Description
Occupying a semi-rural setting, surrounded by countryside yet conveniently positioned just a little over a mile away from the heart of Finchingfield village, this charming detached property is full of charm and character. Foulslough is listed as Grade II and occupies a plot of about 1.25 acres, incorporating a detached one bedroom annexe within the garden. The main property offers four bedrooms to the first floor with generous reception space below including a modern kitchen/breakfast room.
The entrance hallway includes a cloakroom and the principle reception room is located to the right of the house. This room has a triple aspect, providing wonderful views over the surrounding countryside. It also enjoys an Inglenook fireplace and a wealth of exposed beams. Adjacent is a study and also off the hallway is a bathroom featuring a freestanding bath. The kitchen is bespoke in its design, comprising Shaker-style units and featuring a four-oven Aga. This area flows into a breakfast space with a front-facing view. The second reception room is heavily glazed on three sides and expands the possibilities for both entertainment and family living. A door from here opens out to the garden.
A central staircase leads to a landing that provides access to four double bedrooms, one of which has a redbrick fireplace. There is a separate family bathroom with slipper bath.
Annexe
A paved pathway leads to a detached thatched annexe providing two levels of accommodation comprising a reception area, a kitchen/breakfast room equipped with modern appliances, a bathroom and a bedroom on the first floor. This provides an ideal space for extended family members or an additional income generation. Independent services are connected to the annexe.
A gated drive provides parking for several vehicles, complemented by a separate double-bay cart lodge. The gardens and grounds are mainly to the north of the house and are established with flowers, trees and shrubs providing all-year-round interest and colour. There is an expanse of lawn, cobblestone walkways, a feature pond and a charming timber gazebo. There is a generously-sized garden shed/workshop complete with a machinery storage area.
