The Property
Haywain House is a charming and thoughtfully extended property, originally conceived as a modest single storey dwelling and significantly enhanced over 30 years ago with the addition of a spacious two storey extension. The property now offers an abundance of accommodation, including generous living spaces on the ground floor and, if desired, the potential for an independent annexe with direct access to the main house.
The principal residence is characterised by a well appointed kitchen, a dedicated study, and two elegant bay fronted reception rooms, providing an ideal setting for both family living and entertaining. The first floor hosts four substantial bedrooms, complemented by two well sized bathrooms.
The original bungalow section of the property has been creatively repurposed, offering a large games room with the retained original garage doors, a cosy snug, a downstairs bathroom, and a practical utility room.
Externally, the property boasts a substantial detached brick built garage, also constructed over 30 years ago. This open fronted building offers three parking bays, with the addition of a separate workshop featuring its own access. This versatile outbuilding presents excellent potential for conversion or further development, depending on individual preferences.
The property is approached via a sweeping driveway which leads to the garage, providing ample parking. The expansive grounds extend to approximately 1.5 acres, with the garden predominantly laid to lawn and bordered by a small wooded area to the right.
