Description
WOW! TAKE A LOOK at this amazing 6 BEDROOM period property, oozing with Character, forming a major part of the former Parsonage House. Having undergone a very thorough restoration in the last 18 months, this beautiful home is presented to an exceptional standard, sitting within grounds of 0.34 Acre.

The current owners have completely transformed this wonderful home in the past 18 months, with no expense spared on attention to detail. This very spacious home offers in excess of 3100sq feet of versatile accommodation and is ready to move straight into and enjoy the fantastic village life on offer.



The property itself dates back to the 18th Century, and is steeped in history, and is situated in a quiet and secluded location within the very desirable and premium village of Creaton.

The grounds extend to over 1/3 acre, and provide the perfect setting for this very grand and unique family home. On the ground floor you will find a very large Kitchen/Dining room with adjoining Utility room. The AGA with feature extractor provides a focal point, whilst the French Doors and Windows provide wonderful views of the extensive gardens. Leading from the kitchen is a Garden room, which would make an ideal office with French doors again opening to the rear garden. There is an open plan Snug with Inglenook fireplace leading from the garden room. There is a large reception hall with useful storage cupboard and adjoining W/C. There are TWO staircases leading to the first floor, and a very large second Hallway with feature staircase and lighting. The drawing room provides a welcome and tranquil retreat, and is full of character with exposed beams and wood paneling as well a range of hand made bespoke shelving and storage. There is also a separate family room, providing further versatile space. From the smaller inner hallway you will find an understairs door leading down to the CELLAR.

On the first floor there are five double bedrooms, a well appointed and stylish family bathroom, and a second stylish shower room. The principle suite has an adjoining ensuite shower room, and a range of bespoke handmade fitted wardrobes and dressing area, with the main feature being the large bay window with extended views across the open countryside. The landing is a particular feature too, with feature shelving and little nooks hidden away, all accented with hidden LED lighting. A door from the landing opens to reveal a further staircase leading to BEDROOM 6 in the attic space, with two velux windows providing plenty of light.

Outside the property stands behind a stone wall, with pillars either side of the entrance leading to the gravelled driveway where you will find ample parking for several vehicles, and TWO DOUBLE garages, one of which has newly fitted electric roller style door. Gated access leads to the rear of the property where you will find a large patio area with feature balustrading, and an extensive lawned area providing very much a blank canvas for anyone keen on landscaping. The lawn provides a wonderful space for young families to enjoy, and the property very much lends itself to entertaining family and friends.

The renovation works carried out have included the upgrading of the central heating system, with new boiler and stylish cast iron black radiators, with quality fittings. The lighting has been upgraded with a bespoke smart lighting and mood lighting in most rooms with wall mounted controllers in each room. LED strip lighting has been used throughout many rooms with changeable colours and intensity. Although retaining many of the original wooden windows, they have been restored and fitted with sealed unit double glazing - ensuring the full character of the building is retained.

PLANNING APPROVAL has also been granted to further extend the Utility Room if desired.
