This architect-designed house blends restored period character with a striking contemporary extension, creating versatile family living across three reception rooms and five bedrooms. The double-height entrance hall with mezzanine gives an immediate sense of space and light; large windows and tri-fold doors frame superb countryside views and provide seamless indoor-outdoor flow to a generous patio and lawn — ideal for entertaining.
The property has been comprehensively upgraded in recent years: rewired, re-plumbed, fitted with a 2022 AGA, and awarded an Energy Rating C. High-quality finishes include Peak Oak internal doors and skirtings, handmade Shaker kitchen units with granite worktops, oak flooring in the family room, and fitted bedroom furniture. An electric vehicle charging point and planning permission for a detached garage add practical value.
There are a few material points to note. While largely renovated, some finishing touches remain, and the original stone walls likely lack modern cavity insulation. The house dates from the early 20th century and sits in Council Tax Band E, with above-average charges. The sale includes an additional plot of land (size unspecified) which, together with existing planning consent, offers further development potential but will require independent verification.
Overall this home will suit a family seeking character combined with contemporary living and countryside views, or a buyer wanting flexible accommodation with scope to add value. An internal viewing is recommended to appreciate the scale, finish and panoramic outlook.
