A unique opportunity to acquire a fascinating individual detached character conversion which has undergone a significant programme of sympathetic restoration combining the initial aesthetics expected with a traditional home with high ceilings, exposed timbers and a range of natural materials, with the clever addition of a substantial contemporary extension which provides a superb light and airy open plan living/entertaining space with wonderful aspect out into the private rear garden and linking through into the original part of the house.
A great deal of thought and attention to detail has gone into this stunning home which has been tastefully fitted to a very high standard with contemporary fixtures and fittings sympathetic to the original build, with oak internal doors, stunning fitted kitchen with integrated appliances, superb bath and shower rooms and a combination of attractive flooring throughout. Viewing comes highly recommended to appreciate the level and versatility of the accommodation.
The original part of the house, as the name suggests, was a former Victorian sawmill and much of its original character has been maintained with high ceilings and exposed beams, and spacious individual rooms which are likely to suit a wide variety of prospective purchasers but we suspect in the main growing or extended families.
The accommodation comprises an attractive entrance hall with contemporary oak and glass staircase rising to the first floor landing and also leading on to a stunning ground floor bedroom suite, which could be utilised as an annexe or alternatively an impressive master bedroom suite and comprising an initial walk-in dressing room, ensuite bathroom and beautiful well-proportioned double bedroom. In addition there is a spacious utility room and ground floor cloakroom. The hallway links into the new extension which is an impressive open plan L-shaped contemporary space with a beautifully appointed kitchen leading into both a main living room with contemporary fireplace and separate entertainment area with access out onto the rear garden.
To the first floor are three further double bedrooms each with their own individual character and one with ensuite facilities. Bedroom 3 has been cleverly designed to make use of the high vaulted ceiling with a hanging mezzanine galleried area which provides space for a double bed, with the lower level making an ideal reception area perfect as a teenage bedroom. In addition there is a beautifully appointed contemporary bathroom.
The property occupies an attractive semi-rural position still within a short drive of a wealth of amenities in the local market town of Bingham, set well back from the lane behind gated access which leads onto a substantial sweeping driveway which in turn leads to a large double garage. The rear garden offers a high degree of privacy and has been landscaped to create an excellent outdoor space which links back into the main reception areas. The total plot lies in the region of 0.345 of an acre.
