Elegant country residence within a rural setting on the fringes of Sandford

An elegant and substantial detached period residence, Appleton House occupies a wonderful position within the highly regarded village of Sandford and offers a rare combination of character, space and versatility. Believed to date from the late Victorian period, this handsome family home has been sympathetically improved over the years, retaining a wealth of charm and original detail while providing beautifully balanced accommodation suited to modern living. Arranged across three floors, the main house is entered via a welcoming hallway and boot room, with a cloakroom positioned conveniently nearby. The ground floor offers a superb selection of reception space, ideal for family life and entertaining alike. The principal sitting room is a particularly inviting room, enhanced by wooden flooring, attractive proportions and a striking double-sided fireplace with log burning stove, which also serves the adjoining dining room with orangery style lantern light window. This wonderful dining room enjoys an abundance of natural light, with windows enjoying views across the grounds and garden. The kitchen breakfast room sits at the heart of the home and is fitted with a range of traditional hand-built timber cabinets, creating a warm and timeless country house feel. A useful utility room provides further practicality, while an additional study or snug offers flexibility as a home office, playroom or quiet retreat. The first floor provides three generous double bedrooms, including a delightful principal bedroom suite with en-suite shower room, alongside a stylish family bathroom with freestanding bath and separate shower. The second floor offers a further room, currently arranged as the fourth double bedroom, with eaves storage and charming views over the surrounding countryside.

The setting is one of the true highlights of Appleton House, with the property standing proudly within beautifully landscaped grounds in excess of half an acre. A sweeping driveway provides ample off street parking and creates a fitting approach to the house, while the gardens wrap naturally around the home and enjoy a lovely sense of maturity and privacy. Expanses of lawn are complemented by established planting, fruit trees, well stocked borders and a raised terrace, ideal for outdoor dining and entertaining during the warmer months. To the rear, a characterful covered porch with decorative ironwork provides a sheltered seating area, perfectly placed to enjoy the garden and rural outlook. The detached one-bedroom annexe is a superb addition, offering independent accommodation for relatives, guests or potential income use, with its own sitting room, kitchen, bedroom and shower room. Further outbuildings and workshop spaces provide excellent scope for those requiring storage, hobbies, studio space, a gym or further home working facilities, making the property as practical as it is attractive.
