The property, meticulously restored by its current homeowners, dates back to 1837 and blends historic charm with modern comforts.

Upon entering, you are greeted by a welcoming entrance hall leading to three character-filled reception spaces. These include an inviting lounge, a comfortable sitting room, and a separate dining room, perfect for entertaining. The fitted kitchen adjoins the dining area and boasts an ESSE freestanding wood-burning cooker and exposed oak beams, creating a warm, country feel. A rear entrance lobby and a separate utility room, cleverly positioned at the rear of the garage, adds to the practicality of this home.

The ground floor also features a versatile annex/bedroom or home office with its own en suite shower room, providing ideal options for guests or adaptable living. A convenient rear lobby provides access to a guest WC and stairs leading down to a useful cellar offering additional storage.

This location offers the perfect balance of countryside living with accessibility to local amenities and commuter routes.

With no onward chain, this property is a truly unique offering.

Sellers Comments: "We first viewed Park View in 2006 and quickly realised its enormous potential. We were captivated by the house’s lovely, spacious and private garden, surrounded by farmland and set in a wonderfully quiet and peaceful location. With the aid of very helpful local conservation officers, we undertook a sympathetic restoration of the property. Along the way, we were delighted to uncover many beautiful and unexpected period features. In addition to restoring the original house, we added a summerhouse, now used as a music room, and a greenhouse, further enhancing our enjoyment of the garden and its rich variety of wildlife. The property appears on the 1837 tithe map, and some architectural features suggest it may be much older. In the early 20th century it was owned by the Vaughan family as part of the Lapley Estate, before being sold in the 1920s. We hope that future families and generations will love and enjoy this special home as much as we have."
