Description
This highly individual home effortlessly marries traditional village charm with smart, considered modern design. From the moment you step into the wide entrance hall, there’s a sense of space and light, with natural flow and proportion throughout. A ground floor cloakroom and generous storage cupboard are neatly tucked away, while to the front, the dual-aspect sitting room is a welcoming space, filled with light and garden views — perfect for quieter moments or entertaining guests. Opposite, a well-appointed study offers a calm and practical workspace, complete with bespoke shelving and desk, ideal for those working from home.
But it’s the rear of the house that truly impresses. A stunning, split-level open-plan living area stretches across the back of the home, incorporating a stylish kitchen, generous dining zone and informal snug. The kitchen itself is beautifully appointed with an extensive range of cabinetry, expansive worktops and a breakfast bar for casual meals or coffee mornings. There’s space for a large range cooker, American-style fridge/freezer and other standalone appliances — ideal for those who love to cook or entertain. The dining area opens via full-width bi-folding doors to the garden terrace, creating a wonderful connection to the outdoors and turning summer lunches into effortless alfresco gatherings.
A few steps lead up to a second sitting room — a more intimate retreat anchored by a wood-burning stove, adding a sense of warmth and character. Whether hosting friends, enjoying a family movie night, or simply unwinding by the fire, the space adapts with ease.
Upstairs, the principal bedroom is a sanctuary in itself — vaulted ceilings and striking feature windows frame views over the landscaped garden and open meadowland beyond. Built-in wardrobes offer discreet storage, while the en suite shower room adds comfort and luxury.
Three further bedrooms, all generously sized doubles, provide space for family and guests, served by a contemporary family bathroom and a separate shower room, both finished to a high standard.
The Annexe
The annexe is cleverly designed to offer independence while still being connected to the main house. It has its own front entrance, which opens into a large utility/boot room with built-in storage and access to the garage/workshop. A private staircase leads up to the first-floor annexe itself — comprising a fitted kitchen with skylight, comfortable sitting room with French doors onto a rear deck, double bedroom with built-in wardrobes, and a modern shower room. Currently used as an AirBnB, this space offers excellent income potential or an ideal setup for guests, extended family or home working.
Outside
The Pightle sits on a generous and beautifully tended plot of around one-third of an acre. The rear garden enjoys a peaceful, open aspect with views across the neighbouring Priors Hall Farm meadow. A large paved terrace provides the perfect setting for summer dining, with steps leading up to a lawned garden framed by mature trees, shrubs and herbaceous borders. There’s also a decked terrace accessed directly from the annexe, offering further space to relax.
To the front, a landscaped garden with lawn, flowerbeds and paved paths creates a welcoming first impression, while the private driveway provides ample parking and leads to the garage/workshop — fully fitted with work benches, power and lighting.
