Beautifully appointed listed home with outstanding rural views, a stunning landscaped garden, paddock with substantial outbuildings and planning for a detached annex and triple garage.

Description

Studleys is a wonderful, characterful home enjoying a wealth of period charm yet benefitting from large openings to outside allowing plenty of natural light to flood the main living spaces. The house has undergone extensive renovations by the current owners during their ownership whilst also making the most of the delightful location, where fine, long distance countryside views can be had.

A pretty garden path leads to the front door and into the entrance hall which sets the tone for things to come with exposed beams and tiled floor - perfect for welcoming guests. Arguably the most impressive feature to Studleys is the wonderful kitchen breakfast room which leads beautifully into the dining room, the latter with two sets of bi-fold doors that opens out onto the outside terraces. The kitchen itself is centered around an island alongside an AGA and there is an extensive range of sold wood units. The double Belfast sink is superbly placed in front of the bespoke bi-fold window framing the delightful views. Adjacent to the kitchen is the useful prep kitchen, utility room and cloakroom.

The free flowing and sociable accommodation continues through the ground floor with an attractive sitting room housing a wood burning stove and a study, again with bi-fold doors leading outside. The study benefits from a vaulted ceiling, a pretty view over the garden and exposed beams. Further accommodation on the ground floor includes a cozy snug with an exposed stone all and striking Inglnook fireplace.

Stairs rise to the first floor to a bright and airy landing, where there is space for a sofa or study area if desired. In total there are four bedrooms (one en suite) and a family bathroom. The principal bedroom benefits from a dressing room and modern en suite bathroom with separate bath.

GAERDENS AND GROUNDS
Outside doesn't disappoint with attractive landscaped gardens, in particular the wonderful pond brining an abundance of wildlife. There are numerous terraces placed to enjoy the sun and views alongside a lawn and established trees/shrubs. Towards the eastern boundary there is a productive garden with raised beds and fruit cages. There is an area of hard standing which enjoys a separate access, this particular area benefits from approved planning for a detached annex and a detached car port. Further information and drawings are available upon request.

Located on the opposite side of the quite country land is two substantial outbuildings totaling just under 2000 sq ft. These include workshops, garaging, a gym and a studio. There is also plenty of space for ample parking. Land adjoins this area and totals about 1.22 acre. Currently the land is split into three paddocks with post and rail fencing where the current owners have previously had horses, sheep and chickens.

Beyond the paddock is a further 4.8 acres which is available by separate negotiations. Currently a wild meadow with path's meandering through this area is particularly special and benefits from separate road access and a detached stable block.
