The Old Endeavour is a splendid semi-detached period home with five bedrooms and more than 3,000 square feet of characterful accommodation, set in a desirable position in the hamlet of Shatterling. The property features attractive cream rendered elevations outside, while inside there are well-proportioned reception rooms and a wealth of charming original features.

The main reception room is the L-shaped dining room and family room, which is part-carpeted and part exposed wooden floorboards. The family room has a wood-burning stove and space for a seating area, while the dining area offers space for a family dining table and has doors opening onto the rear garden. There is also a comfortable sitting room with wooden parquet flooring and a fireplace fitted with a log-burner, while the third reception room is currently used as a music room, but makes an ideal study or snug.

Towards the rear of the ground floor, the well-equipped kitchen has fitted units to base and wall level, wooden worktops, a split Butler sink and a range cooker, with the adjoining breakfast area providing space for informal dining. Double doors lead from the breakfast area to the sunny conservatory with its glass roof and panoramic windows overlooking the garden.

On the first floor, accessed via two separate staircases, there are five bedrooms, including two generous doubles at the front, one of which benefits from built-in wardrobes, while the other has an en suite shower room. At the rear there are a further three bedrooms, all of which are doubles, including one with an en suite bathroom. The first floor also has a family bathroom with a bathtub and a separate shower unit.

This property has 1.1 acres of land.

The entrance to the property is located just off Roman Road on Beaute Lane, where a five-bar wooden gate opens onto the driveway, providing plenty of parking space and access to the detached garage for further parking and storage/workshop space.

The garden is mostly to the rear and features paved terracing and pathways, a pergola providing shade for al fresco dining, an ornamental pond, a lawn and meadow area and borders of various shrubs, established hedgerows and flowering perennials. There is also a wealth of mature trees surrounding a small pond, an orchard and a vegetable garden with a greenhouse, a fruit cage and a polytunnel.
