Description
Approached off an exceptionally quiet country lane via a gated entrance, this utterly charming Victorian home is set high on the hillside commanding exceptional far reaching views. The driveway provides off road parking for three cars in addition to the substantial detached barn offering secure spaces for two further cars and terrific storage. From the driveway a pretty pathway, bordered by a colourful raised Mediterranean style garden, leads to a flagstone terrace immediately to the front of the property. The house enjoys a superb southerly elevation with panoramic views over trees and farmland to the wooded hillside beyond. The grounds that surround the house are truly a gardeners paradise and have been loving tended and extensively planted during the current owners twenty six year tenure. Productive fruit and vegetable areas lie to the rear of the property beneath a backdrop of attractive stone walling providing a sense of shelter and enclosure to this lovely area. A neatly shaped and predominantly level lawn is surrounded by a magnificent array of trees, shrubs and flowers that include scented Choisya, Roses, Daphne, and well established evergreen shrubs. A dedicated composting area is neatly tucked away out of site in the top corner. A wonderful Magnolia tree lies adjacent to an area for outdoor dining and the terrace that extends to the front of the property leads down via five easy steps to two further tiers of lawn and flower borders. The pathway continues to the rear of the barn of which the first floor of one half of the building has been converted to a games room or if preferred, a superb home office for those that now work from home. Without doubt, the gardens are a truly special feature of the home.
An attractive canopied porch lies to the front of the property but on a day to day basis, the home is accessed via a more recently added side entrance with a substantial Oak door leading into the first of the three reception rooms. Within this room is a decorative cast iron fireplace with alcove cupboards to either side and double doors opening to the front terrace. The kitchen features solid hand painted units by Brookman’s with granite work surfaces and integrated Bosch and Neff appliances and with a cupboard also housing the Worcester oil fired heating boiler. The adjoining dining room overlooks the courtyard to the rear and leads through to a very good sized drawing room which is bathed in natural sunlight. To one end of the room is a most attractive working fireplace with a quarry tiled hearth and a pair of window seats built into the deep reveals with far reaching views beyond. A useful utility room has been added to the rear with plumbing for washing machine and space for separate tumble dryer and a doorway leads directly to the rear garden with a shelved potting shed for storage and shelter for over wintering plants. There is also a shower room and cloakroom at ground floor level. On the first floor there are four bedrooms in total, three of which are of a good double size and the fourth currently being utilised as a study. The home offers a good deal of storage throughout with wardrobes in all. There is a large walk-in wardrobe set off the landing with good attic storage above. The family bathroom is neatly appointed with a Victorian style four piece suite with three standing bath with ball and claw feet. At not insignificant expense, all the windows in the property have been replaced by bespoke double glazed timber units, including the most recently added double doors in the entrance reception.
