House For Sale £800,000
A striking and meticulously renovated family home with stylish contemporary interior set amid gardens of circa 0.4 acres in a central village location and in walking distance of railway station
Austen House is believed to have been constructed around the turn of the 20th century and displays typical Edwardian elevations with a traditional ‘four square’ well proportioned layout internally.
This prominent village house was a much loved family home for a number of years and is coming to the market following a comprehensive schedule of renovation and modernisation. It is neutrally decorated throughout and offers well-proportioned and bright family accommodation.
The front entrance opens into a central hallway from which all of the downstairs accommodation can be accessed. To the right is a dual aspect open plan well designed kitchen/dining room which benefits from views over the gardens. There is also a generous sized utility/boot room with matching cabinets and door to rear garden and drive. The kitchen and utility room both benefit from underfloor heating.
The double aspect sitting room has French doors opening onto a side terrace and the garden, creating lovely outside-in entertaining space. To the first floor is a master bedroom with luxurious en suite shower room, three further bedrooms and a well-appointed family bathroom.
Outside, the gardens are mainly laid to lawn and wrap around three sides of the property. Mature hedging encloses the left side and rear garden, with closed board fencing to the right. There are also a range of mature trees dotted throughout the rear garden including a majestic walnut tree as well as a small stream which encourages a range of wildlife visitors to the garden.
The property is approached across a gravel driveway through an electric five bar gate culminating at a parking area providing parking for several vehicles. This is set adjacent to the oak framed open fronted car barn.
