This is a rare opportunity to acquire a truly outstanding period family home which has been extensively renovated and upgraded by the current owners to an exceptional standard with high quality fittings and meticulous attention to detail. From the moment of arrival, the property's striking façade and outstanding kerb appeal set the tone for what lies within. Crossing the threshold reveals an impeccably presented home where beautiful period character blends effortlessly with luxurious contemporary finishes. The beautifully proportioned accommodation includes two elegant reception rooms with original fireplaces incorporating wood-burning stoves, a breathtaking open-plan kitchen, dining and family room centred around a bespoke fitted kitchen with premium integrated appliances, utility room, cloakroom, five generous double bedrooms and three beautifully appointed bathrooms. High quality finishes, including porcelain tiled flooring and carefully considered interior design, create a home of exceptional style and comfort throughout. Outside, a sweeping gravel driveway provides extensive off-road parking, while the magnificent, mature gardens are beautifully stocked to provide year-round colour and interest, complemented by a selection of versatile outbuildings. A particular feature of the property is the detached garage, situated to the rear and benefiting from its own independent access via Trapfield Lane.
