About this property

  • In an exclusive close comprising only five distinctive properties, Rowan House offers both charm and generous space across two thoughtfully arranged floors. Constructed in 1996, the home is a harmony of modern convenience and timeless appeal.

    Step into the inviting entrance hall to find an expansive triple-aspect drawing room bathed in natural light, with an open fireplace as its focal point. Across the hallway lies a formal dining room, perfect for entertaining, a versatile study, and a cosy family room. The well-appointed fitted kitchen, with its ample storage and work surfaces, flows seamlessly into a bright breakfast area - creating a sociable hub for daily family life. Additional conveniences include a practical utility room and a downstairs cloakroom, ensuring every need is met.

    A graceful central staircase ascends to the first-floor landing, and leads to five well-proportioned double bedrooms. The impressive principal suite features fitted wardrobes with a dressing area and a luxurious en suite bathroom with both a bath and a separate shower. The second bedroom also benefits from its own en suite shower room, while the remaining three bedrooms are generously sized and share a contemporary family bathroom.

    Outside
    In a plot of almost half an acre, Rowan House boasts mature outdoor gardens designed for both enjoyment and practicality. At the front, an expansive lawn is framed by ornamental shrubs and borders and a charming central pathway leads you to the entrance. A private driveway provides ample parking and access to a detached double garage. The rear garden is partly laid to lawn and against a backdrop of mature trees and shrubs provides privacy and a serene ambiance. Adjacent to the house, a spacious dining patio offers the perfect setting for al fresco dining and entertaining

I adore the peaceful situation of this house, tucked away from view and yet in the heart of this wonderful village.
