Hatchet Lane, Stonely, PE19

The present owners have carefully extended remodelled, enhanced and upgraded this fine village residence to create an attractive, bespoke family home with a wonderfully spacious and light interior, occupying a delightfully secluded position in one of the area’s most sought-after locations.

The property provides exceptionally versatile accommodation of undoubted quality that will satisfy the most demanding and discerning home buyer, whether searching for accommodation for their extended family, wonderful entertaining space and facilities for frequent guests, along with ample provision for hobbies and homeworking.

The well-planned layout extends to over 4,800 square feet and is appealing arranged with a welcoming central reception hall, which features a guest cloakroom, and provides access to the two wings which separate the living and bedroom areas.

Conceived and designed with leisure in mind, the property features both indoor and outdoor facilities including a cinema room, indoor heated pool, spa and hot tub.

In brief, the adaptable accommodation offers five reception rooms and six bedrooms – each with its own bath/shower room - including the generous principal suite with dressing room and full bathroom. There is also an additional attached but separately configured guest suite.

Approached via electric gates, the delightful gardens and grounds extend to around an acre, with garaging for several vehicles along with workshop space.

The adaptable layout could be easily converted to provide a separate one-bedroom annexe for a dependent relative. The integral garage could also be incorporated into additional living space if required (subject to building regulation approval).

Accommodation in Brief
