Detached House for sale with 4 bedrooms, High Street, Wingham

You could drive through the picturesque village of Wingham a hundred times and not realise there is a discreetly hidden private road that leads to a small but charming enclave of impressive houses surrounded by large gardens. The properties include this delightful oak framed residence nestling in the midst of 1.19 acres of grounds that backs onto farmland and includes development potential to build a separate detached property. This eco-friendly house incorporates cutting edge technology with a geothermal heat pump and solar panels and was built for the owner about 10 years ago by Target Timber Systems. It has an appealing brick façade, triple glazed windows and French doors as well as a delightful pitched roof porch and a composite front door.

The property is approached along the private road leading to automatic wrought iron gates that open onto a vast gravel forecourt where you can park numerous vehicles and an inner drive that continues through the grounds, flanked by two spacious and level lawns interspersed with an array of charming trees. There is a separate building that comprises two car ports and a garage, a garden shed and low inner wrought iron gates to the garden as well as access to the main entrance. A welcoming reception hall features wood effect tiled flooring and underfloor heating that flows throughout the ground floor, an impressive central staircase leading to a large galleried landing, a vast understairs cupboard, oak skirtings and beautiful oak doors with matching architraves to the living accommodation. This includes a good sized dual aspect study/fifth bedroom, ideally situated just inside the front door providing easy access for business visitors.

A delightful light and bright triple aspect sitting room has French doors to a spacious terrace, ornate cornicing and a stone fireplace with a log burner that creates a charming focal point. The cornicing continues in the dining room that has sliding door access to the attractive kitchen/breakfast room for ease of catering. The well-equipped, dual aspect kitchen/breakfast room also has French doors to the terrace and includes a Rangemaster cooker, white panelled floor and wall units with marble worktops housing integrated appliances such as a dishwasher, fridge freezer, pull out larder and a central island/breakfast bar as well as room for a table and chairs. There is a similarly fitted utility room with space for laundry appliances, a contemporary shower room and a side door to the forecourt.

The large galleried landing offers a delightful seating area with views over the garden, a large storage cupboard and access to a fabulous family bathroom with attractive tiling, a corner Jacuzzi bath, a separate shower and a contemporary vanity basin. There are three dual aspect double bedrooms with lovely views including one with access to the boarded attic and the dual aspect main bedroom with a walk in wardrobe and a superb ensuite with equally delightful tiling, a contemporary bath, separate shower and a vanity basin.

Although the grounds are substantial, they are easy to manage with just a few strategically placed flower beds, shrub borders and trees including a variety of fruit trees. The rest of the garden is mainly laid to lawn with a sheltered terrace, a charming raised fishpond, a pergola and a good sized summerhouse with a balcony. The very large further lawn area is bordered by farmland and tall mature trees and includes a workshop/summerhouse and it is in this area where there is the potential for development.
