A Charming 6 Bedroom Period Family House, With Self Contained Annexe And Grounds Of About 1.3 Acres

Surprisingly not listed, Periwinkle Hall offers a wealth of quintessential charm, combined with elegant rooms ideal for formal and informal family living. Having undergone significant energy efficiency upgrades, such as solar panels, air-source heat pumps, and battery storage, this fine home brings a traditional farmhouse into 21st living.

The main living and entertaining space is the impressive 39ft open-plan kitchen/breakfast room, with tiled flooring, a brickbuilt fireplace fitted with a logburner, skylights and bi-fold doors opening to the rear gardens. The kitchen is fitted with white Shaker-style units, a large central island, a built-in breakfast area with banquette seating and integrated appliances, including four ovens and a gas hob with extractor hood, while there is also room for a seating area. Bi-fold doors connect the kitchen/breakfast room to the sitting room, which has a dual aspect, exposed brickwork, a vaulted ceiling and exposed eaves. Further ground floor accommodation includes a formal dining room, a utility/boot room, and to the far end of the property is an additional reception room ideal as a home office or guest wing with access to a further bedroom or store above.

To the first and second floors are five well-appointed double bedrooms. These include the large principal bedroom, with its
dressing room and en suite bathroom featuring a bathtub and separate shower. There are two further bath/shower rooms that complete the main house.

The self-contained annexe is connected to the garage and features a well-equipped kitchen and sitting room, with French doors opening to the gardens. Upstairs is a double bedroom with en suite facilities. The annexe provides useful additional accommodation for family members or visiting guests.

Outside, the gardens include lawns to the front and rear, all year round pretty border planting with various shrubs and flowering perennials, mature trees and a sprawling south-facing rear patio, providing an attractive setting for al fresco dining and entertaining. The driveway sits to the side and rear of the property giving access to the triple garage and ample parking.
