Description
Property Details
Thought to originate from the mid 19th century, The Warren epitomises the charm of its era, featuring generously sized rooms and lofty ceilings. Notably, it holds historical significance as the summer retreat of renowned English composer Ralph Vaughan Williams in 1906 and 1907. Under its current ownership, this exceptional five-bedroom detached period home which showcases elegant brick elevations beneath slate roofs has undergone tasteful enhancements, preserving its distinctive period features. Spanning to 3,824 sq ft across two floors, it offers a stunning and versatile family home with spacious accommodation adaptable to various lifestyles.
On approach to The Warren, the scene is set driving through wrought iron gates onto the sweeping driveway giving the first glimpse of this fine family home. Set over two floors, the internal accommodation offers great balance along with its high ceilings and period features. Upon entering the home, the entrance hallway connects to all ground floor rooms. There are three principal living areas which include the sitting room, family room and reception/dining room, all of which have been elegantly decorated and feature working fireplaces. The kitchen/breakfast room offers ample room for a breakfast table and chairs to enjoy views across the rear garden via double French doors. Within the kitchen are an array of wall and floor units, an island offering further storage, fuel fired Aga, butler sink, integrated dishwasher and two oven electric Aga. Leading directly off the kitchen is the utility room that provides laundry facilities as well as further storage and an integrated sink. A good sized study offers space for those who work from home whilst offering an outlook over the gardens. The cloakroom completes the ground floor accommodation.
Leading to the first floor to a bright and spacious, split level landing, there are five generously sized double bedrooms, of which three of the bedrooms offer the benefit of built in wardrobes. The principal bedroom also offers a luxurious en suite bathroom comprising of a stand-alone roll top bath, walk in shower, pedestal wash basin and low level WC. Bedroom two also has the benefit of its own en suite shower room. There are both a family shower room and additional family bathroom that complete the second floor accommodation with the bathroom offering a stand-alone bath.
Outside the grounds extend to approximately three quarters of an acre which include an outbuilding and barn, offering fantastic potential to convert into further accommodation, subject to obtaining the correct planning permissions. Currently they offer a double car port as well as first floor access and further storage within the old hay loft. To the front of the property an extensive drive provides generous amounts of parking.
Open views across paddocks offer a beautiful backdrop to the garden which is bordered by mature trees and offers an extensive, manicured lawn with herbaceous borders and summer house. Leading from the rear of the property is a paved terrace that creates a fabulous entertaining space for al fresco dining.
