4 bedroom detached house for sale

Tucked away in a tranquil position within the highly desirable village of Aston, this enchanting Grade II listed four-bedroom detached home offers an exceptional sense of privacy, entirely removed from passing traffic. Steeped in period charm, it showcases a wealth of original features - including open fireplaces, exposed wall and ceiling timbers, and traditional latch doors - together providing impressive and beautifully preserved accommodation.

Believed to originate from the 17th Century, with a delightful thatched extension added in the 19th Century, the property exudes character from the moment you step through the timber front door into the central hallway. The ground floor unfolds to reveal a spacious dual-aspect dining room centred around a magnificent inglenook fireplace, and a striking lounge - formerly the village meeting room - boasting a vaulted ceiling, gallery landing, exposed brick fireplace, and double-aspect views. A well-appointed kitchen/breakfast room and a cloakroom complete the main level.

The first floor hosts two charming bedrooms, including a generous principal bedroom with en-suite shower room and dressing area, alongside a separate family bathroom. A further staircase rises to the second floor, where two additional character-filled bedrooms await (please note: restricted head height to one room’s entrance).

Set within a generous 1/3 acre plot, the property enjoys a wonderfully sunny rear garden featuring a patio, expansive lawns, mature trees, hedged boundaries, picturesque cottage planting, a summer house, and a shaped nature pond. A raised terrace accommodates a swimming pool, which can easily be enclosed if required.
To the front, a gated driveway offers parking for several vehicles and leads to a detached triple garage. Completing the picture are two charming outbuildings: a brick-built former village bakehouse and an additional detached store.
Agents notes: Access to the driveway from Benington Road is narrow - suitable for cars, though not for larger vehicles.

Aston is a highly sought-after village celebrated for its friendly atmosphere and exceptional community spirit. Though compact, it offers an impressive range of clubs, societies, and interest groups, and is home to a popular annual school fête that brings the whole area together. Steeped in heritage, the village features a picturesque church, a pre-school welcoming children from age two, and an Ofsted Outstanding infant and junior school - ideal for families. Lifestyle amenities abound, with tennis, bowls, badminton, cricket, a dedicated Pilates studio, and a generous community recreation ground all close at hand. Charming country pubs complete the village setting, making Aston an enviable place to call home.
