A Spacious Family Home Set In Over Two Acres With Potential Annexe

This-much loved home is full of light, and sited to make the most of its stunning location. It is well proportioned and designed for family life. Whilst not contemporary, the interiors have been well maintained and offer an excellent blank canvas for modernisation.

Entered via an enclosed porch, the light and airy entrance hall makes an inviting first impression, flowing seamlessly into the study area, with continuous original parquet flooring and a Portland stone open fireplace as an attractive focal point.
The kitchen/breakfast room works for both day-to-day living and entertaining, with a dining area that enjoys uninterrupted views through full-length glazing-perfect for enjoying both bright morning breakfasts and stunning sunsets. The kitchen is fitted with traditional solid wood cabinetry and features an oil-fired four-oven Aga, separate electric convection oven plus two-burner hob, and a walk-in larder area. The Kitchen leads to a useful separate utility room which provides a butler sink, laundry space and storage. There is also a downstairs cloakroom.

Two further reception rooms include a family room with French doors onto the terrace and an impressive drawing room with a more formal dining area, the latter flooded with light with glazing to three aspects and two sets of doors opening onto the terrace. There is an inglenook fireplace with a Jotul log-burner which add warmth and character. A wide winding staircase set within a turret rises to the attractive galleried first-floor landing. There is a light and airy principal bedroom suite with an en suite bath/shower room and a small balcony that takes full advantage of the far-reaching views across the Mimram valley to Ayot St Lawrence and beyond.

Three further double bedrooms (one with en-suite shower room and balcony) also benefit from the superb rural outlook, sharing a family bathroom and separate WC.
