A substantial Edwardian house in a highly regarded village.


Description

Apple Tree House is currently a successful B&B, with eight guest rooms and separate owners’ quarters providing two further bedrooms at the rear of the property. The property is a fantastic example of Edwardian architecture having been built around 1908. The property retains many original features you would expect in a property of this era including feature fireplaces, bay and sash windows, high ceilings and decorative coving. A side entrance porch allows access into the welcoming hallway, which in turn leads on to the principal reception rooms and kitchen, which has been upgraded with modern cabinets and appliances. The living space has been extended by the erection of a conservatory. There are seven en suite guest bedrooms whilst bedroom eight has the use of a private shower room. There is also a single guest bedroom. The bedrooms are set over two-and-a-half floors.

The owners’ quarters share the kitchen of the B&B. However, there is space to add a kitchen and create an entirely separate annexe or utilise the annexe as a working space/office, should you wish (subject to the relevant planning consents). Currently the annexe offers two well-proportioned bedrooms, a sitting room, office/dining room, conservatory, bathroom and an outlook over the garden.

The garden is also extensive and is mainly laid to lawn, with a meadow grass area to attract wildlife, beds, borders and access to the side of the property. Parking is available for eight vehicles on the driveway
