Seamlessly blending character and charm with modern luxury, Framingham House enjoys versatile accommodation spread across three floors and enclosed, mature gardens.
The entrance to the house is a stunning, three-storey glazed reception hall with a handcrafted, staircase with black railing.
Glazed doors open into the heart of Framingham House – an open-plan kitchen, dining and living area with large bi-fold doors connecting the space with the rear gardens.
The bespoke Kestrel kitchen comes kitted out with sleek, white units and a large, matching central island, as well as high-spec appliances including two Siemens ovens, an integrated Bosch larder fridge and freezer, and dual-zone wine storage. This area also has access to a convenient utility room with outside access, which provides extra storage and work space.
Elsewhere in the room, a stylish inset fireplace with space for a wall-mounted TV above offers an ideal spot for more casual seating. This is open to a ‘garden room’ area which is glazed on all sides and flawlessly merges the outside with the inside.
Completing the ground floor is a light and airy triple-aspect sitting room with a fireplace, a large study – open to the reception hall – and a downstairs cloakroom.
The property’s seven bedrooms are arranged across the first and second floors and are all generously sized doubles.
The principal bedroom is described by Brown&Co as “a luxurious retreat”, showcasing a four-piece en-suite bathroom with marble-style tiling, a freestanding slipper bath, his and hers vanity sinks and a contemporary shower cubicle.
There are three additional bedrooms on the first floor, one of which benefits from an en-suite shower room and a built-in wardrobe. There is also a large family bathroom with a bath, shower, wash basin and WC.
The final three bedrooms are located on the second floor, along with a shared shower room. The largest of the rooms could be adapted for a number of other uses if desired and has been pre-wired for a projector – perfect for someone who dreams of having a home cinema.
Another of the second-floor bedrooms boasts a walk-in wardrobe.
Outside, Framingham House is set back from the road and is screened by mature trees. The property is accessed via electric double gates which are linked to an intercom camera system that can be controlled from each floor of the house.
A long, sweeping driveway leads to a detached double garage with twin electric roller doors, offering secure, off-road parking.
The property’s private front garden is well-established and mostly laid to lawn, and the south-facing rear garden is also lawned with a circular patio area abutting the house providing a sunny spot for relaxing and socialising outdoors.
The sprawling space is enclosed by close boarded fencing and surrounded by greenery to create a secluded and serene external living area.
Prospective buyers should be aware that Brown&Co has said that planning has been granted for four luxury homes on neighbouring land.
