Welcome to Maranede, a remarkable Victorian residence dating back to the 1870s. Extensively renovated and extended by the current owners since 2006, it now provides over 4,200 sq.ft. Of versatile living space across the main house and extensive outbuildings, comparable in scale to many detached homes in the area.
Period charm meets modern elegance throughout. High ceilings, large sash windows and fireplaces complement a generous entrance hall and three elegant reception rooms. The large kitchen with adjoining utility, cloakroom and a versatile basement (ideal for a wine cellar) completes the ground floor.
Upstairs, four spacious bedrooms, three with period fireplaces and tall ceilings, and a large family bathroom, while the top floor hosts a superb principal/guest suite and a split-level office or hobby room accessed by a secondary staircase. Every room enjoys unique views of the gardens surrounding it.
Outside, the landscaped grounds offer a sense of seclusion. A striking monkey puzzle tree frames the main garden, while a south-facing hidden garden creates a private sun trap. A substantial 760 sq.ft. Garden studio with kitchen and heating provides endless year-round uses as a gym, games room, creative studio or a self-contained annexe (STP).
To the front, a private gated driveway for up to four cars leads to a large garage with an adjoining purpose-built 260sq.ft office and W.C., blending practicality with period character.
