Description
Constructed in 2003, The Limes is a substantial classically designed house built of handmade Tudor style bricks imported especially from Belgium with lime mortar joints under a plain handmade clay tiled roof with re-constituted stone detailing.
The design is reminiscent of late Victorian/Edwardian architecture and particularly imposing and attractive. The house is positioned to take full advantage of the rolling countryside to the south and many of the main rooms enjoy delightful south facing aspects with distant views.
The accommodation (in the main house) extends to 3,912 sq ft and at ground floor level there is extensive solid oak flooring, a large main drawing room which inter-connects via double doors with the dining room and an Aga kitchen/breakfast room, family sitting room, utility and cloakroom.
At first floor level there are three en suite bedrooms including a principal with a dressing room and three further bedrooms and a family bathroom. This house benefits from two staircases and incorporates high levels of insulation, custom made joinery with double glazed Low E glass and beam and block construction to ground and first floors.
Outside there is a pleasant garden surrounding the house and access into further gardens with a paddock beyond to the south. There is a detached double garage, built in identical style and standard to the house, which has been finished to include space for an office/recreation room. The garage block is 924 sq ft.
In all the gardens with the house are around an acre in size and the paddock around an acre and a half.
In all 2.49 acres including one acre of gardens.
