A stunning period home with annex at the heart of the village. Offering substantial reception areas with a wonderful aspect over landscaped gardens and a heated swimming pool to the rear.

Description

This delightful period home has much original character and is Grade II listed. Sensitively modernised over the years there are modern electrics and heating, with the open plan family kitchen area offering a large Aga range style cooker.

The dining hall is the centre of the home with a large open stock brick inglenook fireplace and a door opening onto the gardens. There is a snug sitting room just off here - with a more formal drawing room and study with Neville Johnson fitted units to the rear.

The kitchen is a cosy space with a generous dining area, fitted cupboards and island unit next to the Aga. This leads via a garden room to the side lobby and hall which is the everyday entrance to the house. Here you find a utility, boot room and guest WC. The annex is at the end of the hall with two rooms and a shower room.

Moving upstairs, there is a further guest cloakroom on the half landing, with four bedrooms on the first floor - two of these with en suites and the others sharing a family bathroom.

On the top floor are two further bedrooms, one of which has a full en suite bathroom. There are nice views from here across the village.

The cellars can be accessed off the kitchen. There are series of rooms here, with a boiler room and wine store.

Outside, the house sits in around 0.9 acres of landscaped gardens. A terrace wraps around the back of the house with steps leading up to formal lawns with flower and shrub borders, a vegetable patch and the swimming pool which sits in a private, partly walled courtyard. There are gates to either side of the house with one set giving vehicular access to a double bay cart lodge, single garage with parking in front.
A studio / home office nestles just off the driveway.
