Property Details

A stunning Grade II Listed ‘Modern House’ set in delightful gardens of just under an acre.

This outstanding home was designed by the renowned architect Peter Aldington in 1967 and is arguably one of the most influential designs of post-war domestic housing in Britain. The present owners have been at great pains to conserve and enhance the fabric of the building so it now embraces 21^st Century technology and heat efficiency, including a Green heating system with heat pump.

The visually striking nature of the accommodation is apparent from the moment you set foot in the house. The dining room with its full height ceiling and glazed mezzanine is a pure masterpiece and provides a wonderful outlook over the garden. There are two further principal reception rooms both with full length windows providing a huge amount of light and engaging seamlessly with the outside. The kitchen/breakfast room provides functionality and has a wonderful ageless quality. Bedrooms two and three are on the ground floor, both with full width windows and sharing a well-equipped shower room.

The main bedroom and adjoining dressing room is on the first floor, together with a beautifully crafted bathroom. The mezzanine level provides a lovely space to sit and read overlooking the private garden.

OUTSIDE

The entrance to the property leads off Station Road to a generous parking area finished in brick sets. There is a large outhouse to the front providing useful storage.

The gardens offer complete privacy and are laid predominantly to lawn with well stocked beds and young and mature specimen trees. The guest pod or annexe has a living space opening onto the garden, with a shower room and a mezzanine bedroom.
