Set within the tranquil village of Forncett St Peter, this distinctive five-bedroom detached home blends original period features with generous contemporary living space. The vaulted, double-height kitchen/breakfast room with high-end integrated appliances and a central island is the heart of the house, opening to a landscaped garden and patio ideal for family entertaining. Two outbuildings with power and light provide adaptable space for a home gym, studio or home office.
Upstairs offers five well-proportioned bedrooms, two with en-suites, built-in storage and a striking mezzanine balcony overlooking the main living area. Practical modern comforts include an air source heat pump, underfloor heating in the kitchen, double glazing and a comprehensive security system — all helping reduce running costs and improve comfort. The property sits on an approx. 0.15 acre plot with gated off-road parking for multiple vehicles.
Notable historic features remain, including the original bread oven, exposed beams and the retained post office window, giving the house real character and a unique story. The village location offers countryside calm with good access to nearby towns and commuter routes, plus a mix of well-regarded primary and secondary schools close by.
Buyers should note the property is council tax band F (expensive) and lies in an affluent, low-risk flood area. The layout and period elements will suit families seeking a spacious, characterful home but anyone wanting a fully low-maintenance or brand-new property should be aware of the mixed period/modern fabric and inspect to understand specific maintenance needs.
