4 Bed Detached House For Sale

Originally three workers cottages, this beautiful thatched residence offers a wealth of charm throughout. An inviting entrance hall with galleried landing and steps to the drawing room. This reception space is full of warmth and character features including the most amazing original inglenook fire and lovely views of the gardens. Cleverly extended, an orangery leads from this room displaying the very best of the surroundings with a lantern roof and brick built construction. Leading through from the drawing room we arrive at the dining room, a lovely entertaining space adjacent to the kitchen/breakfast room which has had the useful addition of a utility area in more recent years.

A ground floor bedroom suite/study with its own shower room leads off the entrance hall, and there is also a separate cloakroom directly from the dining room. Stairs rise to the two first floor bedrooms offering glorious character and fitted wardrobes, with the family bathroom leading from the second bedroom.

In addition, a contemporary 1-bedroom studio or 'Dacha', as the vendors fondly call it, constructed in 2019, offers an ideal holiday let opportunity or substantial home workspace. With a fantastic patio area leading directly from the stunning bi-fold doors of the living space, there is no finer spot for such clever and versatile accommodation which connects to the beautiful private gardens.

Cleverly enlarged through the generations, it now presents a fine family home offering an enchanting mix of old and new tucked away in the heart of Whiteleaf with the most breath-taking position.
