This stunning flint-built property on Smugglers Lane is thought to have originated in the 16th century. Spanning more than 3,500 sqft of living space and a large garden spanning 0.35 acres with another acre negotiable. It offers a unique blend of historic charm and modern convenience. Moreover, the property has received planning permission for the conversion of an agricultural barn into a garage with a one-bedroom annex above, offering flexible living space for guests or potential use as an Airbnb.
This picturesque country lane, winds through beautiful countryside, past fields, and woodland, and is steeped in history. The name "Smugglers Lane" comes from its history as a route used by smugglers to transport contraband goods such as tobacco and alcohol from the coast to the interior of the country. Today, the lane is a popular spot for walkers and cyclists, with many footpaths and trails to explore in the surrounding area.
This beautiful property, complete with five generously sized bedrooms. The master bedroom, located separately from the other bedrooms, offers privacy and ample space, featuring a beautiful spa bath with lighting and a walk-in shower with body jets, as well as a walk-in wardrobe. Up another small staircase, you'll find the remaining four bedrooms and a family bathroom, with the guest bedroom boasting an en-suite with luxurious limestone flooring. As you ascend further up the stairs, you'll discover the large attic room, fully boarded and walled, with two Velux windows overlooking the beautiful grounds beyond. With the potential to become a playroom, home office, or even a cinema room, this space offers endless possibilities for your family's enjoyment.
The ground floor is equally impressive, featuring a seamless flow from the entrance hall to the elegant dining/family room with high ceilings - perfect for both everyday living and formal entertaining. The adjacent kitchen/breakfast room boasts a bespoke Searle & Taylor kitchen with integrated appliances, a fitted dresser unit, and space for a table and chairs.
This historic home is truly exquisite, boasting a perfect blend of modern convenience and traditional charm.
The secluded private gardens and paddock above provide a tranquil space for outdoor entertainment, with a granite patio and rose arbour, and the paddock offering children hours of fun or the opportunity for natural gardening, with stunning views over the open countryside beyond.
