Set within roughly 0.6 acres of secluded, semi‑rural grounds, this reimagined three‑bedroom chalet blends contemporary living with strong character features. The house offers a generous orangery, a bespoke kitchen with integrated appliances and a useful ground‑floor bedroom, ideal for multigenerational family life or a home office. Large glazed doors and well‑placed windows create good natural light and strong indoor–outdoor flow to landscaped terraces and waterside frontage.
The site’s real draw is its extensive outbuildings and creative ancillary spaces: a principal detached building with garage/workshop, gym and a heated office/guest suite; a converted London double‑decker bus providing two‑level guest accommodation; plus a games room and hidden music studio. These spaces provide versatile options for home working, hobbies, hosting or supplemental rental use. Off‑street parking and electric gates lead to a sweeping drive for privacy and convenience.
Practical points to note: the property is freehold and sits in an affluent, low‑crime area with strong local schools, but broadband speeds are slow and council tax is described as expensive. The grounds and multiple outbuildings will need ongoing maintenance; buyers seeking a low‑upkeep home should budget accordingly. Overall, this is a rare, characterful family property for those who value privacy, space and creative potential rather than turnkey minimalism.
