Set within the historic Shendish Manor Estate, this three-double-bedroom detached home blends character features with modern energy systems. The vaulted main reception room with two wood-burning stoves and a very large conservatory provides generous family living and excellent natural light. A modern fitted kitchen-diner, utility and versatile study create practical daily living space, while oak flooring with underfloor heating adds contemporary comfort.
Outside, the large private garden, mature planting and sizeable patio suit outdoor entertaining; a substantial garden room and separate annexe (with en suite and sauna) offer guest accommodation or a home office. A detached double garage with loft room and driveway parking for two cars add useful storage and vehicle space. The property sits on a large plot in a rural, affluent hamlet, within walking distance of the local station and good road links to London.
Energy-efficiency is boosted by a ground-source heat pump and solar panels, reducing running costs compared with typical period homes. That said, the house is of late-19th-century construction with solid brick walls and assumed lack of cavity insulation, so buyers should expect potential thermal upgrade work. There is a pedestrian right of way across the rear garden and council tax is in the higher band, both important practical considerations.
