Description

Luscombe Maye is delighted to bring to market Whitehorn, a beautifully presented detached home offering generous living accommodation, attractive gardens, driveway parking, and a garage. Enjoying views across the surrounding countryside, the property perfectly combines an idyllic hamlet setting while remaining within easy reach of numerous destinations, making it an ideal and accessible spot.

Upon entering the property, a stable door opens into a welcoming porch — a practical space for coats and boots, complete with a charming window seat. From here, you step into the spacious entrance hall, where wood-effect flooring leads through to the open-plan kitchen and dining area — truly the heart of the home.

The well-appointed kitchen features a range of matching floor and wall units with space for a large cooker, while the generous dining area comfortably accommodates a family-sized table — ideal for both everyday living and entertaining guests. The room flows seamlessly into the reception room, which continues the theme of enjoying the beautiful countryside views. Built-in bookcases and a feature fireplace add warmth and character.

Two double bedrooms are located on the ground floor, with the front bedroom benefiting from built-in wardrobes. A modern shower room serves this level, featuring a toilet, wash hand basin, and walk-in shower. Stairs ascend to the first floor, where you will find two further double bedrooms, both generous in size. Completing this level is a stylish family bathroom featuring a toilet, bidet, and freestanding bath, complemented by attractive tiling.

At the front of the property, there is ample driveway parking along with a single garage. The front garden is laid to lawn and bordered by mature hedging, while to the side of the house a decked terrace provides a lovely private space for outdoor dining in the warmer months. A paved patio lies to the rear, with a side door giving access to the garage and a further brick-built outbuilding currently used as a utility room, complete with space and plumbing for a washing machine. This versatile additional space is ideal for other uses such as a home office or similar purpose.

Whitehorn is a fantastic family home that has been enjoyed by the current owners for many years. Viewing is highly recommended to appreciate everything this property has to offer.
