The village of Tealby is known for its welcoming community, sought-after Primary school and excellent village pub with restaurant, surrounded by walks in an area of outstanding natural beauty.

Approved planning permission and listed building consent has recently been granted to extend and improve the home sympathetically in keeping with a property of special historical interest.

Step Inside

The solid wood entrance door with fan light above opens directly into a large entrance hall with a decorative inset fireplace and built-in glazed display cabinet. The proportions of this central space would also be perfect for a formal dining hall or a further relaxed sitting room. This side is part of the original house dating back to 1790 and links the slightly later extension as well as being open to the return staircase to the first floor. Interestingly, The Old Market Garden was once part of the Tennyson d’Eyncourt family estate, providing market produce to the surrounding area for many years.

To the left of the entrance hall is a comfortable forward facing snug set around a period style fireplace with open fire grate. This room enjoys the sun all day long and opens to the bright dual aspect dining room with wrap-around windows and French doors to a small front patio. The dining room offers storage with a range of solid wood base cabinets. From the dining room is the kitchen to the rear of the house, which has twin windows looking over the rear herb garden courtyard and is fitted in a range of painted solid wood cabinets.

A rear informal entrance has space and plumbing for laundry appliances and is where the new central heating boiler and water tank are located. A cloakroom with two-piece suite is located off this area.

To the right of the front entrance hall opens to two additional reception rooms. The first is a home study with decorative fireplace recess to the chimney breast and custom made fitted cupboards and shelving. The adjacent elegant formal sitting room is dual aspect set around a pale marble period fireplace with fire grate, and beautifully hand crafted fitted cupboards and shelving.

Step Upstairs

The landing turns to the right with a small galleried balustrade looking over the front entrance door which continues to serve the principal bright forward-facing double bedroom with twin custom made built in wardrobes and a decorative period fireplace. Adjacent is a family bathroom with a view of the garden and three-piece suite. Planning permission has been granted to create a generously sized ensuite.

To the left side of the landing is a custom fitted dressing room with generous hanging, shelving and drawer space. Bedroom two is a sunny forward-facing double bedroom with a door to a small galleried landing looking over the entrance hall below and across to the void to the main landing opposite. Planning permission has been granted to create a further dressing room in this void, serving bedroom two.

There are two further double bedrooms, one looking up towards the Kings Head pub, and the other with a decorative fireplace and dual aspect windows overlooking the gardens, and a family bathroom with a three-piece suite and large storage cupboard. Outside the family bathroom is an airing cupboard fitted with slatted shelves offering useful storage.

Step Outside

To the front of the property is a pedestrian gated entrance set in high privacy boundary hedging which opens to a paved path flanked with low box hedging, dating back over 100 years. There are established planted beds to both sides of the path and a fabulous flowering wisteria grows up the front of the house, and roses decorate the front elevation beneath. The path extends to a paved seating area from the dining room looking over the garden. The mature gardens are lawned and lined with fruit trees and herbaceous borders.

The garden sweeps around the side of the home with the path from the front leading to the rear courtyard herb garden with a high gated entrance. The gravel and paved courtyard herb garden provides a large seating area and is accessed via the utility entrance to the house. A detached outbuilding has planning permission for conversion to a gym and laundry room with a glazed link connected to the main house.

A detached garage with electric twin up and over doors is approached from a gravelled drive with ample space for parking from Cow Lane.

Note: The property has undergone a complete electrical rewire in June 2022. Plumbing has also been upgraded throughout.
