From Moor Lane, nestled in an arched hedgerow, a wrought iron gate opens onto a flagged garden path which invites you through neat lawned gardens and onwards to a wonderful decoratively framed panelled entrance door. The door opens to reveal a gorgeous timber beamed dining hall with an original Blue Lias flagstone floor and brick inglenook fireplace with multi fuel stove.
To the right of the dining room there is a cosy snug with beamed ceiling and a lovely dual aspect view of the gardens. To the left is the beautiful family breakfast kitchen, fitted in character oak with in frame cabinets that wrap around the room offering plenty of storage. The granite countertops beautifully complement and extend to form a breakfast area with seating for four and have inset a Villeroy and Boch ceramic sink with mixer tap. A multipaned window overlooks the rear terrace and courtyard beyond, but the focal point of the room no doubt, are the burgundy Everhot electric range cookers which sit beneath the character arched timber beam. The kitchen also has an integrated Bosch dishwasher, Bosch microwave oven with grill and an attractive and practical porcelain tiled floor running underfoot. Leading off the kitchen is the most useful laundry/boot room which is fitted in matching oak cabinets with granite countertops and inset sink. There is space and plumbing for an American style fridge freezer, washing machine and dryer and the benefit of a door leading you out to the side of the property, making it a perfect entrance for muddy boots and dogs after a walk in the surrounding countryside. From the laundry room there is a guest cloakroom alongside a feature walk in pantry with brick thralls and an original shaped slate salting trough and shelf.
Return back through the dining hall and you will access an inner hall which has a wide feature turning staircase to the first floor with turned spindles and oak balustrade. There are feature wall beams and a tall multi pane window overlooks the gardens to the front. Leading off is the drawing room; a wonderful formal reception room. Recently renovated, it has newly lime plastered walls and a beautiful polished mahogany parquet floor. At one end of the room is a ground stone fireplace with an inset multi fuel stove, making for a very appealing and warming focal point to what is such a lovely room.
Also from the dining hall is accessed a second rear hallway which has a guest cloakroom, access to the cellars below and a second entrance door leading out to the rear terrace. The combinations of rooms that follow here would make an ideal annex wing if required and comprise of a lower large garden/annex room which has exposed stonework and a multi fuel stove, picture windows to the rear and French double doors opening out onto a beautiful paved patio area and the gardens beyond. Set above the garden room is bedroom six, a versatile room with Amtico flooring, fitted wardrobes and a private en suite shower room.
This delightful property offers six double bedrooms in total, each with their own distinctive personality. The master bedroom with its excellent en suite shower room, provides a private haven and bedroom two is a particularly stunning room, with a stone fireplace, stone mullion framed former windows and exposed beams. The luxury family bathroom beckons with a contemporary bath with large backlit mirror over, WC and vanity wash hand basin. There is a feature walk in shower area, fully tiled, complete with seat and discrete LED lighting, and underfloor heating keeps your toes toasty and the tall ladder radiator warms your towels.
Outside, shared vehicular access leads you around to the rear of Tonge Hall and into the courtyard where the farm's former outbuildings have been developed into four unique properties. There is a driveway providing ample car parking alongside a garage with electric up and over entrance doors, light and power points, EV charging point and double timber doors which open to give access through to the gardens beyond. Impeccably landscaped, the private gardens and grounds have been a labour of love for the current owners, and it really shows.
