The Recess, 4, Ripley House, Ripley, GU23 6BE

Tucked away within a private courtyard in the heart of the Village of Ripley, this wonderful period property combines charm, space and a truly enviable setting.

The home is set back from the road, offering a sense of seclusion and calm, while boasting high ceilings throughout and beautifully proportioned rooms that are filled with natural light.

The welcoming entrance hall provides access to both reception rooms.

The bright and spacious sitting room is a standout feature, centred around a fireplace with a wood-burning stove and complemented by French doors that open directly onto the rear garden, seamlessly connecting indoor and outdoor living.

A door from the sitting room leads to the staircase rising to the first floor.

The dining room is equally light and airy, flowing through to the kitchen and adjoining utility room, making it ideal for both everyday living and entertaining.

Upstairs, the first floor offers three bedrooms and two bathrooms, both benefiting from underfloor heating.

The principal bedroom suite is particularly generous, featuring built-in storage and a Juliet balcony with French doors that enjoy far-reaching views over the rear garden and woodland beyond.

Outside, the property continues to impress. To the front there is ample parking and a garage.

The landscaped rear garden is of an exceptional size and provides a peaceful haven, alive with varied birdlife.

A charming brick pathway winds past a striking fountain to the rear of the garden, where a large outbuilding offers flexible use as a home office, studio or gym.

Beyond the garden lies exclusive access to woodland, perfectly suited to dog walking and nature lovers alike, along with a sole private plot of land within the woods-an increasingly rare and special feature that truly sets this property apart.
