Dating back to the 1760s, this beautifully presented and extensively renovated four-bedroom period home in Standlake seamlessly combines character features with high-quality modern improvements. Occupying a generous south-facing plot with wrap-around gardens, a superb garden office and electric gated parking, the property offers over 2,200 sq ft of versatile accommodation in a truly stunning setting on the High Street.
Purchased by the current owners in 2002, the property underwent a comprehensive renovation programme in 2020, including the addition of the dining room and principal bedroom extension above, a new utility room and porch, replacement windows, a new kitchen, new bathrooms, upgraded electrics, new flooring and decoration throughout.
The accommodation is centred around a wonderful open-plan kitchen and dining space, which acts as the heart of the home. The bespoke kitchen was installed in 2020 and features an Everhot range cooker, integrated dishwasher, extensive storage and a large walk-in pantry. There is ample space for dining and informal seating, creating a sociable family environment. A generous utility room provides further storage and appliance space.
Leading from the kitchen is a cosy snug with underfloor heating and views over the garden. The main reception hall provides access to the cloakroom and impressive sitting room, where a log-burning stove creates a warm focal point. A second fireplace remains boarded over within the snug and could potentially be reopened if desired. Underfloor heating runs throughout the kitchen and snug via a water-based system, adding comfort and efficiency.
Upstairs, the property offers four bedrooms and two beautifully appointed bath/shower rooms. The principal bedroom is particularly impressive, featuring a large built-in wardrobe and a luxurious en-suite shower room with electric underfloor heating. Bedrooms two and three are both generous doubles, with bedroom three benefitting from built-in storage. Bedroom four makes an ideal nursery, study or single bedroom.
The family bathroom is a real highlight, featuring a freestanding roll-top bath, separate walk-in shower and electric underfloor heating, creating a luxurious retreat.
Further practical benefits include Gigaclear fibre broadband, a partially boarded loft with ladder access, upgraded electrics and a modern central heating system installed in 2020.
Outside, the property continues to impress. The wrap-around gardens have been beautifully maintained and enjoy a desirable southerly aspect. A well provides an attractive feature within the garden, while a substantial garden room, added in 2022, offers exceptional versatility as a home office, gym or studio. Benefiting from power, wired internet and underfloor heating, it provides a true year-round workspace.
The property is approached via electric gates with both remote controls and app operation, opening onto a resin driveway providing off-road parking for two vehicles. This is a rare opportunity to acquire a thoughtfully renovated period home offering character, modern comfort and excellent outside space in equal measure.
