Description
Rare to the market, The White House is an exceptional 5 Bedroom Detached family home occupying an impressive 4 Acre plot, inclusive of a delightful 1 Bedroom Detached Cottage born from a charming stable conversion, with the addition of a barn holding a wealth of possibilities. The White House is steeped in local history with a dwelling on the land dating back over 300 years, privately nestled along a discreet country lane within the medieval village of Sheraton, opposite a scheduled monument. The incredible 4 acre plot enjoys stunning panoramic views across the open rolling fields to the sea beyond courtesy of an elevated position, which can be enjoyed from the comfort of the Master Suite Juliet balcony or the landscaped gardens and paddocks. The main palatial residence is a luxury dwelling delivering in excess of 4,000sq ft of living space, extremely well finished throughout with a sense of country grandeur, celebrating the historical charm and original features with a contemporary 21st Century feel. The property is extremely energy efficient with heat source pumps providing all of the heating and hot water, with the addition of 16 solar panels on the roof of the front elevation generating power of approx. £2,500 per annum, along with a natural spring water well to the rear. The main residence achieved an impressive EPC rating of A as a result.
The detached cottage has been previously utilised as an AirB&B generating a generous annual rental income. The cottage is also ideally suited as accommodation for elderly relatives, growing independent children, nanny, guest accommodation or an office / studio for those wishing to operate a business. The adjacent barn is holds great potential for conversion into another generous residential dwelling, event space, workshop, multicar garage or stables.
The discreet country lane only services three residential dwellings, located just off the A19, ideal for those seeking rural luxury with the convenience of a rapid commute, with the Whitehouse being the last residence along the lane. As you approach the property, you’re greeted by a driveway leading up to grand electric gated entrance with intercom to greet your guests, with an extensive imprint courtyard driveway beyond, befitting of this impressive family residence. A series of external CCTV camera’s monitor the property 360 degrees for peace of mind.
The Whitehouse proudly sits to the rear of the courtyard driveway with an impressive footprint. The front elevation is double front, finished in a pale cream render with a large reception porchway centrally located with oversized double doors. The porchway is half glazed with an apex roof, stonework sills and a feature tiled floor. Beyond the hallway you’re welcomed into a spacious reception hallway with beautiful Karndean flooring running underfoot, oak spindle staircase flowing up the wall to the right and handmade solid oak doors throughout. The property benefits from underfloor heating throughout the entire ground floor and a number of rooms on the first floor. The hallway is complimented by a guest washroom, to the rear of the stairs, fitted with a white bowl sink, wall mounted toilet and half height blue panelling.
A doorway to the right, as you enter, leads you through into a generously proportioned family room with a bespoke built-in media wall, feature slate fireplace, soft pale carpet and an additional entrance to the rear linking through to the back door and kitchen. The family room is illuminated by ceiling recessed spotlights of an evening.
Via half glazed double doors to the left of the hallway, you’ll discover a large living room with an incredible exposed brick inglenook fireplace, with a cosy multifuel stove within. A further set of half glazed oak doors connect the living room through to the dining room, creating a lovely open flowing family space. There’s a soft pale carpet within the living room, switching to wooden flooring within the dining room, helping to visually zone the space.
A secondary hallway space feeds the main reception hallway, dining room, kitchen & breakfast room and the utility & boot room to the rear.
