An elegant five bedroom detached home with south-facing meadow views.
Stapleton House is a magnificent five-bedroom detached residence, occupying an enviable south-facing position with open views across neighbouring meadows. Believed to have been originally constructed circa 1928, the property underwent a comprehensive refurbishment in 2001 by Berkeley Homes. As a result of its heritage, the house has retained much of its original elegance, including excellent proportions, high ceilings and large sash windows that flood the interiors with natural light. The property is presented in immaculate condition and has been meticulously maintained by the current owners throughout their tenure.
A welcoming entrance hallway with attractive flagstone flooring leads through to the spacious open-plan kitchen/breakfast room, which forms the heart of the home. The kitchen is both sociable and well-appointed, featuring three large sash windows and a stylish monochrome colour palette. There is a dedicated breakfast seating area, alongside a Rangemaster electric cooker, wine rack, separate preparation area, and an extensive range of wall and base units. Leading directly from the kitchen is a charming garden room, with French doors opening onto the south-facing garden—an ideal space in which to relax and enjoy the outlook.
The ground floor offers two further well-proportioned reception rooms. The sitting room features a gas fireplace with a handcrafted wooden surround and additional doors opening onto the garden, making it particularly well suited to summer living. Adjacent is the formal dining room, enhanced by large sash windows and elegant drapery. Subject to the necessary consents, there is potential to combine these rooms to create a larger reception space. A separate utility, room, cellar and cloakroom complete the ground floor
accommodation.
The first floor provides five bedrooms and three bathrooms. The landing is generous in size and benefits from windows overlooking the nearby meadow. The principal bedroom is particularly impressive, offering extensive accommodation with integrated storage and a walk-in wardrobe, as well as an en suite bathroom finished with marble-effect floor tiles and comprising both a bath and separate shower. The second bedroom also benefits from an en suite shower room, while the remaining bedrooms are served by a well-appointed family bathroom.
Outside
Stapleton House occupies an individual position on the edge of the meadow, affording a high degree of privacy to the rear garden. The garden is beautifully screened by box hedging and mature trees, with well-maintained lawns providing an attractive and usable outdoor space. Its south-facing aspect ensures excellent natural light throughout the year. To the front of the property is a paved driveway offering ample parking and access to a double garage. The front garden is equally appealing, with box hedging, established trees and a pathway leading to a charming colonial-style porch. The double-fronted façade is a particularly striking feature on approach.

A truly wonderful home with many great features. My favourite is the views of the meadows.
