Elegant Edwardian family home in exceptional village location
This distinguished five-bedroom semi-detached family home enjoys a prominent position within the village. Originally constructed in the early 1900s, the property showcases an elegant Edwardian bay-fronted design and has been thoughtfully extended and modernized to provide spacious and beautifully appointed accommodation. Arranged over three floors beneath a pitched tiled roof, the home is entered via a stained glass front door, leading into an entrance hallway that provides access to all principal ground-floor rooms.
The living room is bathed in natural light from the bay window with sash windows and is centred around a charming feature fireplace with inset wood burner. The snug is a cozy retreat that also boasts a feature fireplace. The heart of the home is the open-plan kitchen and dining area, fitted with a range of base units, an integrated sink with a mixer tap, a range style double oven with gas hobs, a large pantry, and an integrated dishwasher. The dining area comfortably accommodates large gatherings and provides direct access to the rear garden via patio doors. Adjacent to the kitchen, the boot/utility room has further storage, plumbing for laundry facilities and side access to the driveway. The ground floor is completed by a cloakroom. A staircase from the hallway leads down to the basement, offering a further utility area with an integrated sink and a practical storage area.
On the first floor, there are three generously sized double bedrooms and a study room. The principal bedroom, set on a split level, enjoys the luxury of an en suite bathroom, complete with a panel bath and walk-in shower. The stylish family bathroom serves the remaining bedrooms and features a freestanding roll-top bath and a walk-in shower. A further staircase leads to the second floor, where a spacious landing opens to two additional double bedrooms, both of which benefit from en suite shower rooms with walk-in showers, low-level WCs, and wash basins.
The property is complimented by well-maintained front and rear gardens. The front garden is enclosed by a low brick wall and features a private driveway with ample off-road parking. The driveway extends to a carport and a detached single garage, which boasts barn-style doors, power, lighting, and access to the rear garden. The enclosed rear garden is thoughtfully designed with a large paved patio at the front, perfect for outdoor dining and entertaining. A brick pathway meanders through the garden, leading past a covered BBQ area and a sizable workshop to a further brick-built store at the rear. The main garden area is predominantly laid to lawn, bordered by mature trees and lush planting, with a pergola seating area located halfway down the garden. A fantastic addition is the garden office, which offers a modern space with lighting and air conditioning.
