The Property
Pushing open the front door of this impressive home we are welcomed by the reception hall where the humble grandeur that flows throughout the property is instantly apparent. Our stairs rise to the first floor whilst at the foot of the stairs a door opens to the study providing the perfect position to work within the home. The hallway widens as we step through and a door below the stairs leads down to the full height cellar. All of the main reception rooms are bathed in sunlight, positioned on the southern side of the house and enjoy the stunning views of the garden from full height sash windows. The first of these being the drawing room which is further enhanced by a large bay window looking onto the driveway. An open fireplace offers a cosy focal point to this spacious room. Adjacent we find the sitting room which has served our vendors as the perfect evening room being of more modest proportions, a wood burning stove warms this space. Stepping along the hall we pass the original front door and enter the utility areas which comprise a utility room, walk in larder and generous cloakroom whilst back on the southern side of the house we enter the dining room which flows open plan into the kitchen. These two rooms a designed around entertaining and modern family life, two full height windows fill the space with natural light whilst in the kitchen a range of hand made units line walls and offer superb working space, an aga is set into the original fireplace and French doors open to the verandah allowing the space to flow to the garden. On the first floor the impressive landing leads to the first five double bedrooms, four of which command a view of the grounds and endless views beyond. A bathroom and two separate lavatories serve the bedrooms whilst two cupboards offer superb storage. Completing the accommodation the master suite is found at the head of the stairs. This superb room mirrors the drawing room below enjoying a large bay window and view of the grounds. The room enjoys an en-suite bathroom sympathetically finished to the style of this wonderful Georgian home.

Garden & Grounds
From The Street we approach Wester Waveney on both the Eastern and Western boundaries. On the Eastern side a five bar gate opens between hedged boundary and leads onto a most attractive shingle driveway which is framed with a vibrant range of flower beds, planted banks and box hedged walkways that lead around the house. The drive commands a view over the lawns whilst leading us to the front door where an ornate storm porch welcomes us into the home. On the Western side we find twin electric doors opening from the road to the double garage and a right of way leads us to an additional parking area that approaches the rear entrance. The right of way continues to the side of the grounds allowing meadow access at the foot of the garden. Attached to the garage at the rear of the house a range of garden outbuildings offer superb storage and working space. From the large patio we step onto to the most impressive verandah which extends the full length of the house offering an ideal space to sit and simply take in the ambience whilst enjoying the view of the lawns and wild meadow beyond, steps from the patio lead to the stand alone conservatory which provides an excellent spot to enjoy the grounds throughout the entire year. The kitchen garden echoes the immaculate presentation of the grounds and a summer house is in situ offering an ideal place to rest whilst working the garden. The foot of the plot offers a wild meadow and copse area providing the most impressive view back to the house.
