6 Bed Detached house Sold

Webbsbrook House is a truly wonderful period property that exudes charm and style and has been a much-loved family home for over 30 years. The central body of the house dates back to to the mid 17th century, with side extensions having been added around 150 years ago. Elegant period features combine with modern convenience and function to create a highly desirable family home with flexible accommodation to suit a variety of needs.

Upon entry one is immediately struck by the charming proportions of the property, with a tiled reception hallway with 2 window seats with shutters flanking the central wooden front door. There is space for a piano to one side and tantalising glimpses of the living accommodation beyond. The light and airy beamed sitting room includes a wood burner with a beautiful Delft-tiled surround and there are glorious garden views through the sash windows. The dining room has polished wooden floorboards and another beautifully Delft-tiled feature open fireplace with a charming illuminated display cupboard to one side.

Off the reception hall the flagstone hallway with wooden panelled walls leads past a generous downstairs cloakroom, a useful laundry drying room and a pantry with marble slab and overhead are the original servants' bell windows.

The stylish contemporary kitchen /breakfast room beyond incorporates an extensive range of pale blue wooden units with quartz surfaces plus a central breakfast bar and integrated appliances include a Bosch fridge/freezer and double oven, AEG dishwasher and a NEFF 5 ring gas hob.

Near the end of the hallway a side door opens onto a useful outdoor utility courtyard with gated access to the road. To the far end of the hallway is a large and characterful family room with some exposed stone walls and beams. Originally this was the cook's quarters, with a beamed inglenook fireplace fitted with an oven range but now incorporates a wood burner and could also be used as a play room or office to work from home. Beyond the rear porch is a very useful workshop and a covered storage area along with a large barn: all offer conversion potential if required (subject to the necessary permissions).

The wooden staircase is another notable feature of Webbsbrook House, accessed via a flagstoned rear hallway off the dining room, where a door opens directly onto the garden beyond. With attractively carved wooden banisters and wooden wall panels, the stairs rise up and around a landing with a triple height sash window providing wonderful views of the beautiful garden beyond. The 4 double bedrooms are all a good size, all with sash windows and some with period features including beams and a decorative cast iron fireplace. There are 2 generously sized bathrooms, each with a bath and a separate shower enclosure: one bathroom primarily effectively serves the principal bedroom as an en-suite.

The rear landing stairs rise to the extensive 2nd floor attic space, which is currently arranged in 3 separate areas and provides further potential if required.

The Annexe - currently accessed via an independent front door to the side of Webbsbrook House, the annexe provides self-contained accommodation to suit a variety of needs, including providing a rental income. There is a downstairs shower room and along the hallway is a well-planned kitchen with turquoise metro tiles and pale grey wooden units with space for a cooker, washing machine, fridge and a freezer. The light and airy spacious sitting room is a highlight of the annexe, with a beautifully tiled feature fireplace with Jetmaster electric fire flanked by a sash window to the left and to the right French doors with shutters open directly onto a sunny garden terrace running across the back of the house. The ground floor dining room is also light and airy, with a large sash window with shutters. Stairs rise to the balconied first floor landing, where there is a bathroom and two bedrooms, the principal of which is situated above the sitting room, with 2 large sash windows and glorious garden views.

Outside - the enclosed rear gardens of Webbsbrook House are absolutely gorgeous, mainly laid to lawn with pretty gravelled seating areas and a flagstone path around the back of the house that leads round to the annexe and to gate onto Silver Street.
