Description

**GUIDE PRICE £550,000 - £600,000** Occupying an exceptional private plot of approximately 1.25 acres, this substantial executive residence extends to an impressive 2,250 sqft, enjoying an enviable position along Watton Road in the sought-after village of Shropham. Approached via an elegant carriage driveway, the property immediately commands attention with outstanding kerb appeal, mature grounds and a level of privacy rarely available.

The accommodation has been thoughtfully designed to offer both generous family living and exceptional versatility. The welcoming reception hall leads to an impressive 18'3 lounge, where a feature log burner provides a warm and inviting focal point. Complementing the principal reception room is a separate 13'9 dining room, a further 13'2 sitting room, a well-appointed fitted kitchen and a dedicated utility room.

One of the true highlights of the home is the magnificent 19'1 conservatory, enjoying panoramic views across the beautifully maintained gardens and creating a wonderful space for entertaining or simply relaxing whilst taking in the surrounding grounds.

The ground floor is further enhanced by a substantial 21'3 multi-purpose room complete with its own shower room, offering excellent potential as an annexe, guest accommodation, home office or games room.

Upstairs, the principal bedroom benefits from a luxurious four-piece en suite complete with a corner bath, whilst two further generously proportioned bedrooms are served by a contemporary family shower room.

Externally, the grounds are simply outstanding. Extending to approximately 1.25 acres, the gardens offer an exceptional degree of privacy alongside extensive lawns, mature planting and numerous areas to enjoy the peaceful surroundings. A further detached building provides outstanding annexe potential, already incorporating a kitchen, lounge, bedroom and shower room, making it ideal for multi-generational living, independent family members or those working from home.
Adding to the property's unique appeal is a fully operational sauna, providing a wonderful lifestyle feature rarely found within residential homes.

Combining substantial accommodation, outstanding versatility, beautiful grounds and a prestigious village setting, this exceptional home presents a rare opportunity to acquire one of Shropham's most distinctive residences.
