Set within approximately an acre of grounds in the rural hamlet of Wennington, this distinctive single-storey home is anything but ordinary. Designed with space, light and practicality firmly in mind, it offers a layout that feels both sociable and sensibly zoned – ideal for downsizers wanting everything on one level, while still ticking plenty of boxes for families seeking room to grow, inside and out.
At the centre of the home sits an impressive open-plan kitchen, dining and living space with integrated NEFF appliances and a fabulous media wall, measuring over 6.7m by 8m and very much living up to its billing as the hub of the house. Glazed doors and roof lights draw natural light deep into the space, while the layout allows for clearly defined cooking, dining and lounging areas without losing that all-important sense of openness. It’s the sort of room that works equally well for everyday life and entertaining, with enough space that nobody needs to perch awkwardly on an arm of the sofa.
The accommodation radiates neatly from this central space. To one side, a generous utility room provides a practical buffer between daily life and muddy boots, dogs or laundry days, while a versatile third bedroom or study sits nearby – perfect for home working, guests or hobbies that require shutting the door occasionally.
On the opposite side of the house, two further bedrooms are thoughtfully positioned to create a more private wing. The main bedroom is particularly well proportioned, comfortably accommodating bedroom furniture and benefiting from a spacious four-piece en suite. Bedroom two sits adjacent, ideal for family, guests or grandchildren on sleepover duty, and is served by a stylish separate shower room.
Beyond the main living areas, the property also benefits from a covered store and boiler room with additional W.C., adding yet another layer of practicality that makes day-to-day living refreshingly straightforward.
The home has been carefully improved by the current owners and now benefits from a new roof, double glazing, oil-fired central heating via radiators and underfloor heating, and a compliant water treatment plant. Water is supplied from a private bore hole, adding to the home’s sense of independence while remaining fully functional for modern living.
Externally
Outside, the gated driveway opens onto the generous plot, offering ample parking and a wide expanse of garden and land that will appeal to anyone craving space – whether for children, pets, gardening projects or simply the luxury of not being overlooked.
