18th Century Period Home
From the moment you enter, the character and grandeur of the home are immediately apparent. The ground floor is defined by its scale and versatility, beginning with a central hallway that leads to a truly magnificent lounge. A charming study sits just off the orangery room, providing an ideal space for working from home, while the tranquil orangery room to the rear offers the perfect retreat with views across the garden. The formal dining room, equally generous in size, provides an elegant space for entertaining, and connects seamlessly to the heart of the home — a spectacular 22-feet kitchen and dining area. This vast and sociable room has been designed with family life and entertaining in mind, with ample room for dining, relaxing, and cooking, all opening out to the rear garden. A practical back entrance hall leads to a separate utility room and ground floor WC, ensuring everyday convenience. A spacious ground floor bedroom is also located at the front of the house, ideal for guests, elderly relatives, or as an additional reception space.
Upstairs, the sense of space continues with five further bedrooms arranged around a central landing. The principal suite is a luxurious haven, and complete with a further option to create a stylish en-suite should you wish. Adjacent to this is another double bedroom, which could function perfectly as a dressing room, nursery, or private study. Three further well-appointed double bedrooms are situated across the landing, all offering generous proportions and natural light. A modern family shower room, finished to a high standard, serves these rooms comfortably.
Beyond the main accommodation reveals a superb annexe, currently configured as two spacious rooms. This extra space offers enormous flexibility and could serve as independent living quarters, a home office suite, creative studio, or even as a potential Airbnb or holiday let, subject to the necessary consents. Its extension from the main house allows for privacy and autonomy, enhancing its appeal for a range of uses.
Externally, while the precise plot dimensions are not detailed, the layout of the home suggests a substantial and mature setting with plenty of space for landscaped gardens, outdoor entertaining areas, and potential further development if desired. This is a home that invites imagination — a truly adaptable property that retains all the charm of its 18th-century origins while offering the scale and flexibility required for modern life.
A unique and elegant property of this calibre, with its blend of period character, expansive proportions, and flexible layout, rarely comes to market. Early viewing is strongly advised to appreciate the full extent of what this magnificent home has to offer.
