Handsome Country Home With Land & Multiple Annexes & Outbuildings

A truly exceptional detached residence, Oakwood Manor is a beautifully crafted home, constructed in 2010 to an exacting specification, combining thoughtful craftsmanship with imaginative architectural design. Set within approximately three acres of private grounds, the property extends to over 3,000 sq. ft. of versatile accommodation and offers an outstanding range of income-generating opportunities through its multiple ancillary living spaces.

The current owners have an exceptional eye for detail and have presented the home with elegant décor and sophisticated interior styling, creating a residence that is both stylish and welcoming throughout.

Approached via electric gates, Oakwood Manor immediately impresses with its charming weatherboarded façade, balanced proportions and attractive kerb appeal. The welcoming entrance hall sets the tone for the accommodation beyond, featuring oak flooring, a cloakroom and staircase rising to the first floor. Double oak doors provide flexibility between the principal living spaces, allowing them to flow seamlessly for entertaining and gatherings, while also offering the option of creating more intimate, separate rooms.

To the left of the hallway is a beautifully proportioned dual-aspect sitting room, centred around a striking Chesneys wood-burning stove set within an exposed brick fireplace and framed by a substantial oak bressummer beam, creating a warm and inviting focal point.

The heart of the home is the impressive open-plan kitchen and dining room. Designed with both family living and entertaining in mind, the space features an extensive range of fitted cabinetry, integrated appliances, granite worktops, a double range cooker, dishwasher and a large American-style fridge freezer. An oak-topped central island provides additional workspace whilst a separate utility room and boot room offer practical storage and space for laundry appliances, together with direct access to the gardens.

Completing the ground floor is an additional reception room, currently utilised as a study, although equally suited as a formal dining room, playroom or snug.

On the first floor are four generous double bedrooms, most of which benefit from fitted wardrobes. Two bedrooms enjoy the luxury of en-suite facilities, while the remaining bedrooms are served by a well-appointed family bathroom featuring a bath with an Aqualisa shower over.

Studio / Apartment Annexe:

One of Oakwood Manor’s most compelling attributes is its exceptional versatility. The property benefits from two established ancillary accommodations, including a self-contained ground-floor apartment, ideal for multi-generational living, guest accommodation or holiday letting, together with a separate first-floor studio offering further independent living space or additional income potential.

Furthermore, the former stables have been partially converted to create an excellent games room, with clear potential for conversion into a third annexe, subject to any necessary consents.

Outside:

The grounds extend to approximately three acres and are predominantly laid to expansive lawns, bordered by mature hedging that provides an excellent degree of privacy and seclusion. A particularly attractive garden area, accessed directly from the utility room, has been thoughtfully landscaped with gravel pathways, stepping stones, a charming summer house and a dedicated fire pit seating area. A dining terrace positioned beneath a pergola creates an idyllic setting for outdoor entertaining, al fresco dining and relaxation while enjoying the peaceful surroundings.
