The Grange is an elegant period property which has been sympathetically restored during the current owner's custodianship. The centre of the property dates to the 18th Century and is flanked by later, impressive Victorian additions. The beautifully proportioned rooms display a wealth of period features, many with delightful views over the grounds.

The entrance hall is flanked by a handsome study/sitting room, drawing room and dining hall, with two working fireplaces. The drawing room with log burning stove and French doors opening out to an ornamental pool and terraced area. Accessed through the dining hall is the large open plan kitchen dining/sitting room. The kitchen is beautifully finished with a range of bespoke units and large central island. There is a handsome Aga Range and other integrated appliances. The dining and sitting area have two accesses to the gardens and a wood burning stove to one end. Adjacent is a generous walk-in pantry and garden room.

There is planning permission granted for a south facing extension to the rear, providing an orangery style additional room using the existing garden room as a link. Planning reference: 21/00690/FUL. A boot room and W.C complete the ground floor accommodation. Stairs lead down into the cellars.

The first-floor accommodation consists of a beautiful principal bedroom with dressing room and en suite bathroom which occupies the eastern wing of the property and has delightful views over the gardens and grounds. A guest suite with dressing room and bathroom is found at the opposite end of the house, accessed via its own private staircase. There are three further double bedrooms (one with a dressing room), which serve from a large family bathroom.

Gardens, grounds and outbuildings

The Grange is surrounded by carefully designed and beautifully maintained landscaped gardens. The grounds are split into several defined areas providing picturesque walkways through the more formal spaces, along with practical elements such as a successful kitchen garden with greenhouse and potting shed. A grass tennis court is found to the west of the property, with a double garage, garden tool shed and woodshed nearby.

The gardens have been skilfully planned and designed. Beautifully stocked borders with shrubs and herbaceous plants, along with stunning perennial planting provides colour and interest for much of the year. Hard landscaping is provided in the form of paved terracing, strategically positioned for outside dining. There are a range of established fruit trees and planting on the boundaries, providing an excellent level of privacy. In all, the gardens and grounds extend to about 1.27 acres.
