Four Ways is a beautifully restored detached period home that has undergone an extensive and meticulous renovation to an exceptionally high standard by its current owners. Years of careful work have brought out the property's original character and charm, while making it a highly practical, modern family home for today. Key improvements include reconfigured room layouts, removal of uneven floor levels, the installation of underfloor heating, and the replacement of all windows and doors.
The heart of the home is the impressive kitchen, which features a large central island with a traditional butler sink, bespoke country-style cabinetry with chunky wooden worktops, space for an American fridge/freezer, and a range cooker. A charming mantle and French doors provide access to the garden, while a stable door offers another convenient exit.

The expansive drawing room, measuring nearly 400 sq. ft, has elegant wooden floors and an inglenook fireplace. It’s filled with natural light, thanks to a combination of front and rear-facing windows, plus a set of double doors that open to the garden. Adjacent to the drawing room is a further reception area, currently used as a family room or snug. This room benefits from a modern, connected bathroom with a shower, making it suitable as a ground-floor bedroom if needed. Alternatively, it could serve as an ideal office space. Also accessible from the kitchen is a well-appointed utility room, complete with a guest WC.

The principal bedroom features built-in wardrobes, a shower en-suite, and a stunning window seat with views over the rolling countryside. The remaining three bedrooms share a spacious family bathroom, which includes double sinks, a roll-top bath, and a separate shower.
The property is set behind gates in beautifully landscaped grounds, featuring a winding shingle driveway leading up to the house and a newly built, detached timber-clad double garage with storage above and potential to create additional living space subject to planning. The main garden is laid to lawn, with mature hedging providing privacy, planted flower beds, and a wooden gazebo. A west-facing paved terrace links the kitchen to the drawing room, offering a wonderful space for outdoor entertaining.
