5 bedroom house for sale

The property is a spacious wing of a country house in a pretty, rural location in the parish of Froxfield. With brick, flint and pebbledash elevations under a tiled roof, the main accommodation is over two floors, plus there's a cellar. The layout can be seen in the floorplan but of particular note is the tremendous light filled drawing room with a feature fireplace and bay window overlooking and door leading to the garden. Within the kitchen is enough room to house a good-sized breakfast table and there's an opening to the large sitting room. The dining hall has a woodburner and a lovely solid wood floor. From the hall, stairs rise to the first floor landing off which are five bedrooms and a family shower room with a separate WC. One of the bedrooms has its own shower. Outside, the house is approached by a drive with parking for a number of cars leading to a concealed double garage. The gardens are mainly laid to lawn with a variety of mature shrubs and hedging. The grounds continue the other side of a neighbouring property's drive to an expanse of lawn which we believe was once a tennis court and croquet lawn, harking back to the days when it was a single country house. In all, the gardens and grounds amass to approximately 1.99 acres. Whilst the house has been loved over the years, it would now benefit from general updating throughout.
