This villa, in its present form, represents several decades of work to sympathetically extend and develop the original two storey house which dates from around 1900. The works have retained and complemented the original period features. Both externally and internally the house has unusual character and charm and offers extensive accommodation within a traditional design. The house is extremely well appointed and has been thoughtfully laid out and developed to provide outstanding character combined with modern comforts. Natural light floods most parts of the house and the rooms are of generous proportions with many having double or triple windows.
The mature landscaped gardens are a delight and include undulating lawns, woodland, herbaceous and flower borders, and a feature ornamental pond and adjacent decking. The grounds are home to a huge variety of plant life and the house and gardens are heavily screened by the established woodlands providing significant privacy. There are a wealth of specimen trees including silver birch, Scots pine, fir, spruce, oak, yew, rowan and aspen.
Accommodation
The property is a well maintained and generously proportioned home which has retained the features expected in a house of this period. The extension and development works have complemented the original character including slate roofs and cast-iron guttering externally, and internally ornate cornicing, glazed doors, wooden flooring, quarry tiled floors, panelled ceilings, feature grilled panels covering the radiators, brass fittings, open fireplaces and roll top baths. Superb interior design and craftsmanship is evident with many bespoke finishes including two memorable rooms due to their striking fabric wall coverings.
The original part of the house, to the front, opens to the conservatory, then through to the formal sitting/dining room which has an open gas fire, and French doors to the garden. Off the entrance hallway is one of two WCs. An inner hallway has floor to ceiling windows and the principal staircase rises from here. This staircase has a carved handrail and balustrade and a half landing with an arched window.
A spacious, fully fitted breakfasting kitchen has an extensive range of traditional kitchen units in Douglas Fir with granite worktops and a central island unit with an oak work surface. There is a Belfast-style sink and the integrated appliances include a fridge freezer and a dishwasher. A pantry recess has matching traditional units in Douglas Fir and incorporates an electric oven and grill, secondary fitted fridge, a Belfast-style sink and granite work tops.
The breakfasting area sits adjacent to a large picture window overlooking garden, opening through to a morning room which has a brick fireplace with a multi-fuel stove and a flagstone hearth with timber mantelpiece. Double doors open out to the garden.
From the rear hallway, one of the en suite double bedrooms is located on the ground floor and it has doors opening to the garden.
This hallway has a main entrance door from the front courtyard, the second staircase, a further WC, a utility room and access through to the double garage.
At first floor level the garden room, with windows to the west and north, and the adjacent balcony and reading room provide relaxing areas to take in the wonderful views over the gardens and the surrounding countryside.
All of the large double bedrooms on the upper floor are en suite, and there is a separate sauna.

Each reading is based on the highest predicted speed of any major broadband network for services that deliver the download speeds. The following are the different readings that we may display:
Basic: Up to 30 Mbit/s
Super-fast: Between 30 Mbit/s and 300 Mbit/s
Ultra-fast: Over 300 Mbit/s
The data is updated three times a year. The checker results are predictions and should not be regarded as guaranteed. For more information, see: https://checker.ofcom.org.uk/en-gb/about-checker#Answer_0_2
Mobile phone signal availability and predicted strength
Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:
Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
Enhanced: Full bars, likely to have good coverage indoors and to receive an enhanced data rate to support multimedia services
