In finer detail
In the beating heart of Shottery village, a stunning property defies expectations. Imagine a home that challenges the norms of location and space, where historical allure is woven seamlessly with contemporary elegance. This home doesn’t just exist; it expands into an uncommonly spacious one-acre plot - a delightful anomaly for such a central spot. Yes, one entire acre; it’s an oasis of tranquil suburban living, right in the core of the bustling village.
Originally constructed in 1812, this home marries the charisma of yesteryears with the sophistication of the modern era. Every inch of this double bay-fronted wonder has been painstakingly refurbished and extended, proving that the magic lies in details and grandeur thrives in space.

Upon approach, this home greets you with secure, regal electric double gates. An expansive driveway unfolds, generously accommodating up to ten vehicles - a testament to the magnitude of this property. Set majestically amidst a quaint, green fore garden, the house boldly declares its presence, immediately captivating your senses.

The entrance takes you into a warm reception hall, serving as your introduction to the charm and character this home offers. One of the hall’s intriguing features is a reinforced glass hatch sunken into the floor - a subtle entrance to a converted cellar. This area is a realm of possibilities: an ultimate home cinema, an entertaining games room, or a wine connoisseur’s private store.

Venture a little further, and you’ll encounter a cosy study; a sanctuary dressed with a charming bay window and a log burning fire. Practical, fitted bookshelves offer space for your collection of classics. Meanwhile, the generous main sitting room stretches from the front to the back of the house, decorated with hardwood double-glazed sash windows and original shutters that highlight its historic roots.

Hidden in plain sight is a secret room, masquerading behind a bookcase door. This whimsical touch unveils a convenient ground floor bedroom complete with an en-suite shower room, adding a sprinkle of intrigue to the practicality of the home.

At the core of the house lies an open-plan kitchen that would be the envy of any gourmet. This space, crowned with high-spec appliances and features including a gin bar, quartz countertops, and four ovens, is a testament to culinary luxury. The views from the kitchen are a treat, with a bay window and Shucho powered coated aluminium bi-fold doors offering a picturesque panorama of the surrounding garden. An adjacent utility room houses the boiler and provides useful storage.

Ascending to the first floor, you’re met with four spacious double bedrooms. The master suite stands as an impressive epitome of luxury, spanning a whopping 24 feet and boasting separate his-and-hers dressing rooms. A luxurious en-suite bathroom, replete with dual sinks and a large walk-in shower, completes the suite. The guest bedroom comes with its own en-suite, while the remaining bedrooms share a meticulously designed four-piece bathroom, furnished with a double shower.

Gardens & Grounds

Stepping outside, the property continues to astound. A walled rear garden offers a sanctuary of calm, with an extensive patio and a raised composite sun deck. An oak-framed shelter stands ready for barbecues and outdoor entertainment. To the front, a ‘paddock’ sprawls across 0.6 of an acre, home to a vibrant selection of fruit and almond trees. An oak-framed stable block adds more charm, housing a home gym, a garage, and a woodshed. An electric charging point is conveniently located nearby.

A note to interested parties, there is an overage clause on the paddock with a 25% uplift clause should planning permission be granted in the next 25 years.

In its size and spec, location and charm, this Shottery home is a testament to the art of living large - a historical gem infused with modern opulence.
