Property description

An early Victorian Grade II listed detached property with a detached one bedroom annexe, a landscaped rear garden and a garage, situated in the village of West Haddon.

This family home, dating from the 1840s, retains many of the original character features, including the front door with its historic chain and ironmongery, restored floorboards, window shutters, open fireplaces, and traditional internal doors and fittings. There is approximately 2765 sq. ft. of accommodation which includes an entrance hall with flagstone flooring, a cloakroom, and stairs to the first floor and access to the sitting room. Also on the ground floor is the kitchen/breakfast/dining room, study and the garden room which has views over the garden and French doors to the terrace. The self contained one bedroom annexe has its own entrance to West Haddon high Street. On the first floor, the principal bedroom overlooks the gardens and has a dressing room, which could alternatively serve as an interconnecting bedroom/nursery, together with an en-suite shower room. There are also two further double bedrooms, a single bedroom, and a family bathroom.

Kitchen/Breakfast/Dining Room

The kitchen has been renovated to combine modern convenience with period charm, featuring the original baker’s oven as a distinctive focal point, granite worktops and a central island ideal for informal dining and socialising. Fitted appliances include a fridge/freezer and a range cooker. The dining space benefits from a fireplace and a window complete with original pull-up shutters, adding to the room’s charm and period appeal. The ground-floor bathroom and utility room offer excellent functionality, with ample space for both a washing machine and tumble dryer.

Rear Garden

The maintained walled garden is a standout feature of the property, with established trees and mature planting creating, private boundaries. At its heart is the swimming pool and surrounding decked area, providing an excellent space for outdoor entertaining and relaxation during the warmer months. Two gated access points lead directly to the village high street, offering both convenience and connectivity. A patio terrace extends from the house to the lawned garden, which is complemented by well-stocked planted borders. Useful outbuildings provide storage, with one housing the swimming pool's maintenance equipment, including the pump and filtration systems.

Annexe

The attached self contained annexe has been recently re-decorated and has a separate double bedroom, sitting room with feature fireplace, shower room with double width shower tray and a separate kitchen with built-in appliances. The annexe has its own separate access to West Haddon High Street.
