Situated in a private secluded setting, just off the green of this highly regarded and picturesque village, Magnolia House is a beautifully presented and totally updated Victorian semi-detached house, built of traditional construction with red-brick elevations under a slate tiled roofline. The original corn mill dates back to around the 1830's, extended in the 1880s, then converted and divided into two residential areas in 25 years ago by local reputable craftsmen, creating a wonderful house of enormous character, style and space.

The property has been meticulously updated and redecorated throughout, cleverly blending the original fabric and character with contemporary nuances, extending to almost 2,300ft², arranged over three floors, providing well-proportioned accommodation with generous ceiling heights, as well as enjoying large amounts of natural light.

The ground floor comprises reception hall, with exposed red-brick walls and Travertine floors, a cloakroom and coat cupboard, a large 24' sitting room overlooking the south-facing walled garden, with oak flooring, fireplace housing an attractive gas-fired living flame stove. The kitchen is fitted with an extensive range of painted base and eye level units with solid wood worktops and inset ceramic sink with drainer, dishwasher, double oven and 5-ring gas hob. There is a wide opening from the kitchen to a snug/dining area with oak flooring and windows to the south.

There is a well-equipped utility room with further built-in storage, preparation worktop, sink unit and cupboard housing the pressurised water system.

On the first floor are two good-sized double bedrooms, both with their own built-in wardrobes and each with updated luxury en suites - one with painted tongue-and-groove panelling, large, tiled shower cubicle, traditional style wash basin and low-level WC, the second with a large walk-in shower cubicle, wash basin on oak stand and low-level WC.

On the second floor are two further large double bedrooms with built-in wardrobes, served by the principal bathroom which has been updated with a stylish modern white suite with large bath, separate double shower cubicle, wash hand basin on oak vanity stand and low-level WC.
