About this property

Extended in 2007, this 5-bedroom property dates back to the beginning of the 20th century and retains original features as well as an abundance of charm. Gardens and plot in excess of 3/4 of an acre.

Located towards the end of a no-through lane, this house offers the opportunity to purchase a rural idyll equipped with the luxuries of 21st century living. The wide reception hall has limestone flooring and opens to the dual aspect sitting room which has bay windows, a wood-burning stove and original wooden flooring. The remaining reception rooms lie to the other side of the hall with a large kitchen/breakfast room adjacent to the dining room which has oak beams and a working fireplace. There is a 4-oven electric Aga in the contemporary kitchen, granite and oak work surfaces and French doors to the exterior. A wing towards the far end of the ground floor comprises a family room, study (with a built-in oak desk and shelving), utility room with ample storage and a boot room with external access. A walk-in pantry and a shower room complete the ground floor accommodation. Rising to the first floor, there are five bedrooms many of which have fitted wardrobes. Two bedrooms have en suite bath or shower rooms and there is also a family bathroom with a rolltop bath. The bedroom on the south-east corner offers uninterrupted views across the gardens and surrounding countryside.

Outside
The house is approached via a shingle driveway bordered by a tall hedge and there is parking space for numerous vehicles. The grounds and expansive gardens are a joy to behold. A honeysuckle-clad arch leads to an attractive dining area beyond which there is a formal parterre leading to the gardens proper. They are bordered by hedges and largely laid to lawn interspersed with flower beds. Towards the far end there are fruit trees whilst red and blackcurrants are grown on a raised bank to one side. A peaceful seating area completes the scene at the end of the gardens.
