Our clients have owned the house for over 40 years and prior to that, it was owned by the village doctor, who held his surgeries in the house. It is therefore only available for the second time in close to 90 years.
The house has retained all the hallmarks of its era with wonderfully lofty ceilings, working fireplaces, a substantial staircase up to the second floor, old brick and ornate tiled floors and a cellar. Whilst our clients have made additions and alterations to the house, it now offers an incoming buyer the opportunity to adapt it to their requirements.
Integral to the house is a double garage. There is also a former coal store, three stores on the lower southern side, which were formerly used to house the pony and trap, a garden shed and a greenhouse.
Rooks Hill is approached into a paved driveway with an electric gate, which extends up to a substantial gravelled driveway to the back of the house and garage.
To the front, the boundaries are defined by low decorative walls, with an expanse of lawn, with well stocked flower and shrub borders. There is also, discretely tucked away, an ironstone footpath leading down to the road.
To the rear, the gardens extend up to the tennis court with a series of levels of lawned areas, interspersed with extensive and mature trees and shrubs including azaleas, rhododendrons, cistus, deutzia and magnolia, providing an array of colour through the seasons. Tucked in one corner is the fruit/ vegetable garden and a garden store.
Tenure: Freehold
Services: We are advised by our clients that the property has mains water, electricity and drainage and gas central heating.

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
