Built in the 1930s, this striking reed-thatched period home combines timeless character with well-balanced accommodation arranged over three floors. The roof was comprehensively re-ridged in 2023, reflecting careful ongoing maintenance of the property.
A covered entrance porch leads into a welcoming reception hall, from which all principal ground-floor rooms are accessed. The impressive L-shaped sitting room lies to the left and enjoys a dual aspect with a desirable south-westerly outlook. This space is bathed in natural light, enhanced by two elegant bay windows flanking fitted bookcases, and a door opening directly onto the terrace and gardens, where far-reaching views over rolling countryside can be enjoyed. Featuring engineered wood flooring, a working fireplace, and distinct seating areas, it is equally suited to entertaining in summer or relaxing in winter. A discreet study area is set neatly into one corner.
The kitchen/breakfast room is both stylish and practical, also taking full advantage of the surrounding views via French doors leading to the terrace. It is well-equipped with integrated appliances, including a double oven and dishwasher, and provides ample space for both dining and informal seating-ideal for modern family life and entertaining alike. Adjacent to the kitchen is a generously sized playroom/family room, which in turn leads to a utility/boot room with external access. The garage is currently arranged as a gym, with an adjoining workshop offering further versatility. A second study or music room, along with a cloakroom and additional porch, complete the ground floor.
The upper floors provide well-balanced bedroom accommodation. On the first floor, the principal bedroom enjoys a dual aspect, fitted wardrobes, and a spacious en suite bathroom. Two further bedrooms are also located on this floor, served by a family bathroom. The second floor comprises two additional bedrooms, along with useful loft storage space.
Gardens
The property is approached from the highway via a generous gravel driveway, providing ample parking for multiple vehicles. The well-established gardens lie predominantly to the rear of the house and are beautifully screened by mature hedging, offering a high degree of privacy. Immediately adjoining the house is a substantial paved terrace, bordered by established shrub beds and yew hedging-an ideal space for outdoor dining and entertaining.
Steps descend from the terrace to expansive lawns, enclosed by mature trees and hedging, and perfectly positioned to take full advantage of the far-reaching countryside views beyond. Within the curtilage, there is also a stable, adding further interest and versatility to the grounds.
