5 bedroom detached house for sale

Steeped in history and dating back to 1901, this charming residence has been under the care of its current owner for two decades. Whilst already well-maintained upon acquisition, the owner has consistently upgraded and enhanced the property, including the installation of double-glazed sash windows, the addition of a conservatory to the main cottage itself and the transformation of the garage into the most impressive standalone annexe with a spacious conservatory.

The Lilacs boasts versatility, featuring a glazed porch leading to the central area. From here, access is granted to the dining room on one side and the sitting room on the other. The dining room, with its ample space for both seating and dining, features a striking fireplace and double doors opening onto the kitchen. French doors from the kitchen lead to a sunlit patio, creating a delightful spot to begin the day. A convenient utility room complements the kitchen, enhancing its functionality for family living or entertaining. The sitting room, adorned with a fireplace and double doors, opens onto the conservatory, while a secluded study at the rear offers an ideal space for work or study.

Upstairs, the spacious principal suite boasts abundant built-in storage and a large en-suite, with two additional double bedrooms sharing a family bathroom.
Outside, the property continues to captivate with a sheltered courtyard and a sun-soaked stepped patio, offering many chances to find that perfect spot to unwind and relax. The expansive garden, bursting with an array of colour, has played host to numerous garden parties and even a wedding reception. Additional features include a summerhouse, greenhouse, and raised vegetable beds, all enclosed and set back from the road.

The annexe offers two bedrooms, a shower room, additional cloakroom, kitchen, and sitting room, presenting a well-proportioned living space ideal for comfortable living. Recently utilised as a holiday let, the annexe received acclaim, earning a coveted award in its first year. This substantial annexe truly is one of a kind.
