Velley House is an utterly absorbing property. Steeped in period charm and history dating from we believe the early to mid 1600's, the double fronted property has character in abundance and is sold with no onward chain. The imposing entrance vestibule has a date from 1692 with doors into the main hallway. double fronted, the three reception rooms are on either side of the hallway and contain a mixture of panelled and exposed stone walls, built in bookshelves, fireplaces including a log burner, cornice, sash windows and window shutters. The garden room has a door to the beautiful walled garden. The kitchen is a bespoke Mark Wilkinson design made of solid beech with granite work tops. There is travertine flooring, a walk in larder and under stairs storage cupboard. There is a Rayburn range cooker for cooking and operating the central heating as well as an inner hallway to the large shower room, utility room and south facing bespoke conservatory with access and views of the entire gardens. To the first floor are the four bedrooms. Three of the bedrooms are double and located to the front with part exposed ceiling beams whilst the smaller bedroom/study is to the rear. A cloakroom and separate family shower completes the upstairs. Externally the property has stunning front and rear gardens, a labour of love for the current owner who has tended them for 52 years. The front is enclosed by a stone wall with feature box hedging, lawn and a path to the house and many established evergreen and perennial bushes and shrubs. The large and once again stunning rear gardens are enclosed by beautiful stone walling and laid mainly to lawn and feature stone chippings. Paths run to the gardens end, under the feature pergola and to the gate which leads to the parking and garage. In the wall is the old gardening privy, another fascinating feature. The gardens have always been beautifully maintained and are a major feature to this handsome and historically significant property.
