About this property

  • Set within approximately one acre of mature south-facing grounds, Heatherleigh is a substantial and highly individual family home extending to around 3,500 sq ft, occupying a peaceful and secluded setting.

    Offering flexible accommodation, superb reception space and an abundance of charm, the property successfully balances period features with modern conveniences. Exposed timber beams, stable doors and generous proportions combine to create a warm and inviting atmosphere, while large windows frame picturesque views and fill the interiors with natural light.

    At the heart of the home is a superb kitchen/breakfast room, thoughtfully designed for both everyday living and entertaining. Fitted with extensive cabinetry, a central breakfast island and a useful walk-in larder providing excellent additional storage, the room centres around a traditional Alpha range cooker, a heavy-duty cast-iron appliance that combines home heating, domestic hot water and multi-oven cooking within a single unit. Featuring twin hotplates beneath chrome covers together with spacious roasting, baking and simmering ovens, it provides both practicality and an eye-catching focal point. Double doors open directly onto the terrace, creating a seamless connection between the house and surrounding grounds.

    A particularly striking feature is the impressive wine cellar, accessed via a cast-iron spiral staircase concealed beneath a hatch within the kitchen. With extensive wine racking and ideal storage conditions, it offers a superb space for collectors and enthusiasts alike.

    The adjoining triple-aspect dining room enjoys a sunny south-facing outlook and direct access to the terrace, making it an exceptional space for formal dining and relaxed gatherings throughout the year.

    Leading from the dining room and kitchen is a comfortable family room, complete with an attractive brick fireplace, providing an ideal setting for everyday relaxation.

    At the opposite end of the house, the elegant triple-aspect drawing room enjoys far-reaching views across the grounds. A log-burning stove creates a welcoming focal point, while a door opening onto the garden further enhances its connection to the outdoors.

    The principal bedroom suite benefits from a peaceful outlook and incorporates a dressing area and well-appointed en suite bathroom. Two further bedrooms are situated within this wing of the property, served by a family shower room and separate cloakroom.

    Positioned to the far side of the house are a useful utility room and a generous guest bedroom with en suite facilities. In addition, a substantial reception space offers excellent versatility and could be utilised as a home office or playroom.

    Stairs rise to the first floor, where there are two further bedrooms, a snug sitting area and a family bathroom, creating an ideal space for guests, older children or multi-generational living. One of the bedrooms benefits from a private balcony with elevated views across the south-facing gardens and grounds, offering a charming retreat from which to enjoy the tranquil setting.

    Outside, the established south-facing grounds provide a private sanctuary, comprising expansive lawns, mature planting and two attractive ponds, one enhanced by a water feature that creates a tranquil focal point. The gardens also feature a charming breeze house with electric heating, ideal for outdoor entertaining, together with a greenhouse, substantial garden store and a putting green. Of particular note, the current owners constructed the greenhouse using reclaimed materials from the original house, adding further character and provenance.

    Heatherleigh has been thoughtfully enhanced with sustainability and comfort in mind, benefitting from solar panels, battery storage, an EV charging point and underfloor heating to part of the house.

    A double garage and extensive driveway parking complete this exceptional home, which combines charm, versatility and modern conveniences in an idyllic setting.
