Property description

A period four/five bedroom detached property with a detached annexe, outbuildings, a gated driveway, double carport, garage and landscaped garden, situated in a private location in the village of Spratton.

The White House is set behind hardwood gates and has been thoughtfully improved by the current owners. There is approximately 2,455 sq. ft. of versatile characterful accommodation set over three floors which includes an entrance hall with a cloakroom, cloak cupboard and access to the 27 ft. triple aspect sitting room which has a feature fireplace with a log burner, stairs to the first floor and French doors to the garden. Also on the ground floor is the open plan kitchen/dining room, a study and the utility/laundry room. The first floor offers the principal bedroom, with an adjoining room currently arranged as a dressing room which could be used as a further bedroom, nursery or study. There are two additional bedrooms on this floor, one with an en suite bathroom and built in storage, served by a separate shower room. A further double bedroom, with a walk in store room, occupies the entire second floor.

Kitchen/Dining Room

The kitchen has exposed timbers and is fitted with a range of hand built oak units with tiled splashbacks and quartz work surfaces incorporating a Rangemaster Belfast sink with a mixer tap. Integrated appliances include a dishwasher, a microwave/combination oven and a four oven Aga. Tiled flooring continues into the dining area which has a matching hand built dresser, a built-in window seat with storage, and space for a table and chairs.

Annexe

The detached annexe has a vaulted ceiling and French doors opening to the garden. It currently provides a versatile room with its own shower room and WC and is currently used as a home office and guest room. The annexe forms part of an L shaped range of adjoining outbuildings that includes the carport, which would offer a straightforward opportunity to extend the annexe accommodation and add a kitchen and or further bedroom, creating fully self-contained living space, subject to planning permission. It would suit multi-generational living, guests, an au pair, home working or potential income. The annexe is separately assessed for council tax.

Outside

Hardwood gates open to a block paved courtyard which provides parking for multiple cars, in addition to the garage and double carport. The private garden is enclosed by fencing and mature hedging and is laid to lawn with established shrub and flower borders. Steps lead down to a paved terrace which is partially sheltered by a timber pergola with a tiled roof over, and lighting, which can also be reached from the sitting room and provides an idea space for outdoor dining and entertaining. There is a further seating area, two brick built sheds, a wood store.
