4 bedroom detached house

An attractive and imposing 1920s Arts & Crafts style residence with much character and many period features throughout, which was extended in 2006 and now offers spacious family accommodation. The property is set within approximately two acres of gardens and paddocks, with stabling and makes an ideal equestrian property, in a wonderful rural setting.

An original solid oak door opens into a tiled porch which in turn leads into an entrance hallway with a corniced ceiling and a solid oak floor.

To the left is a spacious living room with leaded mullioned windows, cornice work, an impressive inglenook with an open fire and a distinctive brick built surround, set beneath a large oak bressumer and a lovely triple aspect.

To the right of the house is an interconnecting kitchen/breakfast room and family room. The kitchen/breakfast room offers a range of cream farmhouse style wall and base units set around solid oak work surfaces, with space for appliances and underfloor heating beneath natural slate tiles. French doors open onto a lovely Yorkstone patio area with views over the paddocks. The adjoining family room enjoys a dual aspect with views over the rear garden and also over the paddocks and farmland beyond.

On the first floor there is a light and airy landing which leads to four spacious bedrooms, a well appointed family bathroom and a recently fitted, stylish shower room with double shower and a modern combined vanity and wc. The bedrooms also all benefit from recently fitted acoustic double glazed windows.

OUTSIDE:

The property is approached via a five bar gate which opens onto a long driveway providing parking for numerous vehicles.
A meandering stone path leads towards the house through a beautifully planted front garden, whilst to the side of the house there is a detached brick built garage.

The rear garden is mainly laid to lawn with several mature trees, vegetable gardens and planted beds. There is a Yorkstone patio area to one side of the house whilst a covered veranda, enclosed by decorative brick arches, extends across the rear of the house.

The whole plot measures approx. 2 acres with the majority of the land divided into four good paddocks enclosed by post and rail fencing. There is an area of hard standing with a new stable block, built by Olson Timber in 2019.

The footprint remains for the original two box stable block and an adjoining hay store (now removed) which we understand would allow more outbuildings to be erected without further planning being required.
