Description
Fernbank is an impressive B Listed detached Victorian Gothic-style villa full of character and charm, benefitting from accommodation over two floors extending to approximately 2280 sq ft in the main house. The outbuildings offer an extra 1960 sq ft of usable space which includes a self contained apartment. Accessed through electric gates and along the driveway to the front, the property is substantial and occupies a fantastic position within its own arboretum.
The house is entered through a vestibule which leads into the entrance hall giving access to all the other rooms. The main reception rooms include the living room, sitting room and dining room. The living room has a beautiful corner bay window looking over the garden and along with the other reception rooms has a focal fireplace. The kitchen is designed in a country style and has a variety of storage options, ample marble worktop space, Belfast sink and a range cooker, along with plenty of space for informal dining. A door from the kitchen leads out to the garden. Finally the ground floor bedroom offers a versatile space as a guest bedroom or study and is located next to the stunning family bathroom which boasts a striking slipper rolltop bath.
A beautiful turned staircase with cast iron balustrade leads upstairs to three well proportioned bedrooms and a stylish shower room.
Externally Fernbank benefits from a substantial outbuilding which was formerly a stable block. It is of stone construction under a slate roof and comprises a utility room, store room, gym, office and a garage, all on the ground floor. Upstairs offers a separate one bedroom apartment complete with kitchen/dining room, living room, bedroom and shower room. A spacious hay loft is located over the garage.
The garden grounds are stunning and consist of lush green lawns and a range of mature botanical specimen trees forming part of the woodland surrounding the home and offering a secluded and tranquil setting with a stream flowing through the lower portion of garden. Special mention must go to the two giant redwood and monkey puzzle trees positioned at either side of the driveway.
