"A beautifully upgraded detached house with private gardens, quietly positioned in the sought-after Painshawfield Estate"
The Property
Waverley is a substantial and beautifully reimagined detached home, set within approximately 1.2 acres of mature, landscaped gardens on a quiet tree-lined road in the highly sought-after Painshawfield estate in Stocksfield. Thoughtfully renovated and extended to an exceptional standard, the property now offers over 4,500 sq ft of versatile living space, with high-quality interiors and elegantly proportioned rooms designed for both entertaining and everyday family life.
From the front door, the entrance hall connects directly to the integral double garage, and a flexible reception room—currently used as an office/tv room with double doors opening onto the terrace. Beyond, the central reception hall introduces the home’s impressive scale and light, with three further reception spaces arranged across the rear elevation.
The games room centres around a multi-fuel stove set on a stone hearth with an oak mantle and features a bespoke fitted oak bar and a wide bay window framing views of the garden. Adjacent, the drawing room offers further warmth and character, with its own multi-fuel stove set on a stone hearth with an oak mantle. Further along, the snug provides a more intimate retreat, with views across the front garden and direct access to the kitchen.
At the far end of the house, the kitchen and orangery form a showpiece open-plan living space. Soft natural light floods the room from a glazed roof lantern and expansive glazing, while French doors open onto a raised deck for easy indoor-outdoor living. The kitchen itself is fitted with high-spec painted cabinetry beneath granite worktops, with a double Belfast sink, range-style cooker, integrated appliances (including steam oven, microwave, dishwasher and wine cooler), and a large central island with built-in dining table. A porcelain tiled floor with underfloor heating runs throughout. Off the kitchen lies a practical utility room and boot room with secondary access to the garden, while a cloakroom/WC sits off the reception hall.
Upstairs, the original period staircase rises to a spacious galleried landing, naturally lit and calm in tone. The principal suite occupies the eastern wing of the house, enjoying elevated views across both the front and rear gardens. It features bespoke fitted wardrobes, a dedicated dressing room, and a luxurious en-suite with a walk-in shower, marble-topped vanity, and WC.
At the western end, a generous guest suite includes fitted wardrobes and a contemporary en-suite shower room. Two further double bedrooms—one of which also features fitted wardrobes—are served by a stylish main bathroom with a freestanding bath, separate steam room/shower, underfloor heating, and porcelain tiling throughout.
Externally
Waverley is approached via remotely operated electric gates leading to a broad block-paved driveway with ample parking and a double garage. The garage is insulated, connected to power and water, and provides internal access to the house as well as to the garden.
The plot spans around 1.2 acres, wrapping the house with mature lawns, trees, and carefully landscaped planting. The rear garden is particularly private, with two decked terraces offering elevated seating areas and steps leading to a paved entertaining terrace and lawn. At the far end, a secluded woodland glade—crisscrossed by walking paths—forms a quiet wildlife haven. Hidden amongst the trees are two sturdy timber-built storage sheds and a large wood store.
Sensory-controlled outdoor lighting enhances both security and evening ambience.
