4 bedroom detached house for sale

WITH LAND - Quiet VILLAGE LOCATION - Handsome Georgian detached four-bedroom, four-reception period residence set in around 2.3 acres (*TBV) with a generous stable yard. Located in a highly desirable rural hamlet (AONB) with charming views, and surrounded by miles of unspoilt countryside, woodland, bridleways and walks.

Well-presented and maintained, the property dates from 1793 and was originally the village Inn. The interior is spacious throughout (over 3000 sq. ft) and has been sympathetically improved, extended and re-modelled over the years; now offering a pleasing combination of elegant family accommodation with all the benefits of modern living. At the heart of the home is a large stone-floored dining room leading to an impressive, contemporary kitchen and good-sized utility room. The adjacent double sitting room spans the entire depth of the property and is approx. 35' long with stripped floorboards, feature bay window and large inglenook fireplace. In addition, there is a purpose-built home-office, reading room and cloakroom and a porch and entrance area. Upstairs offers three large double bedrooms with bespoke shutters, one single bedroom, a bathroom and a shower room - all bedrooms provide delightful views.
The upstairs includes a corridor area with a triple linen cupboard. The property also benefits from an expansive cellar.

Outside, the property is approached through a five-bar gate onto a gravelled parking area with turning for several vehicles/horse box. The mature, secluded gardens are divided into several zones with a terrace & lawn area, wildflower corner & shed.
The stable yard is currently laid out as two loose boxes, bedding storage area, hay shed & tack room together with a 24' gym/studio which could easily be restored to the original 3rd and/or 4th loose boxes if required.

There are three post & rail paddocks, one featuring a double field shelter, and space to add a riding arena on the land (subject to permissions).
