Step inside this beautiful home showcasing ‘turn of the reign’ Georgian/Victorian period charm.

Description

Wistaria House is an attached home set in an idyllic position with views across its private, walled, south-facing garden.
A central and linear entrance hall welcomes you inside with the original staircase and a wealth of period features ahead of you including exposed stone fire-places. Offering a deliciously sociable flow throughout, the dining room draws you into the semi-open plan kitchen with a choice of sunroom or intimate sitting room. The sunroom is flooded with natural light from double doors onto the rear courtyard which seamlessly bridges the gap between inside and outside; a truly delightful room to enjoy. The kitchen is superb with its vaulted ceiling and sky lights saturating the room with natural light that bounces off the modern shaker style units. A large walk-in larder/pantry compliments this fantastic entertaining space. From the sunroom, a passageway invites you to the spacious and well-appointed utility room with expansive workshop and integral garage beyond. The workshop is a feast for the imagination and would lend itself to a myriad of uses and even possible conversion to an annexe or home office subject to relevant consents. Both workshop and garage have light and power connected and have further doors leading outside. There may even be scope to extend above the workshop, again subject to relevant consents. A luxurious downstairs cloakroom with walk-in shower completes the downstairs accommodation.
Upstairs there are 3 bedrooms, two of which boast extensive built-in wardrobes and exposed stonework over fireplaces. All bedrooms enjoy glorious views over the garden but the master delights in a double aspect engulfing the room in natural light. A family bathroom in traditional period style completes the upstairs accommodation.
Outside double wrought iron gates lead to a paved parking and turning area. Immediately in front of you is the feature wrought iron and glass veranda, ideally positioned to absorb the landscape before you, whatever the weather. This stunning south facing garden is primarily laid to level lawn but interspersed with mature beds, borders, trees and flowering plants. Nip across the patio and you can take a seat in the beach-hut style summerhouse and while away your time immersed in this splendid space.
Wistaria House has been an exceptionally cherished family home and is waiting for the next generation to embrace it and be celebrated.
