Extending to over 6,000 sq ft of versatile accommodation, Milford House is a substantial and carefully evolved country home offering a rare combination of space, flexibility and privacy. The property has been extended over time to create a well-balanced layout, complemented by a self-contained two-bedroom annexe and an extensive range of high-quality outbuildings. Together, these elements provide a highly adaptable environment suited to modern family life, multi-generational living or home-based business use. The house is approached through gates opening onto a wide sweeping driveway, providing generous parking and turning space. The property is entered via a welcoming front door into a bright entrance hall, where there is a conveniently positioned WC. From here, the accommodation flows effortlessly; to the right is a charming snug, complete with a useful pantry, which in turn opens into the impressive kitchen/breakfast room. This well-appointed space features fitted units, an AGA, integrated appliances and ample room for informal dining, making it very much the heart of the home. From the kitchen, a door and a step down lead into the characterful sitting room. This inviting space centres around an impressive brick inglenook fireplace, complemented by two striking stained glass windows and space for a woodburning stove. With oak flooring underfoot and doors opening out to the garden, this room perfectly blends period charm with everyday comfort. The sitting room connects through to the main entrance hall and principal staircase, from which the formal drawing room can be accessed. This is a generous L-shaped room, featuring a handsome stone inglenook fireplace with woodburning stove, and providing an elegant setting for both entertaining and relaxation. Adjoining is a delightful garden room, enjoying views over the grounds and direct access outside. The principal bedroom suite is approached via a secondary staircase within the more modern wing of the house, offering a sense of privacy and separation. This superb suite comprises a spacious bedroom, dual walk-in wardrobes, and a well-appointed en suite bathroom with separate bath and shower. The main staircase rises to the original part of the house, where the remaining bedrooms are located. These include a spacious double bedroom with fitted wardrobes to two sides, an en suite shower room, and a bay window enjoying attractive views across the surrounding fields. A landing leads to bedroom three, which is arranged with a study area, dressing room and sleeping space, also benefitting from a charming bay window. Further accommodation includes a shared bathroom with shower, a generous double bedroom with built-in wardrobes and a study/play area, an airing cupboard, and an additional double bedroom with built-in mirrored wardrobes, enjoying a dual aspect. The property offers highly flexible accommodation, well suited to family living or multigenerational use. A particular feature of the house is the integral access to a substantial garage with sliding doors, providing space for two vehicles. This area also incorporates a laundry room, utility space and built-in cupboards. Beyond lies an enclosed walkway, which leads to a home office. There is an additional utility room fitted with units and a sink—ideal for creative or practical pursuits and a staircase rises to a further sewing and craft room with ample storage, along with a snug seating area offering potential to extend or open into adjoining space. The office itself enjoys wonderful views over the surrounding fields and benefits from an abundance of natural light, alongside a characterful brick inglenook fireplace with woodburning stove, creating an inspiring and productive working environment.
