SELLERS INSIGHT What first drew us to the property, and what we have enjoyed so much over the last three years, is the wonderful sense of space, tranquillity and closeness to nature. With no near neighbours and an abundance of wildlife all around, it has been a true haven of peace and quiet. The shepherd’s hut and hot tub have added another lovely dimension to life here, giving us the chance to host friends and enjoy some very special get-togethers. We understand the previous owners also used the hut as a source of additional income, which may appeal to future owners. For anyone with green fingers, the polytunnel has been incredibly useful, complemented by a number of raised beds. It has also worked brilliantly as a log store, seasoning wood in as little as three months. One of the more unusual benefits for us has been the amount of garaging and parking. As car enthusiasts, we have loved being able to keep up to five cars under cover within the two large garages, with further space available on the driveways and hardstanding. We are only moving because we are ready to downsize. With around three acres here, it offers more land than we now need, but for the right buyer it provides a wonderful lifestyle opportunity in a peaceful and private setting.

Even the boiler cupboard has been designed with useful drying space in mind. Upstairs, you are spoilt for choice with two bedrooms worthy of being the principal suite. At one end of the house, a superb bedroom enjoys a picture window that perfectly captures the views across the gardens and surrounding countryside, and is complemented by an air conditioning unit, ideal for warmer weather.

Sellers Insight “I will be very sad to leave Lion Court Lodge. This has been my much-loved home for 34 happy years, and I have always treasured the peace, privacy and tranquillity that comes with living on Dancing Hill. The views are something I will miss enormously. Waking up to the wildlife, with deer, woodpeckers and the dawn chorus, has been a real privilege. Some of my happiest memories have been spent around the swimming pool. On warm summer weekends, it has always been a wonderful gathering place for children, family and friends. Swimming and entertaining after dark, with the pool lights glowing and the stars overhead, has felt quite magical. After 34 years, the time has come for me to downsize.

Nearby, a turnout yard includes additional field shelters, while a track continues past an orchard to a useful pole barn and further shelter. This area opens onto two enclosed paddocks, together with an additional enclosure featuring a wildlife pond. A double carport is located opposite the farm house and there is an additional garage/workshop in the courtyard. The large field is currently rented to a neighbouring owner who keeps alpacas and has some adjoining land, and we understand they would be happy to continue this arrangement if desired. Sellers Insight Within moments of walking in through the back door, we were hooked, turning to see the first hint of the great views, framed by the Tudor inspired arch…. What is so surprising is that you get no inkling at all as you drive to the house, or from the outside. It’s only when you get to see the other side you get to appreciate the magic of what the elevated position gives. It’s not just a view , it’s a whole landscape…ranging over the Blackdown Hills, the Wellington Monument in the distance, across the end of the valley and west out to glimpses of Exmoor. And such big skies! Both inside and out, we have created spaces where we can sit and enjoy glimpses of the views, landscaping the garden in particular to be able to choose spots to follow the sun, and watch stunning sunsets. And, of course, the view ever changes with the seasons. Plenty of places for calm and quiet working or dreaming, but also great entertaining space. Having family and friends over for barbeques or pizza nights on the deck overlooking the pool, or, on colder nights, all together in the big kitchen for tray-bakes, followed by gathering in cosy rooms around the fires…and on warm summer evenings the big skies turn to dark skies, no light pollution, so plenty of stargazing, competing to find the constellations… Services Shared septic tank for all of the properties Mains water and electricity Oil fired central heating Broadband is currently sourced via Starlink.

From learning to ride bikes out the front in the quiet cul-de-sac to building dens in our woodland, this house has been at the centre of so many happy family memories. We’ve hosted countless BBQs, garden parties and birthday celebrations with friends and family, and have truly loved every minute of living here. The large open-plan kitchen and dining area flowing into the garden is the heart of the home, while cosy evenings around the wood-burning fireplace, especially at Christmas, have made it feel incredibly special. The village has a wonderful family feel, with a real sense of community and fantastic neighbours of all ages. The renowned primary school is just a four-minute walk away and the bus stop for the Ofstead outstanding secondary school is only two minutes from the house, which has made family life so easy for us. We’ve loved the peaceful setting, hearing birdsong during the day while working from home and tawny owls at night, as well as regularly spotting deer in the garden. In spring, the garden comes alive with bluebells, foxgloves, rhododendrons, and azaleas bursting with colour. With beautiful walks nearby, lovely pubs and restaurants and the beach within easy reach, it’s been a wonderful place to live. We’re now excited for our next chapter, moving to a smallholding in the countryside with our ponies and animals.” Services Mains water, drainage, gas and electricity.

Orchard Hill is a substantial late‑1920s Arts and Crafts family home set high above the River Hamble in Old Bursledon, with around 4,500 square feet, seven bedrooms and 1.33 acres of landscaped gardens enjoying long views to the water and beyond. Orchard Hill is a substantial late-1920s Arts and Crafts home set high above the River Hamble in the conservation village of Old Bursledon, enjoying long views across its own 1.33 acres of established grounds to the water and beyond. Arranged over two floors and extending to around 4,500 square feet, it offers generous and flexible family accommodation with seven bedrooms, four bath/shower rooms and four reception spaces, together with extensive parking and a double garage. Approached via a long, tree-lined drive that curves up between banks of planting to a deep gravel sweep, the house sits well back from the lane and feels wonderfully private. The elevations are classic Arts and Crafts, with warm brickwork, steep tiled roofs, tall chimneys and a strong balcony line across the river front. The entrance is deliberately theatrical: a brick-tiled threshold leads to a heavy oak front door and, once inside, you step down into a wide reception hall, with immediate views of the garden and river. Throughout the house, the original detailing has been carefully preserved. William Morris wallpaper and matching curtains appear in a number of rooms, complemented by parquet flooring, panelled oak doors, deep skirting boards and period ironmongery. Fireplaces are a recurring theme; there are several substantial brick inglenooks, some with space to sit in the chimney breast itself, creating atmospheric focal points for the main reception spaces. Accommodation The broad reception hall immediately sets the tone, with parquet flooring underfoot, William Morris wallcoverings and an impressive brick fireplace. From here the principal living space unfolds towards the river. From here, folding stained glass doors, specially commissioned by the owners to echo the colours and forms of the Hamble, open into a beautifully proportioned drawing room spanning much of the width of the house, with windows on more than one side, an ornate brick inglenook and French doors opening directly onto the terrace so that the river forms a constant backdrop. The reception space also links into the large dining room. This arrangement allows the three rooms to work either as one large suite for entertaining or as separate, more intimate areas. From the dining room, through a further set of stained glass folding doors is an impressive garden room, more orangery than conservatory, with brick walls, a glass roof and full-height glazing on three sides overlooking the front gardens. It is an everyday living space filled with light, enhanced by the golden tones of the stained glass doors, and easily opened up in warmer weather. A further reception room, fitted with bookcases and another brick fireplace with a wood burning stove, provides an inviting snug or library. The kitchen/breakfast room runs along the opposite side of the house and is designed for family use, with extensive bespoke timber cabinetry, display cupboards and a long run of Corian work surface wrapping around a central space that comfortably accommodates a large table. At the heart of the kitchen has a four-oven gas Aga set into a tiled recess, which also contributes to the hot water system, with further integrated appliances including a Miele dishwasher and built-in fridge and freezer. A utility room, cloakroom and additional ground floor shower room complete the principal level. An original oak staircase rises from the hall to a generous galleried landing, lit by wide windows overlooking the gardens. The upper level is arranged to make the most of the outlook: several of the bedrooms open via French doors directly onto a long first-floor balcony that runs across much of the river elevation. From here, the view takes in the formal gardens below, the tops of the clipped yews, and beyond them the masts and water of the Hamble. In total there are seven bedrooms, six of which are good double rooms, each with space for freestanding furniture and, in some cases, fitted wardrobes and dressing furniture. The principal bedroom is notably generous, with a sitting area by the windows, extensive built-in storage and dual aspects including over the river. Three bath/shower rooms serve the accommodation on this floor, all offering both bath and separate shower. Gardens and setting The grounds are arranged in a series of distinct but flowing areas. To the front, mature trees and shrub borders line the approach, with lawns and stone retaining walls giving a sense of depth and seclusion. Paths and steps rise gently away from the drive towards orchard-style planting and more informal lawn areas, where trees and specimen shrubs are set within broad sweeps of grass. On the river side of the house, a broad stone terrace runs the full length of the elevation, providing multiple places to sit and dine while enjoying the outlook. From here, steps lead down to a large lawn flanked by clipped yews and established hedging, with the river visible between the trees. Further down the garden, a circular pond and stone-paved surround create a focal point, with open lawns leading to an orchard of productive fruit trees beyond giving a sense of space and scale that is hard to find in such a central village setting. Old Bursledon itself is a small, historic village on the western bank of the River Hamble, designated as a conservation area and long associated with boatbuilding and the river. The nearby Elephant Boatyard recalls the village’s shipbuilding past, while the Strawberry Trail offers well-known walking routes through countryside and along the shoreline. The Jolly Sailor, a popular waterside pub with its own slipway, is a local landmark and a focal point for river life. Bursledon railway station is around half a mile away, connecting to Southampton Airport Parkway for services to London Waterloo in approximately 1 hour 10 minutes, and the M27 and M3 provide straightforward road access to Southampton and London.

Titlarks Farm, named after a small songbird also known as a Meadow Pipit, is believed to date back to the c16th, with a sympathetic 1970s extension that has given this home its generous proportions without losing its unique character. An attractive timber framed brick-built home beneath a clay tiled roof, it offers 3,838 sq ft of well-proportioned, bright accommodation over two floors, with areas of exposed brick and beams that add warmth without dominating the spaces. Unusually for a house of this age, ceiling heights are generous throughout — the floors were lowered during the 1970s refurbishment programme, giving the interior a real sense of scale rarely found in a home of this period. A welcoming entrance hall, laid with flagstones, sets the tone from the moment you step foot inside. The elegant drawing room to the rear of the house is a particular highlight — dual aspect, filled with light, and opening via French doors onto the terrace, with views over the garden and countryside beyond. A cosy snug with an impressive Inglenook fireplace and wood burning stove leads through into the well proportioned formal dining room, which again opens onto the terrace and pool area — ideal for entertaining on a grand scale. Here there are fine examples of exposed herring bone brick work set within the exposed timber frame. The kitchen/breakfast room has been thoughtfully upgraded in recent years into an excellent cook's kitchen, featuring a central island, bespoke cabinetry, high-end integrated appliances, and a dual control electric Aga, with space for a breakfast table. A useful utility room and a conveniently placed shower room — perfect for access from the pool — complete the practical side of the ground floor, alongside a further sitting room with its own Inglenook fireplace and wood burner with shelving to the chimney recesses, and a study with built-in cupboards and bookcases overlooking the front garden. A wonderful open landing adds to the sense of space upstairs and showcases the original Queen Strut timber construction which has been preserved and exposed as one of the many features. The principal bedroom sits to the rear of the house, enjoying the same glorious views across the gardens and countryside, along with an en suite shower room and a walk-in wardrobe. Two further bedrooms each have their own en suite bathrooms, while two additional bedrooms share a family bathroom — most with the benefit of built-in storage. A sweeping gravel driveway via a 5 bar gate at the entrance from Vicarage Lane, and surrounded by lawns and mature trees on either side, leads to the front of the house, with ample parking and turning area and access to the double garage. To the rear, a paved, west-facing terrace is perfect for outdoor dining, entertaining and watching the sun set overlooking a generous 12m x 6m (1m deep rising gradually to 2.5m) swimming pool and the countryside beyond. A well-maintained and enclosed tennis court, added in 2015, provides further scope for entertainment combined with exercise while the mature gardens — mainly laid to lawn with carefully planted shrub and herbaceous borders — also include an enclosed kitchen garden and fruit trees. There is also a productive greenhouse to the rear of the garage. Titlarks Farm is set on the outskirts of Curdridge, situated close to the picturesque village of Botley, once home to 18th century radical journalist William Cobbett, author of Rural Rides and founder of what is now known as Hansard, the parliamentary record of debates. The small market towns of Bishop's Waltham, and Wickham are just a short drive away as is the thriving commercial port and cruise terminal in the city of Southampton and the historic cathedral city of Winchester.

A lovely friendly atmosphere, with community groups, the choir, the active local church, walking distance of two pubs and easy reach of Marlborough and its many amenities. How easy is it to commute from here? Excellent train links from Bedwyn, Pewsey and Swindon; fifteen minutes and half an hour to Swindon. My husband commuted for twenty years to central London What made you choose the property over others? We fell in love with the property, a grand old house with lovely big rooms, high ceilings, an attractive garden and wonderful views. It was also incredibly convenient for excellent secondary schools in the area. Internal Accommodation: The house unfolds with an ease that is rarely found, where each space connects naturally to the next. Light moves effortlessly throughout, enhancing the sense of openness while retaining a comforting intimacy. The principal rooms are quietly impressive rather than overtly grand — elegant spaces that invite conversation, relaxation and time spent together. Garden views are ever-present, drawing the outside in and reinforcing the connection to the surrounding landscape. At its heart, the kitchen is warm and characterful — a space that feels lived-in and loved, where mornings begin slowly and evenings gather pace around the table. Upstairs, the atmosphere remains calm and restorative. Bedrooms are thoughtfully arranged, offering both privacy and flexibility, while the upper level provides an additional space that lends itself to creativity, retreat or quiet reflection. Outside The gardens are a true extension of the house — mature, private and deeply peaceful. Sweeping lawns and established trees create a sense of seclusion, while the walled garden offers a more intimate setting, sheltered and serene. As the seasons change, so too does the experience of the grounds; from long summer afternoons by the pool to crisp mornings with far-reaching views across open farmland. Tucked discreetly within the grounds, the Coach House provides beautifully independent accommodation — ideal for guests, extended family or a more contemporary way of working from home. Leisure and lifestyle sit naturally here, with space to entertain, unwind and enjoy — whether that's a game of tennis, time spent poolside, or simply the quiet luxury of being surrounded by nature. Location Positioned within the Avebury World Heritage landscape, the setting is both remarkable and deeply grounding — a place where history, nature and open space combine in a way that feels increasingly rare. Marlborough, just a short drive away, offers a vibrant contrast — a historic market town with a strong sense of community, excellent schooling and an enviable mix of independent shops, restaurants and cultural life. For those drawn to the outdoors, the surrounding countryside is exceptional, with endless opportunities for walking, riding and exploring. At the same time, excellent transport links ensure London and the wider South West remain within easy reach, making this as practical as it is beautiful. Services: Main House - Mains water, electricity, and drainage. Oil central heating. Coach House - Mains water, electricity, and septic tank drainage.

Outside, the grounds are every bit as captivating as the house itself.

A beautiful weeping willow, carefully curated borders and the picturesque spire of St Blasius Church provide an ever-changing backdrop throughout the seasons, while subtle evening lighting transforms the gardens into an enchanting setting after sunset. Practicality is equally well considered, with two substantial double garages with remote controlled electric doors, a brick-built potting shed and garden store, both with power and water, ample parking and gas central heating throughout.

INTRODUCTION Belton House is a truly exceptional coastal home, offering the perfect blend of luxury, space, and serenity. With breathtaking views over the coastline, this remarkable property is designed for those seeking both elegance and tranquility. Flooded with natural light, the spacious interiors span three floors and include five generously sized bedrooms and five bathrooms, offering comfort and flexibility for family life or entertaining guests. The garden is a standout feature — an oasis of calm inspired by the Italian Riviera. Mature Mediterranean planting, including a variety of palm trees, thrives in Torquay’s unique microclimate, creating a lush, exotic atmosphere that feels a world away from everyday life. A beautiful swimming pool completes this private paradise, and with Meadfoot Beach just a short walk away, Belton House truly offers the best of coastal living. This is a rare opportunity to own a peaceful and luxurious retreat in one of the South West’s most desirable locations. SELLERS INSIGHT “It was the garden that first drew me to Belton House. Having grown up in France, I had always dreamed of owning an orangery, and I knew I wanted an established garden, sea views, and — if I was lucky — a swimming pool. Belton House ticked every box. When I saw the wisteria bloom for the first time that May, I knew I’d found something truly special. For the past 15 years, I’ve poured love and care into creating a Mediterranean-style oasis, using no pesticides so that birds, bees, and butterflies could thrive here. Torquay’s unique microclimate has allowed me to grow a huge range of tropical and exotic plants that would never survive elsewhere in the UK. We moved here from London looking for a slower pace of life, proximity to the beach, and excellent schools. Meadfoot Beach is just a ten-minute walk away, and the local grammar schools and 20 nearby beaches made this an ideal location for our family. Despite the peaceful setting, we’re only minutes from Wellswood and its cafés, shops, and restaurants — and the Osborne Hotel is just down the road with an indoor pool and tennis court, which has suited our lifestyle perfectly. Inside, the house feels bright and spacious, with thick walls and large rooms that open up to the sea view. We later converted the attic to create even more space for our growing family. The layout has worked so well over the years — when the children were downstairs with friends, we could barely hear a sound! This home has been our sanctuary. We've hosted countless dinner parties and summer pool gatherings — it’s a sociable, open space, yet it often feels like we’re in the middle of nowhere. Our neighbours have become dear friends, and we’ve created so many memories here. The garden is my pride and joy and will be dearly missed. Belton House is unlike anywhere we’ve ever lived — it’s more than a home; it’s a lifestyle, a retreat, and a little piece of paradise.” STEP INSIDE Hidden behind a substantial stone wall and sleek sliding gate, Belton House is a true coastal retreat. From the moment you arrive in the courtyard — where a large feature pond surrounded by mature planting fills the air with the soothing sound of trickling water — you’re immediately immersed in a sense of peace and Mediterranean charm. Step inside to a bright, open hallway, where natural light pours through vertical window panes framing views of the pond. White-washed floorboards and crisp, clean walls give the home a calm, continental feel. For convenience, there is a cloakroom and WC off the hallway. The generously sized living room enjoys stunning ocean views through two large windows. A sleek built-in media unit and electric fireplace add warmth and function, making this a perfect space to unwind. The living room flows seamlessly into the dining room, which has patio doors opening onto a balcony overlooking the side courtyard. The flow continues into the stylish, contemporary kitchen, where patio doors lead to the front terrace and pond, allowing indoor and outdoor spaces to blend harmoniously. At its heart is a large central island with an electric hob, integrated sink, and dishwasher. A wall of cabinetry houses the fridge, freezer, oven, and microwave, creating a highly functional and beautifully designed space. Also on the ground floor is a spacious bedroom suite featuring fitted wardrobes, two large windows framing coastal views, and a luxurious ensuite with both a bath and a walk-in shower. On the first floor, a landing leads to a guest WC and a superb bedroom suite complete with a large double bedroom, dressing room, and an ensuite wet room. Velux windows draw in natural light and capture sea views, while the room is generous enough to accommodate additional living furniture — ideal for guests or extended family. The lower ground floor offers flexible living with three further double bedrooms: one with an ensuite bathroom, another with a Jack-and-Jill shower room connecting to the principal suite, which opens via patio doors onto the terrace overlooking the swimming pool. This level also features a well-equipped laundry room. Additionally, you'll find a study or library with fitted bookshelves, and a second reception room with patio doors leading out to the side courtyard — ideal as a garden room, home office, or additional lounge.

INTRODUCTION Meadfoot House is an elegant and beautifully refurbished period home, equally ideal for a growing family or as a virtually maintenance free holiday home of distinction, positioned moments from the sea. It is a highly individual and charismatic residence that gives a wonderful sense of arrival the moment you step inside. High ceilings, ornate detailing, feature glazing and beautifully preserved character immediately set the tone, while the interiors have been carefully re-planned and finished with an exceptional eye for design.  (The contents are available by separate negotiation, offering a highly convenient turnkey purchase if required).  Extensively and thoughtfully renovated throughout, the property combines impressive architectural detail with the reassurance of significant modern upgrades, including rewiring, replumbing, new dual-zone central heating, state of the art fire alarm system, new flooring throughout, refurbished sash windows and new loft insulation. All work is fully certified and meets the latest building standards.  The adjoining property sits discreetly behind and is accessed from a different road, giving Meadfoot House the privacy and presence of an individual residence. Just a 2-3 minute stroll from Meadfoot Beach, within easy reach of Wellswood village and the restaurants around Torquay’s marina, this is a striking coastal residence that offers both lifestyle and convenience in one of Torquay’s most desirable settings.  SELLERS INSIGHT “There’s always something special about coming home to Meadfoot. From the top of Meadfoot Sea Road, with the fresh sea air and the beautiful bay slowly revealing itself, it feels calm, welcoming and almost a world apart, with its own gentle microclimate. Meadfoot House is set back from the road up a driveway, so it’s very private even though it’s a 2-3 minute walk to Meadfoot Beach. Like its setting, it’s a welcoming, generous house, full of big spaces, high ceilings and beautiful detailing. It’s gracious and full of light, with floor to ceiling sash windows on the ground floor. It’s comfortable too: warm in the winter and cool in the summer with the original 800mm thick walls. When we decided to refurbish the house, our aim was to restore the original elegance while creating a house that flows well, especially on the ground floor which lends itself to being the perfect party space. The room configuration works for both couples or large families, and we ensured there would be plenty of storage space too. Great care was taken to preserve the character while bringing the house into the 21st century. Above all, it has always been a happy and tranquil building, and now it feels exactly as it was always meant to be: an extraordinary home. The location is equally special. Meadfoot Beach is loved by paddleboarders and swimmers, with a café enjoying wonderful sea views. Beautiful walks are on the doorstep, while Ilsham Green and Wellswood village are a short drive away, offering a pub, grocery store, deli/café, patisserie, florist and more. In the other direction, The Elephant (a superb Michelin starred restaurant) and the best fish restaurant in the bay is around 10 minutes away. It is this combination of privacy, elegance, lifestyle and location that makes Meadfoot so special.” STEP INSIDE The entrance porch opens into a highly impressive hallway, where the sense of scale is immediately apparent. High ceilings, ornate detailing and an eye-catching feature wall create a memorable first impression, while the subtle Art Deco influence adds a layer of individuality and character. Clever design is evident from the outset, with a concealed door leading to a substantial cloakroom, as well as a further hidden door opening into a large coat and boot room. The staircase rises elegantly to the first floor, reinforcing the grandeur and period charm that continues throughout the home. The drawing room is a beautiful and atmospheric space, rich in character and architectural detail. Decorative ceiling roses, panelled walls, dado rails and a feature fireplace all speak to the age and quality of the property, while floor-to-ceiling glazing, sash windows and original wooden shutters allow natural light to pour into the room. It is a space that feels both refined and inviting, equally suited to quiet evenings and more formal entertaining. The dining room is another exceptional reception space, designed for gathering and entertaining. Further ceiling detailing is complemented by a contemporary pendant light, bringing a stylish modern contrast to the period setting. A floor-to-ceiling bay window with sash windows and wooden shutters overlooks the front garden, creating a wonderful sense of space, light and elegance. The kitchen has been designed with taste and restraint, carefully balancing modern convenience with a style that remains entirely in keeping with the home. There is a brand new large fridge freezer, integrated microwave, large range-style oven with extractor and integrated dishwasher, along with excellent storage through a combination of cupboards and drawers. A breakfast bar provides seating for two, making this a sociable and practical everyday space. French doors open directly from the kitchen to the courtyard, creating an effortless connection between the inside and outside. Double doors also lead through to the family room, allowing the principal reception spaces to flow beautifully together. The family room leads onto outside space at both ends. The library section opens onto the courtyard whilst French doors at the other end of the room open onto the patio and front garden. This is a lovely informal corner of the home, ideal for reading, working, games or simply enjoying a quieter space. Going from the entrance hallway to the back of the house, there is a light, airy study with a pleasant tree-lined outlook over the driveway. Adjacent to this is a large plant room housing the boiler and hot water cylinder, reflecting the extensive refurbishment of the property. The home has been rewired, replumbed and fitted with new dual-zone central heating, supporting a level of comfort and efficiency expected of modern living. A generous utility room provides worktops, cupboards and a window overlooking the courtyard. This is a highly useful space as it stands, while also offering potential for further adaptation depending on a buyer’s needs. Next to the utility room, and with access to the courtyard, is a room that is ideal for storage, practical household use or possible future conversion. There is a further storage room right at the end. The first floor is arranged with excellent flexibility and a sense of privacy between the principal bedroom spaces. The principal suite is particularly impressive. Accessed via a lobby, it includes a generous double bedroom with large sash windows overlooking the garden. Steps lead down to a substantial dressing room or nursery, complete with fitted wardrobes and mirrored doors. The arrangement gives this part of the house a lovely private-suite feel, while retaining flexibility for family use. The bathroom serving this suite is sensational. Beautifully decorated and finished to an exacting standard, it features a bay window overlooking the garden with low-level shutters, twin sinks set into a vanity unit, a freestanding bath, brass fittings, a separate shower and a separate WC for privacy. Fully panelled and elegantly styled, it is a bathroom that feels both luxurious and timeless. One of the strengths of this layout is its flexibility. The bathroom is accessed from the lobby rather than directly from the bedroom, meaning it can be used more communally if required. Alternatively, by closing the door to the lobby, the entire area becomes a private principal suite. There are four further generous double bedrooms, one with an en-suite shower room. Each room is beautifully presented and continues the home’s sense of scale and quality. Another outstanding bathroom serves this part of the house, with twin sinks, panelled walls, a freestanding bath with freestanding tap, WC and double shower. There is also a separate cloakroom. A rear staircase provides additional practicality, connecting this part of the first floor back down to the study, utility room and hallway, enhancing the sense of flow and functionality within the home. Throughout, the decoration is exceptional. Every room has been carefully considered, with an elegant palette, beautiful finishes and a cohesive sense of style. With new flooring throughout, refurbished sash windows and new loft insulation, the home has been upgraded with both appearance and performance in mind. The contents may be available by separate negotiation, creating the opportunity for a buyer to acquire a beautifully furnished home ready for immediate occupation. STEP OUTSIDE The outside space has been arranged to provide a balance of parking, garden, privacy and sunny seating areas. To the front, there is ample parking for several vehicles, with space for approximately six cars, together with an EV charger and a useful bike storage area. There is also a separate entrance, accessed from the driveway, with steps to a spacious lower ground floor room that could convert into a cinema room, gym, games room or used for storage. The front garden includes a patio area adjacent to the family room, creating a lovely setting from which to enjoy the outlook over the garden and the architecture of the house itself. Catching the sun up to midday and sometimes late afternoon, it is an ideal space for an outdoor table and chairs, to enjoy an alfresco breakfast, lunch or quiet drink at the end of the day. The remainder of the garden is mainly laid to lawn, with established planting, shrubs and attractive borders adding colour and structure. Steps lead down through the garden to a further landscaped area laid to stone, beautifully screened from the road by mature planting, which catches the afternoon sun. A pathway from the patio area at the front leads back around to the rear courtyard, linking the garden naturally with the kitchen, utility and rear areas of the house. The courtyard provides a private and sunny aspect, offering another attractive outside space for informal seating, morning coffee or relaxed entertaining. The combination of formal garden, raised terrace, courtyard, ample parking, EV charging and practical storage gives the home a highly usable and versatile exterior.
