Meadowtoft is a charming and characterful period home, situated in the highly sought-after village of Willoughby Waterleys. Lovingly restored by the current owners, the property offers beautifully presented and well-proportioned family accommodation arranged over three floors, combining period features with modern living.
The attractive façade is complemented by fitted shutters and stripped internal doors, setting the tone for the character found throughout. The property is entered via a central hallway, which provides access to two elegant reception rooms - a formal dining room and a sitting room - both centred around wood-burning stoves, creating warm and inviting spaces.
To the rear, a superb triple-aspect lounge is filled with natural light and features a stone fireplace with a wood-burning stove. A striking glazed gable with French doors opens onto the rear garden, enhancing the connection between indoor and outdoor living. The spacious dining kitchen enjoys a bay window overlooking the garden and open countryside beyond and is fitted with bespoke cabinetry, thoughtfully designed to incorporate integrated appliances alongside a range-style cooker.
The ground floor is further complemented by a guest cloakroom, along with access to a cellar which is currently utilised as a utility room and also incorporates a wine cellar.
To the first floor are three generous double bedrooms, all benefiting from fitted wardrobes, including a principal bedroom with ensuite shower room. The remaining bedrooms are served by a well-appointed four-piece family bathroom.
Occupying the second floor is a bright landing with a floor-to-ceiling picture window overlooking open countryside, alongside two further bedrooms, one enhanced by fitted wardrobes and useful eaves storage, with a shower room serving this level.
Externally, the property enjoys a beautifully maintained plot, including a south-west facing paved terrace ideal for outdoor dining, leading onto a lawned garden. Electric gates open onto a flagstone driveway, which provides ample parking and leads to a detached double garage with two electric up-and-over doors. A further lawned garden lies adjacent to open fields and is thoughtfully planted with mature shrubs, well-stocked borders, and a greenhouse.
A wonderful opportunity to acquire a character home in a desirable village setting, offering both charm and practical family living.
