Description

Nestled within extensive, beautifully enclosed gardens, this remarkable 1870's detached Victorian residence is an utterly unique offering. Recently upgraded throughout to an exceptional standard, the property seamlessly combines timeless elegance with modern comfort. Providing generous and versatile accommodation, it further benefits from a fully self-contained adjoining studio flat, ideal for extended family, guests, or potential rental use.

The home is approached via a gated entrance that opens onto a long private driveway, creating a grand sense of arrival. The interior is equally impressive, boasting a wealth of original period features including working window shutters, stripped and varnished floorboards, intricate cornicing, ceiling roses, and a collection of striking fireplaces. Upon entering the house, a welcoming vestibule leads into a spacious hallway with an under the stair storage cupboard. The splendid sitting room exudes character, with a large bay window and an eye-catching fireplace. Adjoining this space is a versatile snug or playroom, complete with a built-in shelved cupboard. The drawing room is a magnificent space, flooded with natural light from two bay windows and centred around an elegant fireplace. The heart of the home is undoubtedly the impressive kitchen with dining area, fitted with high-quality Crosby base and wall units, granite work surfaces, a double Belfast sink, an Everhot cooker, and integrated appliances. From here, the utility provides further practical space, housing a range of whitegoods appliances and giving direct access to a large patio and decked terrace, ideal for outdoor entertaining. Located on the ground floor is a generously sized home office, perfect for those working remotely and a stylish WC fitted with a white two-piece suite.
Accessed via the kitchen/utility, the adjoining studio flat offers a superb open-plan layout. The entrance hall features triple bi-folding French doors that lead out to the patio, while the studio room enjoys a pleasant open outlook and incorporates comfortable sitting and dining areas, along with a modern kitchen equipped with integrated oven, hob, extractor, and fridge. A contemporary shower room completes the accommodation, fitted with a sleek white three-piece suite. An elegant staircase rises to the upper floor, where a spacious landing with a storage cupboard leads to the principal bedroom. This stunning room boasts a full-height bay window with breathtaking open views over the surrounding countryside. The adjoining en-suite is fully tiled and includes a luxurious walk-in shower and bespoke sauna. A well-appointed dressing room with built-in wardrobes and access to the attic completes the principal suite. Three further generously proportioned double bedrooms can also be found on this level, along with a stylish, fully tiled family bathroom featuring a white three-piece suite, and mains shower over the bath. The main house is served by oil-fired central heating and double-glazed windows, ensuring warmth and comfort throughout the year. The adjoining studio flat benefits from independent electric heating, offering flexible control and energy efficiency. Externally and occupying approximately one and a half acres, the grounds of Eastwood House are a true sanctuary, fully enclosed and accessed via a secure video-gated entrance. A sweeping driveway leads through the beautifully landscaped gardens, which feature expansive lawns, colourful flower borders, mature shrubs, and majestic trees. A flourishing orchard, bearing apple, pear, and plum trees offers a taste of country living at its best. A generous patio extends to a spacious decked terrace, creating an inviting area for al fresco dining and relaxation. A luxury Spa hot tub is perfect for unwinding or spending quality time with family. A separate outhouse building is currently served as a gym, while a useful garden room and cellar storage are useful additions. The extensive driveway provides parking for several vehicles, while a double detached garage is fully equipped with power, lighting, and offers secure parking and additional storage.
