Old Elbow

This impressive detached residence is tucked away along Exton Lane, in a quiet and well-established residential setting within the village, just a short stroll from the Puffing Billy and local train station. The house dates from the Victorian era and displays the generous proportions and high ceilings characteristic of the period. It has been significantly enhanced by a substantial contemporary addition, creating a striking full-height kitchen/breakfast/family room that forms the heart of the home.

A wealth of original features remain, including picture rails, decorative cornicing, and attractive fireplaces, seamlessly blending period charm with modern living. The result is an substantial and well presented home offering exceptionally spacious family accommodation.

From the entrance hall, a large drawing / sitting/ garden room provides a wonderful sense of flow, both reception rooms feature exposed floor boards and fireplaces with carved wooden surrounds. The drawing room benefits from French doors opening onto the terrace and gardens, while a wide opening leads through to a sitting room which in turn connects to the garden room—also with French doors to the outside.

Also accessed from the hall is the stunning open-plan kitchen/breakfast/family room. An exceptional space designed to maximise light and space. It features a glazed gable end with doors to the terrace and garden, roof lights and glazed panels, partially slate-paved flooring with under floor heating, a woodburner, and exposed roof timbers. The fully fitted kitchen area enjoys stone tiled flooring, connecting through to a large family room. Stairs give access from the family room to a basement gym.

An inner hall provides access to a study/playroom, pantry, utility room, and cloakroom. A rear door leads to a lobby with a door to the outside and access to a guest bedroom suite with its own bathroom.

On the first floor, the principal bedroom suite is a standout feature, with a bay window enjoying estuary views, French doors that open onto a balcony overlooking the gardens, providing far reaching views towards the estuary and an en suite bathroom as well as a dressing room with fitted wardrobes. From the landing, there is access to a roof terrace, along with three further bedrooms, two bathrooms, plus additional shower room.

Stairs lead up to a second floor where there is additional large bedroom and loft space including a shower and WC suitable for a multitude of uses.
Outside, the property is accessed via electric gates which open onto a wide driveway which provides ample parking and turning space, alongside a detached double garage. The kitchen/family room and living room both open onto a south-west facing stone terrace, ideal for entertaining, with steps leading down to an enclosed, level lawned garden. Within the grounds is an attractive garden room suitable for entertaining or home working.

To one side of the property lies a hard tennis court, while the gardens also feature a kidney-shaped heated saltwater swimming pool. The pool area is complemented by a generous teak sun deck, changing room, outside shower and a red cedar built-in hot tub.
