General Description
Smiths Property Experts offer to the market this exceptional period home in the heart of Sutton Bonington, set in grounds extending to approximately 0.4 of an acre with beautiful mature gardens full of interest. The property offers an impressive 3,200 square feet of living space, as well as a large detached garage/workshop that has conversion potential should the eventual purchaser require annexe accommodation.
Presented in superb condition throughout, this spacious family home blends period features with light-filled and generous living accommodation, comprising five double bedrooms, three and a half bathrooms, and five beautiful reception rooms.
The Property
An enchanting period home with lovely front, side, and rear elevations, surrounded by its grounds. The property has undergone significant and sympathetic upgrading under the current and previous owners' tenure. Affording a wealth of character throughout, including exposed timber beams, working fireplaces, and a superb country kitchen complete with an AGA range and companion. The living accommodation spans approximately 3,200 square feet, including a cellar, and is presented in true ‘move-in’ condition. A spacious entrance hall with Oak flooring has stairs leading up to the first floor and down to a useful cellar. On the first floor, there are five double bedrooms, two of which have en-suite bathrooms, and a family bathroom.
Downstairs are no less than five main reception rooms. Two formal sitting rooms with a working fire in one and a wood-burning stove in the other, both look over the front gardens and out across the village. There is a panelled study, and a family room with doors leading out onto the gardens. There is a beautiful, shaker-style bespoke farmhouse kitchen with an AGA range and companion. There is space for dining, and a pretty window seat that opens into a wonderful Orangery with direct garden access to a lovely seating terrace. There is a gas-effect wood stove in the Orangery, and a pretty galleried landing to/from the first floor. There is also a WC and a useful utility room on the ground floor.
Gardens and Grounds
The grounds extend to approximately 0.4 of acre and include a gated private driveway with granite set blocks, providing off-road parking for multiple vehicles. There is a substantial detached garage alongside the driveway, with a separate workshop to the rear. This building also has potential for an annexe or secondary accommodation should the eventual purchaser wish.
The grounds are nothing short of impressive. With a beautiful outlook of the neighbouring church, and total privacy from all aspects, the current owners have invested heavily in relandscaping and maturing the wrap-around gardens. Full of interest, with tiered beds and borders set amongst manicured lawns. There are several seating terraces, both abutting the main house and set apart, as well as specific points of interest, including a pond, a raised working area, and a first-class greenhouse.
