A private driveway welcomes you to this exceptional property, splitting to provide direct access to both the main residence and an array of outbuildings including a bespoke triple garage, former dairy, workshop, stone barn, and timber barns.

Stepping inside the main house, a spacious hallway offers access to the drawing room, dining room, staircase to the first floor, cellar stairs, and a rear hallway. The drawing room is filled with natural light thanks to its dual aspect and double doors opening onto the patio. A charming open fireplace forms the centrepiece, and the original shutters remain. Adjacent, the dining room also retains its original shutters and clay tile flooring, with a striking open fireplace and ample space for a ten seater dining table, perfect for entertaining.

Beneath the main staircase lies the entrance to the tanked cellar, which mirrors the size of the drawing room above. Fully carpeted and fitted with power and radiators, this space offers generous storage and the potential to serve as a games room or home cinema. Continuing through the house, the rear hallway leads to a well appointed kitchen diner, cloakroom, study, and rear porch. The downstairs cloakroom showcases period charm with a Victorian style toilet and sink. The newly renovated study features bespoke cabinetry and a fitted desk designed and installed by Strachan of Leeds.

At the heart of the home, the kitchen diner and orangery offer exceptional comfort and style. Enhanced with underfloor heating, the kitchen, expertly designed by Culina and Balneo of Malvern, it boasts solid walnut cabinetry by Stoneham of Sidcup, Kent. A full suite of premium Gaggenau appliances includes a double oven, microwave and combi oven, plate warmer, dishwasher, fridge, freezer, and induction hob. A Siemens wine fridge and a boiling water Quooker tap further elevate the space.

The orangery is bathed in natural light from a gorgeous sky lantern with electric blinds for flexible shading and insulation. Double doors open seamlessly to the patio, creating a wonderful flow for indoor outdoor living. A contemporary Nordpeis log burner adds a warm and inviting ambiance in the cooler months.

To the rear, a practical boot area with built in cabinetry provides ideal storage, leading into a large utility room housing the Worcester Bosch 3250 boiler, sink, and washing machine plumbing. Just off the rear porch, the snug offers a tranquil hideaway with vaulted ceilings, exposed brick and beams, and a characterful log burner.

Upstairs, bedrooms two and three sit at the front of the home, offering beautiful views of the Abberley Clock Tower on clear days. Bedroom three enjoys its own en suite, complete with a roll top bath, freestanding shower, sink, and WC. Bedroom two features a lovely fireplace and has direct access to the stylish Jack and Jill family bathroom, which includes a roll top bath, walk in shower, sink, and WC.

The main suite is located at the rear of the home. It comfortably accommodates an emperor sized bed and benefits from built in wardrobes and a generous en-suite featuring a walk in shower, double sinks, and WC. Adjacent to the main bedroom, a spacious walk in wardrobe with oak cabinetry provides excellent storage and also has potential to serve as a fourth bedroom if desired. Completing the first floor is a large airing cupboard, and the lofts above all bedrooms are fully boarded and insulated, offering even more storage options.

Outside, the grounds are just as impressive. Six external taps and multiple outdoor electrical points add convenience, while a beautifully tiled porcelain patio, accessible from the drawing room, orangery, and rear porch, creates a perfect setting for outdoor entertaining. Steps lead down to the expansive main lawn, surrounded by mature borders and a variety of established trees. The 13 acre grounds include productive farmland and an area ideal for a paddock, offering fantastic scope for hobby farming or equestrian use.

The outbuildings adjoining the house, including the former dairy, kennels, workshop, and stone barn, are all equipped with power and benefit from approved planning permission for conversion into additional accommodation, presenting an exciting opportunity for further development.

The bespoke triple garage is thoughtfully designed in a tandem layout, with a double garage at the front and a single bay to the rear, all fitted with an electric door. Toward the back of the property, a substantial timber barn is currently used for storage but offers excellent potential for conversion into an indoor swimming pool and sauna complex, subject to the necessary planning consents.

This truly unique and much loved home combines original period charm with carefully considered modern updates. With beautifully refurbished interiors, extensive land, and versatile outbuildings, it presents a rare opportunity to own a distinguished and adaptable country property, ready to welcome its next chapter.
