A wonderfully extended period house situated in a village location enjoying an 800ft sq ANNEXE, perfect for multi-generational living, within a short distance to the RAILWAY STATION, offering links to London Paddington in 45 minutes.

Step into the welcoming entrance hall, where a solid slate floor and a cosy wood - burning stove set the tone for the home's rustic elegance.This inviting space provides access to the kitchen, a well-appointed hub featuring solid oak cabinetry, polished granite worktops and a Franke double sink, all enjoying views over the private gardens.

The ground floor offers three generously proportioned reception rooms, each laid with solid oak flooring, while two benefit from their own wood-burning stoves, creating warm and inviting spaces for both family life and entertaining. A secondary entrance leads to a fully tiled shower room. To the rear of the property is an expansive utility room and a dedicated gym, together with internal access to the garage , which is fitted with an electric roller shutter door.

The First Floor

An elegant solid oak staircase rises to the newly carpeted first floor. The spacious landing provides access to four well-proportioned bedrooms, all benefiting from fitted wardrobes. The impressive principal bedroom serves as a private retreat, complete with fitted wardrobes and an en-suite bathroom. The first floor also features a fully tiled family bathroom and a fifth bedroom, currently utilised as a home office, with all rooms enjoying elevated views across the gardens and surrounding countryside.

The Annexe

Complementing the main house is a substantial one-bedroom annexe extending to approximately 880 sq ft. Offering exceptional flexibility, it can be accessed either from the main house via an interconnecting door or through its own private entrance. The accommodation comprises a spacious open-plan kitchen and sitting room, a generous double bedroom and a shower room, making it ideally suited to multi-generational living, visiting guests or those seeking a degree of
independent living.

The Family House

The property is approached via a pair of elegant timber gates, opening onto a substantial gravel driveway that provides ample parking for numerous vehicles. The side and rear gardens offer a wonderfully private setting, centred around a generous lawn bordered by colourful flower beds, mature trees and established shrubs, creating a haven for local wildlife. The garden is enclosed by close-board fencing to the west and adjoins a private wooded area to the east, while enjoying far-reaching countryside views to the north.

A gravelled terrace extends along the rear of the house, providing an ideal space for outdoor dining and entertaining. Beyond, steps lead to a raised lawn incorporating a large garden shed and greenhouse, offering excellent facilities for keen gardeners, while a dedicated log store adds further practicality.
