A detached four bedroom Victorian property with summerhouse and pretty gardens in a semi-rural location.

Description

Dating back to the early 19th century and formally two farmer’s cottages, Poot House is a well presented detached Victorian property with later additions, set in pretty gardens of about 0.2 acres and nestled in a semi-rural setting in Wetham Green.

Retaining many period features including exposed timber beams and original fireplaces, Poot House is a fine example of a period property with a modern and contemporary twist with modern features including under floor heating to the majority of rooms.

On the ground floor are four well-proportioned reception rooms; a dual aspect sitting room and a snug with air conditioning unit and both rooms with wood burning stoves. A formal dining room with French doors out to the patio area, ideal for al fresco dining and to the north, a solid oak framed sun room with porcelain tiled flooring, a hot tub and views of the garden.

The kitchen/breakfast has a range of country style cupboards, complimented by wooden worktops, a range cooker, and space for various white goods including an American style fridge/freezer. A study room offers versatile accommodation which could be utilised as a ground floor bedroom four. A cloakroom concludes the ground floor accommodation.

On the first floor are three double bedrooms, all served by a stylishly appointed family bathroom with free standing bath tub, sleek glass framed rimless shower and underfloor heating.

Poot House is approached via a gated gravel driveway, providing parking for several cars and access to a single garage. Attractive, well established gardens with mixed hedging and fencing to the perimeter lie mainly to the side of the property. A summer house with light and power creates an idyllic home office/games room with views of the picturesque pond.
