Steeped in history and charm, Wheldon House traces its origins to 1726 and proudly holds Grade II listed status. This exquisite residence seamlessly marries its enduring character with a thoughtful and sympathetic modernisation. Nestled on a plot of approximately 0.25 acres, the property is an exemplar of period elegance, featuring a distinguished stone façade framed by mature hedgerows. An electronic gate at the rear grants access to a spacious, block-paved driveway offering generous parking.

Upon entry, the welcoming hallway immediately sets the tone, adorned with luxurious LVT herringbone flooring that flows harmoniously throughout the ground floor. The property boasts two bespoke kitchens, each thoughtfully designed and fitted with premium Neff appliances. The principal kitchen is equipped with a five-ring gas hob, double oven, microwave, larder fridge and dishwasher, while the breakfast kitchen to the rear includes a similar suite of appliances alongside ample storage and granite countertops.

The heart of the home lies within its elegant living spaces. The main living room features an electric fire set within a cast iron and marble surround, offering both warmth and a focal point of classical beauty. A second living area provides additional comfort, while a tranquil rear snug is thoughtfully equipped with a lift to the first floor. Formal gatherings are perfectly catered for in the dining room, which boasts an atmospheric inglenook.

Ascending to the first floor, five generously proportioned bedrooms await. The master suite and second bedroom features a fully tiled en-suite complete with a walk-in shower, vanity basin, and W.C. The main bathroom is a celebration of traditional luxury, featuring a large bath, a marble-topped sink unit, and a classic radiator. The second floor reveals a versatile additional room with convenient access to loft storage.

The landscaped gardens are a true delight, showcasing carefully curated planting and outdoor living spaces. Two summerhouses, both with electricity and air conditioning, enhance the grounds; one serves as a fully equipped office with Wi-Fi connectivity. The property also features two garages, one of which doubles as a utility room and laundry area, complete with a convenient W.C.
