House For Sale £899,950
Immaculate and beautiful five-bedroom ‘chocolate box’ home sympathetically combining character features and cottage charm with modern comforts and contemporary finish, set in stunning level gardens with Mediterranean-style paved, shingle, and decked terraces.
Hidden from view, Walnut Farm is a delightful surprise as the gate swings open to reveal the unexpected, beautiful, white cottage contrasted against the green, luscious gardens. This versatile property is currently one five-bedroom home with office space, but it could reconfigure to provide multi-generational living or income potential. The character of the oak beams, exposed stonework, and deep window recesses are complemented throughout with a contemporary colour palette; beautiful and practical flooring; and thoughtfully designed and crafted fixtures and fittings. The sitting room is a light, tranquil haven with an inglenook at one end and a feature fireplace with log burning stove at the other. Pale wooden flooring stretches the length of the room with a stunning, bespoke, oak, spiral staircase leading to the first floor. The real hub of the home is the open plan kitchen and family living space. The kitchen is fitted with a range of base and wall units with warm wooden work surfaces, a range-style electric Stoves oven and hob, integrated appliances, and a breakfast bar. There is ample space for comfortable seating and a breakfast table, and French doors open out to a terrace for alfresco entertaining. A beautiful, extensive, guest suite also opens out to the terrace and benefits from a stylish ensuite bathroom with freestanding bath. Other ground floor rooms include another double bedroom with ensuite shower room, an office, and a playroom with French doors to a private outside play area with space for a trampoline and pet hutches. There are three double bedrooms upstairs with a choice of two staircases to access them. The primary bedroom suite is a large, light room with vaulted ceiling and beams, and benefits from a modern ensuite shower room. The other two bedrooms also have vaulted ceilings with beams, and they share a bathroom.
Outside
Tall, mature hedging and trees border the level lawn, which stretches out from the front of the cottage, and creates a wonderfully private garden. Walnut Farm has right of way down a private driveway to a parking area at the far end of the garden. Gates from either end of the garden open to paved pathways leading across the lawn to the house and the outside seating areas. Flowerbeds, mature borders, and a pond add interest and colour. To the side of the cottage is a fabulous, decked area with a pergola, where the current owners have a hot tub. A swathe of beautiful wide resin pathway stretches along the rear of the house from the pergola to the children’s play area and a useful outbuilding for extra storage.
