Five double bedrooms across three floors
A rare thatched detached house blending traditional character with generous, contemporary family living. Set on about an acre of well-kept gardens, the house offers five double bedrooms across three floors, four reception rooms including a spectacular 8m+ family room, and a bespoke Stoneham kitchen with bi-fold doors to the terrace. The property’s double garage, two electronic gated driveways and extensive parking suit multi-car households and visitors.
The principal suite benefits from vaulted ceilings, oak floors, a dressing room, luxury en‑suite and a private balcony. Ground-floor living is versatile: an oak-framed garden room with vaulted ceiling, separate dining room, and a large living room with exposed beams and a log-burner provide distinct spaces for family life and entertaining. Modern fixtures include post-2002 double glazing, integrated kitchen appliances and a mains-gas boiler with radiator heating.
Important practical points: the house was built c.1900–1929 with solid brick walls that are assumed uninsulated, so further insulation works may be needed to improve energy efficiency. The thatched roof, a defining character feature, brings additional maintenance and insurance considerations typical of thatch properties. There are only two full bathrooms for five double bedrooms, which could be a constraint for larger families or guests.
Situated in a prosperous village setting with good local schools and countryside views, this property will suit buyers seeking a distinctive country home with modern, high‑end interiors and generous outside space. Broadband and mobile signals are average and local crime is reported above average—factors to consider for day‑to‑day living and security planning.
