Shortheath House is one of the most beautiful detached houses in the area and is set within generous private gardens.

The accommodation totals over 3,000 square feet and the rooms are light and well-proportioned. This generous home is well appointed and has been sensitively improved over recent years whilst still retaining all of the inherent character of the original house with elevations of local stone and exposed beams.

The ground floor comprises large farmhouse kitchen/breakfast room with a dual plate electric Aga and stone work surfaces, adjoining pantry and utility room, sitting room with Inglenook fireplace with a wood burning stove, family room with door to courtyard, further reception room/study, downstairs shower room.

Upstairs there is a principal bedroom suite with en suite shower room, four further bedrooms, separate family bathroom. Also, there is a very useful studio space (which together with the garage and workshop) could potentially be converted to create additional accommodation, if required and subject to any necessary consents. Importantly, the efficiency of the property has been improved with double glazed windows.

Garden
The house stands within attractive landscaped grounds providing a beautiful setting with areas of lawn together with established wisteria and a variety of young and mature trees. A paved terrace and perfectly positioned 'BBQ barn' is set to the rear and provides an ideal outside seating area with fine views towards the common. Access to the house is via a short unmade track to the integral double garage and workshop. There are areas of vegetable garden and a fruit cage to the front together with a timber shed.
