Description
With its charming pastel-painted façade and pretty latticed windows, Hammercot offers over 5,000 sq ft of beautifully presented living space. This light-filled and versatile family home has been thoughtfully designed for modern living, with spacious interiors creating an airy, welcoming atmosphere. Wood flooring flows throughout much of the ground floor, adding natural warmth and character.
A striking central staircase anchors the generous entrance hallway, which leads to a series of elegant reception rooms. These include a grand drawing room with glazed doors opening to the garden and a classical wooden fireplace, an adjoining formal dining room, a cosy snug with a brick open fireplace, and a bright family room featuring a contemporary raised fireplace and discreet spiral stairs descending to a wine cellar.
The stylish kitchen and breakfast room is fitted with sleek dark cabinetry, a central island, and ample space for a breakfast table. It is complemented by a walk-in larder and a well-appointed utility room with further storage and space for laundry appliances.
Upstairs, there are up to seven well-proportioned rooms, many enjoying elevated views over the surrounding countryside. One room currently serves as a study and another as a dressing room. The impressive principal bedroom includes a wall of fitted wardrobes and a generous en suite shower room, while bedroom two also benefits from its own dressing room and en suite bathroom. The remaining bedrooms are served by a modern family shower room.
Outside, the property enjoys a lovely countryside setting. Timber gates mounted on brick pillars open to a private lane that runs alongside an open paddock, leading to open garaging. A spur from the lane leads to a large paved driveway and parking area in front of the house, which is screened from Grouse Lane by mature rhododendrons and laurel.
The front garden is attractively landscaped with brick-edged beds and climbing shrubs. To the rear, a large paved terrace offers an ideal space for alfresco dining and relaxation, extending past the pool house and opening on to a sweeping lawn dotted with mature specimen trees, providing dappled shade to a number of seating areas.
Beyond the formal gardens lies an additional paddock bordered by mature trees, along with a band of deciduous woodland extending westward.
Woodland, about 6.7 acres.
In all, about 10.5 acres.
