A fine landmark family house with spacious accommodation over three floors and far reaching views over countryside.

Withurst - Originally built as a Headmistress's House in 1938, this substantial house has nods to the Arts & Crafts movement with numerous brick fireplaces and large windows. The house is arranged over three floors with principal rooms having splendid views over the surrounding countryside. Built of engineering bricks, Withurst was known locally as 'Miss Nicholls house' after she took over from her mother who ran the next door school. Light and bright and solid as a rock, Withurst has flexible accommodation with a secondary entrance for an annexe if required.

From the hallway with wooden floor, there is a double height window and fine oak staircase. The study has a separate front door and porch and a door to the sitting room with French windows to the terrace and garden. There is a family room, a formal dining room and doors to the triple aspect, open plan kitchen/breakfast room and fine views across the garden. The kitchen has underfloor heating and is well fitted with a range of wall and floor cabinets, fitted appliances, a spice cupboard, plenty of room for a table and sofa, and French windows to the terrace. Behind the kitchen is the utility room, boot room and a cloakroom with shower.

Upstairs there are five generous double bedrooms and three bath or shower rooms. The main bedroom is 22ft in length and has a range of wardrobes. On the second floor, there is a further spacious bedroom with two attic cupboards, and a bathroom.

Outside - Edged by mature trees, Withurst is screened from the lane giving great privacy and seclusion. The gravelled drive sweeps up to the house and to the three bay open car port. There is plenty of parking around the circular island and a further secure garage, currently used to house the family table tennis table. To the rear of the house, the South-Eastern facing paved
terrace runs along the length of the property, giving wonderful views across the gardens and fields beyond. The garden is mainly laid to lawn and edged with mature hedges and trees, there is a summer house and a summer seating area under the shade of the Ash and Silver Birch trees. Tawny Owls live in the owl box and the garden is alive with wildlife including many varieties of birds and a family of badgers. At the bottom of the garden are a mix of fruit trees including apple, pear, cherry and plum. The whole amounts to 0.86 acres.
