There are homes that simply offer accommodation, and then there are homes that tell a story.

Occupying a magnificent mature plot, this elegant double bay-fronted residence has been treasured by the same family for generations and offers a rare combination of timeless period charm, beautifully proportioned living spaces and outstanding potential to create one of the area's finest family homes. Rich in original features and surrounded by enchanting gardens, fed by a natural spring, the well gave the house its name Springwell. Springwell House is a home that immediately captures the imagination, combining a rich sense of history with timeless charm.

With its generous proportions, wealth of original character features and substantial plot, Springwell House provides a rare opportunity to sympathetically enhance and personalise a home of genuine distinction. Whether sensitively restoring its period elegance or introducing contemporary finishes, the possibilities are endless, allowing the next owners to create a residence that perfectly reflects their own style and lifestyle.

Stepping through the original front door, complete with its original key, you are welcomed into a magnificent entrance hall where beautifully preserved parquet flooring, soaring ceilings and exquisite period detailing instantly create a feeling of warmth, grandeur and elegance.

The principal reception rooms are both beautifully proportioned and filled with natural light from striking bay windows. The elegant dining room provides a wonderful setting for entertaining, centred around an original open fireplace that brings both warmth and character to family celebrations and intimate dinner parties alike.

Across the hallway, the impressive sitting room is equally inviting, featuring a beautiful bay window, a charming log-burning stove and elegant proportions that make it the perfect place to relax throughout every season.

Further seating room/reception room, the room flows effortlessly into the conservatory, where walls of glass invite the garden indoors, creating a wonderful living space bathed in natural light and offering uninterrupted views across the magnificent grounds.

The kitchen has been thoughtfully designed with an abundance of worktops and extensive cabinetry, providing exceptional storage and generous preparation space for everyday family life and entertaining. There is ample room for all appliances, while the adjoining utility room offers remarkable versatility, equally suited as a home office, studio, hobby room or additional reception room depending on your lifestyle.

A substantial side entrance provides the perfect everyday family boot room with ample space for coats, muddy boots, dogs, school bags and outdoor equipment, complemented by a convenient ground floor cloakroom.

Five beautifully proportioned bedrooms provide flexible accommodation for growing families, visiting guests or those working from home, while the contemporary family bathroom has been tastefully appointed with modern fittings.

Outside lies what can only be described as Springwell House's crowning glory.

The gardens are nothing short of magical. Mature specimen trees, fragrant roses, established apple trees, flourishing fruit bushes and sweeping lawns combine to create an idyllic setting that feels like stepping into a secret English country garden. Beautifully private and wonderfully established, every corner offers a different place to unwind, entertain or simply enjoy the changing seasons.

Whether hosting long summer lunches on the patio, watching children explore the extensive lawns, cultivating the gardens or simply enjoying the peaceful surroundings, this extraordinary outdoor space offers a lifestyle that is increasingly difficult to find.

The generous plot continues to impress with rear driveway parking, useful storage area and excellent side access, while also presenting exciting opportunities to further extend and reimagine the home, subject to the necessary planning consents.
