Discover Dingle House, a captivating detached stone property, approximately 200 years old, that has been extended and significantly enhanced with meticulous care and exceptional craftsmanship by its builder owner. Beautifully presented throughout to a very high specification, this characterful home seamlessly blends original features, such as exposed stonework and timber beams, with precision carpentry and high-end fixtures and fittings. Nestled within a private plot of around three-quarters of an acre, with a stream gently flowing along its boundary, Dingle House offers a tranquil and idyllic retreat, approached via a long private track leading to ample parking, garaging, and stunning views from the moment you arrive.
The approach to Dingle House is truly spectacular. From the quiet village lane, a long private track guides you towards impressive brick pillars, marking the entrance to your secluded domain. Crossing a charming timber vehicle bridge over the gently flowing stream, a curved gravel driveway unfolds, revealing breath-taking views of the beautifully raised garden ahead and the picturesque stone house nestled to the left. This enchanting entrance sets the tone for the quality and character that awaits within.
Stepping inside through the practical Utility/Boot Room, you are immediately greeted by a thoughtfully designed built-in unit, offering convenient storage for shoes and muddy boots below, with hooks for coats above. This seamlessly transitions to the utility area, featuring elegant sage green shaker-style floor storage cupboards, a classic Belfast sink with a mixer tap, durable oak work surfaces, and dedicated space for a washing machine. Straight ahead, a newly fitted downstairs Cloakroom provides modern convenience with a WC.
A door from the utility room opens into the impressive Open Plan Kitchen/Dining Room, a light-filled space brimming with immense character. A striking exposed stone inglenook fireplace, complete with a substantial oak beam, provides a focal point with ample space for a freestanding traditional cooker. Exposed timber beams overhead and charming quarry tile flooring further enhance the room's character. Cleverly dividing the kitchen from the dining area are waist-height storage units, featuring exposed brick to the sides and rear, with original timber beams reaching to the ceiling, creating a sense of separation while maintaining light and an open flow. Two large windows overlook the front garden, flooding the space with natural light. The well-appointed kitchen area features sleek granite work surfaces and integrated high-end appliances, including an electric double oven, induction hob, dishwasher, and fridge. Moving through the opening, the Dining Area comfortably accommodates a table and chairs for eight, boasting an exposed stone wall and a UPVC glazed door that provides direct access to the front garden.
A door from the kitchen leads into the spacious Living Room, a welcoming and relaxing space. The focal point here is a striking stone chimney breast, housing a Clearview stove with a timber surround, perfect for cosy evenings. Double doors provide a seamless transition to the front garden, extending the living space outdoors. Dual aspect windows beautifully frame views of the garden from two different perspectives, while warm wooden flooring adds to the room's inviting ambiance. A bespoke timber turn staircase gracefully ascends from the living room to the first floor.
Following the bespoke staircase to the first floor, you will find three well-proportioned double bedrooms, each with its own unique charm. The Master Bedroom is a newly extended sanctuary, thoughtfully designed with one wall showcasing original exposed wall beams and another featuring exposed stonework, a beautiful blend of old and new. A dedicated dressing area provides ample built-in clothes storage and hanging rails, leading to a newly fitted en-suite shower room, featuring cream tiled floors and walls, a luxurious walk-in shower with a rainfall head, a contemporary WC, and a stylish hand basin.
Bedroom 2 is a particularly spacious double room, boasting two double fitted wardrobes, an impressive exposed stone wall, and dual aspect windows that offer picturesque views over the grounds and the gently flowing stream. This bedroom also benefits from its own en-suite shower room, complete with a shower cubicle, WC, and hand basin.
Bedroom 3 is another comfortable double room, retaining character with its charming exposed wall beams.
The Landing is spacious and features a characterful stone wall. Off the landing, a convenient space serves as a useful office area, with a door leading to the airing cupboard housing the water tank.
Completing the first floor is the Family Bathroom, which presents an exciting opportunity for the new owner to modernise and create their ideal space. It currently comprises a panelled bath with an electric shower over and a glass panel, a WC, a hand basin, a heated towel rail, and a practical storage cupboard. A Velux window provides natural light.
Dingle House is nestled within approximately three-quarters of an acre, a captivating landscape offering a multitude of distinct areas and sections to explore and enjoy. To one side of the property lies the formal garden, a meticulously maintained space featuring manicured lawns and deep, well-stocked flower beds, creating a vibrant display of colour and texture. Pretty stone walls, interspersed with charming paths and steps, add architectural interest and lead you through this elegant area. An elevated timber-framed greenhouse provides an ideal environment for nurturing your own harvest. Adjacent to this are thoughtfully designed raised vegetable beds, perfect for cultivating fresh produce.
On the other side of the sweeping gravel driveway, the land gently slopes down to the low-lying stream, its gentle flow creating a soothing ambiance. Paths meander along both banks, inviting leisurely strolls alongside the water. One side offers a naturally shaded walkway beneath mature trees, while the other provides a paved walkway with strategically placed seating areas, perfect for quiet contemplation by the stream. A charming bridge, positioned opposite Dingle House, also features a beautifully designed seating area constructed from brick and paving, offering a unique vantage point to appreciate the house and its surroundings.
Practical outdoor amenities include a substantial carport, providing covered parking for two vehicles. A detached timber-clad building offers the convenience of both a secure garage and a dedicated workshop space, catering to hobbies and storage needs.
