provides a further seating area enjoying afternoon and evening sun.

The immaculate sweeping lawns are interspersed with topiarised shrubs and mature broadleaf trees around the perimeter, providing shelter and framing the views. Solar panels are discreetly positioned towards the northern boundary, facing south. The grounds are enclosed by drystone walling.
