A delightful family home providing balanced accommodation with far-reaching views.
Set amidst the unspoilt countryside of Jankes Green, Wakes Colne, this well-positioned family home enjoys far-reaching rural views and offers generously proportioned and versatile accommodation. Built in 1973 of traditional brick construction, Jankes House provides light-filled accommodation and attractive views across the surrounding countryside. The property has been enhanced with double glazing and decorated in neutral tones. It occupies landscaped grounds of about 0.55 acres.
The ground floor provides excellent living and entertaining space, including a spacious sitting room, separate dining room and study. The kitchen/breakfast room forms a practical and sociable heart to the house, complemented by a utility room and cloakroom. Of note is the substantial art studio, which offers considerable flexibility for use. Subject to the necessary consents, this space could potentially be converted to create an annexe, or alternatively provide a fourth bedroom on the ground floor, offering scope for multi-generational living, guest accommodation or those seeking additional space to work from home.
On the first floor, the principal bedroom has been reconfigured, together with bedroom four, to create a dressing room and en suite bathroom. The floor was originally arranged as four bedrooms and now provides three bedrooms, with the remaining accommodation served by a family shower room.
Outside
The property is set well back from a country lane, approached via a wide driveway and enjoying a pleasant sense of privacy. The house sits comfortably within a plot extending to about 0.55 acres, with parking and a detached double garage providing excellent space for vehicles and storage.
The gardens are a particular feature, with generous areas of lawn interspersed with established trees, mature shrubs and flowering plants, creating an attractive and established setting. A more formal section of garden incorporates a water feature and terrace seating area. A further terrace extends directly from the rear of the house, offering additional space for outdoor dining and entertaining, with views across the garden and beyond.
