About This Property

Once the home of composer Sir Malcolm Arnold, this striking detached house has been thoughtfully remodelled and extended to create an exceptional village residence in a highly sought after setting.

Blending period charm with modern convenience, the property is arranged over three floors, with every bedroom enjoying dual aspects and an abundance of natural light. Features include underfloor heating throughout the ground floor and bathrooms, along with high-speed internet connectivity.

The ground floor has been designed with versatility and flow in mind. A spacious entrance hall leads to a bright sitting room with triple aspects and garden views, which connects seamlessly to a conservatory. A formal dining room provides an elegant entertaining space, while the beautifully appointed kitchen and breakfast room offers bespoke cabinetry, a central island, integrated appliances and sliding doors opening to the secluded rear garden.

Additional accommodation includes a study, boot room, utility, pantry, cloakroom and cellar, together with direct access to a double length garage, ensuring both practicality and convenience.

Upstairs, five double bedrooms are served by three bathrooms (two en suite) and a separate WC. The principal suite is especially impressive, with its own dressing area and private bathroom. A sixth bedroom or family room occupies the top floor, along with ample eaves storage.

Outside, the gardens gracefully encircle the house, beautifully landscaped with sweeping lawns, mature borders, and meandering pathways. Dotted with fruit trees and bushes including apple, plum, pear, and blackcurrant, the grounds offer both beauty and abundance. Set behind a traditional stone wall and gated driveway, the property combines privacy with ample parking. Perfectly positioned at the heart of the village, it enjoys direct access to an extensive network of footpaths and bridleways, as well as the playground, recreation ground, and cricket ground, creating a truly idyllic setting for family life.
