An Exceptional 17th Century Family Home with Stunning Grounds Exceeding 1.25 Acres
Set in a beautiful location on the edge of the village centre, this handsome 17th-century residence offers over 3,000 sq ft of characterful and versatile accommodation, nestled within one of the most impressive gardens in the area.
The plot extends to well over 1.25 acres and gently slopes down through immaculately kept lawns bordered by mature trees, clipped hedging, and colourful planting—culminating at the banks of the River Blackwater.
The house itself boasts six double bedrooms, three bathrooms, and three reception rooms, along with a welcoming reception hall, a kitchen/breakfast room, utility, and a remarkable first-floor balcony stretching approximately 28ft—perfect for enjoying far-reaching southerly views across the garden.
You are welcomed into a spacious reception hall featuring light oak beams and a half-turned staircase. An inner lobby leads to a ground floor shower room/WC, a utility room, and a delightful dining room with garden views.
At the heart of the home is the well-proportioned sitting room, with a striking brick-built inglenook fireplace at the eastern end. This leads into the charming kitchen/breakfast room, which includes a central island with a quartz work surface, an electric 3 oven Aga, and two built-in storage cupboards tucked behind the fireplace. Beyond, a family room offers direct access to a sunny patio via double doors.
The first floor hosts five double bedrooms and a stylish family bathroom. The principal bedroom enjoys its own en-suite shower room and walk in wardrobe. A sixth bedroom or home office is located on the second floor, along with access to the loft.
The first-floor landing opens onto a substantial balcony through a set of French doors. This elevated terrace, enclosed by iron railings, provides an exceptional space for relaxation with breathtaking southerly views.
Outside, a gated driveway leads to a generous parking area and a detached double garage. The beautifully landscaped garden includes a paved terrace with a heated swimming pool, a detached games room/gym with power and lighting, and a formal vegetable garden with beds framed by neat Box hedging and manicured beech borders.
This is a rare opportunity to acquire a truly special family home with a magnificent garden setting—undoubtedly one of the finest in the village.
