A distinguished late Victorian former mission house with exceptional period detail and mature gardens overlooking open fields.
Built in the 1890s, The Old Mission House is a beautifully preserved period home showcasing striking architectural character, including stone mullion windows, a superb original front door, and impressive internal proportions. The property sits within mature grounds, enjoying a tranquil position with open views across neighbouring fields.
Upon entering through the original Victorian front door, you are greeted by an inner porch that leads into a welcoming hallway. From here, access is provided to two principal reception rooms, both generous in scale and rich in period charm.
The sitting room is a large and inviting space, featuring a gas fire and dual windows that flood the room with natural light. This room flows through to the formal dining room, a particularly spacious area ideal for entertaining. The dining room retains an original external door, once used when the property functioned as a village shop, adding a unique historical element.
To the rear of the ground floor is the modern and well appointed kitchen, positioned to enjoy views across the garden. It offers a comprehensive range of wall, drawer and base units, integrated Neff appliances, an induction hob and double oven. The cabinetry features soft closing doors, and the hardwood windows further enhance the sense of quality and craftsmanship.
The first floor accommodation is particularly impressive, enhanced by rear facing windows that capture uninterrupted views over open countryside. The principal bedroom is a generous dual aspect room with exposed beams and excellent natural light. It benefits from an en suite fitted with a Duravit shower. The large landing currently serves as an ideal home office area, perfect for remote working.
Bedroom two is notably large and provides excellent versatility. Bedroom three includes a range of fitted wardrobes, making it a practical and comfortable space. A spacious family bathroom, fitted in 2017, serves the bedrooms. It features an elegant egg shaped bath, a large walk in shower with built in seat, underfloor heating and a heated towel rail, creating a luxurious spa like environment.
The Old Mission House sits within mature and beautifully established gardens, surrounded by an abundance of trees that offer privacy and seasonal interest. There is off road parking and a garage, with the main gardens extending to the rear. The grounds include well stocked borders, a generous terrace ideal for outdoor dining, and further garden areas laid out with fruit trees, vegetable patches and varied planting. The gardens open onto fields at the rear, giving a wonderful sense of space and rural tranquillity.
