Description

Elmdale is a truly distinctive country residence, set within approximately eight acres of beautifully maintained grounds which include tractor shed, stables with solar panels fitted, and summer house in the sought-after village of Little Wigborough. This Grade II listed home, dating back to the 18th century, effortlessly combines historic charm with carefully considered modern comforts, creating a property of both character and practicality.

From the moment you enter, the home reveals a wealth of original period features, including exposed timber beams and traditional fireplaces, all contributing to a warm and inviting atmosphere. The generous lounge serves as a focal point of the house, centred around an impressive fireplace that provides a cosy yet elegant setting for everyday living and entertaining. A separate dining room offers a more formal space, ideal for hosting guests, while a dedicated study area provides a flexible area suited to home working or quiet relaxation.

The kitchen forms the heart of the home, thoughtfully designed to balance rustic charm with everyday functionality. Featuring classic-style cabinetry and a spacious walk-in pantry, it provides ample storage and preparation space. Stable doors open directly onto the grounds, creating a seamless connection between indoors and outdoors, while allowing natural light and fresh air to enhance the space.

Upstairs, the property offers four well-proportioned double bedrooms, each enjoying attractive views over the surrounding gardens and countryside. The principal bedroom benefits from fitted wardrobes and a private ensuite bathroom, creating a peaceful and secluded retreat. A further bedroom also includes fitted storage, while the remaining rooms offer versatility for family living, guest accommodation, or additional workspace.

Overall, Elmdale presents a rare opportunity to acquire a home of genuine historic significance, set within idyllic surroundings, yet thoughtfully adapted for modern living.

Externally, the grounds extend to around eight acres, offering a mixture of open land and established surroundings ideal for a variety of lifestyle uses. A range of outbuildings further enhances the appeal of the property. One has been thoughtfully converted to provide a games room and larder, ideal for entertaining and additional storage with excellent potential for conversion into a self-contained annexe, subject to the necessary permissions. Another substantial outbuilding serves as a fully equipped office space, complete with hard-wired internet, a log burner, and direct access to a garage, making it perfectly suited for remote working or running a business from home.

Equestrian or hobby farming interests are well catered for with the inclusion of stables, which are fitted with solar panels connected to the house, contributing to improved energy efficiency and reduced running costs. Additional solar panels further support the property's sustainability credentials.

This remarkable home offers a unique opportunity to acquire a piece of history in a tranquil rural setting, while still benefiting from versatile living spaces, modern conveniences, and extensive outdoor amenities
