If This Was Your Home...
You'll have a superb array of stand alone spaces all eminently arrangeable according to your needs providing maximum flexibility for the family. If multi-generational living is what you require, this could be just the one for you...
Stroll up that sweeping, in out gravel driveway and step inside for a naturally bright, dual aspect, double height entrance hall. You've a superb choice of hosting spaces laid out before you.
First is the brilliantly bright, 300 square foot contemporary kitchen. Dual aspect, with a suite of smoke grey solid oak cabinets, granite worktops and a timber topped breakfast bar. It's a fine space. The kitchen has multiple windows, a feature gas range cooker with extractor above and a full suite of integrated appliances.
The sleek, modern decor continues into the dining room and lounge, with blonde hardwood underfoot, exposed brick accents and timber beams. Totalling around 400 square feet it's a splendid hosting spot and a wonderful complement to the historical style of the original house.
A ground floor bedroom with en suite shower room completes this side of things, ideal for guests.
Moving into the original house, via the dining room, we come to the rear hallway with vaulted ceiling, utility room and family bathroom.
Towards the front and there's another superb spot for welcoming guests. The original 190 square foot snug. Dual aspect with leaded windows and a gorgeously lit exposed brick hearth, with reclaimed lintel beam and sizeable wood burner, this is a cosy, characterful spot, full of charm.
A similarly styled study sits across the hall, with a more modest exposed brick hearth, more timber beams and views over the large gravel driveway at the front.
Upstairs now, to explore the generous array of sleeping arrangements, representing a mix of original, historical architecture and fine period style.
Your principal suite is especially impressive and a fine example of your new home's lovingly blended style. 220 square feet, with those signature vaulted ceilings and timber beams, blonde hardwood runs underfoot, there's a wealth of fitted storage and a frankly palatial en suite to one end.
In here you have twin vessel sinks, luxurious flagstone tiling, a freestanding, elevated ceramic tub and a walk in rainfall shower cubicle, all bathed in natural light below that high ceiling.
Next door, bedroom two connects your twin landings, leading onto two more double bedrooms in the old house proper. All bedrooms are bursting with charm, complete with exposed brick accents and original timber beams to walls and ceilings. All of these bedrooms are further spacious double rooms.
A similarly styled shower room sits between them, with walk in, metro tiled shower cubicle.
Outside now and your beautiful mature rear garden is directly accessible from the downstairs sitting room. It occupies the full width of the property, a quarter moon patio connecting the rear of the property to the side of the extension, all giving way to a large lawn area. A garden that offers it all, space for the growing children, areas to enjoy a BBQ and a glass of something cold in the sun.
Wonderfully secluded, it all backs on to nothing but open country and blue skies, flanked down one side by yet another addition, the 600 square foot annexe.
This is an entirely standalone affair, with tremendous vaulted and timbered ceilings. A brilliantly bright, dual aspect, 250 square foot lounge is the heart of things here, leading to a kitchen with brilliant white units and vintage timber trim.
Head through here for another bathroom, with a shower over the teardrop tub, plus two more double bedrooms, one with en suite shower room. Ideal stand-alone accommodation for extended families, multi generational living, office space or even a rental potential.
