About this property

A substantial country residence boasting an abundance of character and space and occupying an elevated position, with grounds amounting to 0.6 of an acre, in this highly sought after village.

The original house was transformed by later additions yet retains the character and architectural style of its original parts. The current vendors have meticulously enhanced the property in recent years which includes a brand-new roof.

The arrangement and flow of the accommodation, which is south facing thus attracting a lot of sun, is a particular feature, with the majority of the rooms overlooking the beautiful gardens and undulating countryside beyond. The house works perfectly for family living and comprises a stunning and versatile dual aspect dining room as well as a lovely sitting room which opens through to a useful study/office. The well-appointed ‘L’ shaped kitchen sits to the rear of the home and boasts ample wall and base units as well as a walk-in larder and sliding doors leading out to the private gardens. A utility/boot room completes the ground floor. On the first floor there are four bedrooms serviced by two bathrooms and a separate w.c.

Outside
The gardens are a particular feature of the home, amounting to 0.6 of an acre. The home is positioned to the centre of the plot and boasts an elevated position, set back from the village road. The property is entered via a winding driveway, which meanders through the lower landscaped formal gardens, with mature tiered lawns interspersed with established colourful floral borders and specimen trees. Passing the neighbouring houses, the driveway then opens to the rear of the house, with parking for multiple vehicles and leads to the double garage. To the side of the home is a lovely, paved terrace, ideal for al-fresco dining and the perfect vantage point from which to enjoy and admire the gorgeous grounds and open aspect beyond. To the rear of the home lies the main area of gardens, beautifully organised into useable sections, and includes a bountiful vegetable garden with a greenhouse. Steps lead up to the top gardens that are predominantly laid to lawn with lush herbaceous borders, boasting awe-inspiring views across sweeping farmland and back to the house with its elevated position.

The nearby village of Porton has everyday facilities which include a convenience store and well-regarded primary school, doctor's surgery and public house.
