Full property description
A beautifully maintained and thoughtfully enhanced detached four-bedroom family home, enjoying incredible uninterrupted views and set within approximately 1.5 acres of enchanting, immaculately landscaped grounds.
Broadacres was built in the early 1900's and is rich in period character, flourishing in exposed beams, vaulted ceilings, parquet flooring, and elegant timber-framed windows. Having remained in the same family for almost 50 years, the property has been lovingly cared for and sensitively updated over time. Improvements include a sympathetic extension, the addition of a conservatory, and more recently, bi-fold doors spanning the rear elevation to perfectly frame the spectacular views beyond.
The substantial gated driveway leads to the main entrance, centrally positioned and opening into a welcoming lobby, which in turn flows through to a spacious central reception hall with staircase rising to the first floor.
The kitchen/breakfast room features a vaulted ceiling with skylight and a window overlooking the front gardens, creating a wonderfully light and airy space. Fitted with solid wood cabinetry, it incorporates a double oven and stainless steel sink with mixer tap. The kitchen is further complemented by a utility room, separate WC, and a side entrance providing convenient access to the driveway.
The impressive 24ft open-plan living area is arranged over split levels, creating both character and definition. A wood-burning stove sits within exposed brickwork beneath an oak bressummer beam, forming an attractive focal point. A few steps lead down to the dining area, where recently restored parquet flooring and bi-fold doors open onto the raised sun terrace, perfectly framing the far-reaching views.
The living space is further enhanced by an elegant conservatory, ideally positioned to enjoy the beautifully maintained gardens and the stunning landscape beyond.
The ground floor offers three double bedrooms and a well-appointed family bathroom. To the first floor is a generous open-plan space, ideal as a principal bedroom but equally suitable for division into two separate rooms if required. A compact en-suite with WC and basin is in place; while there is currently no shower, there is clear potential to adapt the space to incorporate one.
OUTSIDE:
Broadacres sits within approximately 1.5 acres of enchanting, mature grounds. The gardens are richly planted with a variety of established trees, including oak, English maple, and an elegant liquidambar. Thoughtfully landscaped, the grounds provide a series of delightful seating areas for relaxation and al fresco dining, easily accessed from the house and perfectly positioned to take in the stunning surroundings.
Towards the lower section of the garden lies a charming fruit orchard with apple and pear trees, while a large pond attracts an abundance of wildlife and enhances the tranquil setting. A dog enclosure equally suitable as a chicken coop adds further versatility, and wooded areas provide dappled shade and an idyllic space for children to explore and play.
The substantial 30ft garage offers excellent workshop space and presents exciting potential for conversion into a self-contained annexe, subject to the necessary planning permissions.
