4 bedroom village house for sale

Wayside is an attractive, detached house constructed from brick under a tile roof with double-glazed windows. The property is approached by a block paved entrance to a wooden five-bar gate leading into an edged gravel driveway with ample parking.

Beyond the attractive porch with tiled flooring lies an entrance hall with oak strip flooring and stairs rising to the first floor. The entrance hall gives access to a spacious, east-facing sitting room to the right, with views over the lawned garden to the front of the property, and also provides access to an impressive drawing room and dining room to the left.

The drawing room, with a cast iron fireplace and timber surround, offers stunning views over the front lawn to the east and views to the paddock to the south, flooding the room with natural light. The drawing room opens to an excellent-sized dining room, with a westerly aspect providing beautiful views to the rear garden and paddock beyond. This is extended to the large conservatory leading from the dining room, with access to the garden via double doors. A downstairs cloakroom is also fed from the entrance hall and the kitchen and breakfast room, which have limestone flooring and painted units, with space for a fridge freezer and plumbing for a dishwasher. A stable door leads to a good-sized breakfast room with stunning rear views and access to the patio to the rear of the property. A spacious utility room is accessed from the breakfast room with lovely views of the front lawn, as is a modern home office with built-in desks and a dual aspect.

The stairs in the entrance hall rise to a light and airy first-floor landing, providing access to four bedrooms and three bathrooms, two of which are en suites. The landing also provides access to an airing cupboard. The impressive principal bedroom has an east-facing view over the front lawn and a large, modern en suite bathroom with a claw-foot bath and beautiful views of the paddock and gardens to the rear.

These stunning views extend to Bedroom two, with a dual aspect to the south and the west and built-in wardrobes. This bedroom also benefits from an en suite shower room with a small window to allow in natural light.

The spacious family bathroom, with a spa corner bath and two large windows with views to the rear, feeds two further double bedrooms. Both bedrooms have an easterly view of the lawned garden to the front of the property, and one has a small window with a southerly aspect to the paddock and built-in wardrobes.

The outbuildings extend to two wooden stables with a concrete floor, suitable for equestrian use, and a large dog kennel and run.

The garden and grounds extend to 1.15 acres and are a particular feature of the property. The garden is principally lawned, with an ornamental pond and a range of trees and flowers, including a magnificent oak tree, two apple trees and two camellias. The two paddocks are also home to various trees, including evergreen trees, a weeping willow, rowan and more. The rear garden provides access to one of the paddocks, and the other paddock has separate gated access off Kington Lane and is also accessed from the front
garden.
