5 bedroom detached house

In a fantastic situation for the main village centre and station, yet with complete privacy, this outstanding property provides an opportunity to purchase a substantial family home in the heart of the village.

Significantly re-modelled and developed over the years from an original Chown bungalow, the house effortlessly combines a stylish modern feel with some wonderful original features bearing the hallmarks of this iconic village builder. The modern flint cobble render on the front elevation is a nod to the local Lovelace style whilst the covered loggia on the rear is a wonderful Chown feature with it curved brick built archway. Inside, the theme continues with the original Herringbone wood block flooring to the ground floor hallway and principal sitting room, the wrought iron balustraded staircase, the exposed oak beams and the stained glass ceiling panel to the first floor landing. In contrast, the recent addition of a contemporary style second sitting room to the side, has scope to be used as a self contained annexe, discreetly accessed from the interior or by its own exterior front door.

The large Kitchen on the rear is certainly the heart of the home with a split level, open plan Family room adjoining and with access to the Loggia. The other reception rooms lead off the central entrance hallway with the option of a further bedroom/ensuite on the ground floor to compliment the modern annexe area. The latter is an impressive addition with floor to ceiling windows and a wall of sliding glass doors opening onto raised decking, with a kitchen area and separate cloakroom.

Upstairs, the house has a pleasant galleried landing from which all the bedroom accommodation flows. Each room is a generous sized double plus there is a nicely positioned Study accessed by glazed doors. Both this room and the Master bedroom have access onto a private balcony overlooking the rear garden. The second bedroom benefits from the recent addition of a large dressing room and ensuite shower room whilst the other three bedrooms all have built in wardrobe storage.

Ormonde’s precise location is hard to beat in terms of convenience, seclusion and aspect. It is an appealing prospect for those looking for a distinct family home with plenty of character and flexible living to suit.
