#TheGardenOfEngland
A handsome and substantial Grade II Listed farmhouse with well proportioned and characterful accommodation including an attractive annexe, delightful thatched double garage and wonderful gardens including productive kitchen/vegetable garden, wild flowers and fruit trees.
In all about 3.33 acres.
Durrants House is a fine example of a Grade II Listed farmhouse which has undergone a comprehensive refurbishment programme by the current owners to provide luxury modern day conveniences including new kitchen, bath/shower rooms and a Herz biomass wood pellet boiler (serving the main house and annexe) mixed with a wealth of character features including inglenook fireplace, exposed timbers and sash windows. It dates from the 16th Century with later 18th / 19th Century façade addition and built of traditional construction being brick under a tiled roof with part tiled and weatherboard elevations.
The property offers substantial versatile accommodation over 3 floors (about 3,500 sq ft). On the ground floor there are four reception rooms including a study (with display recess) and study area, playroom, sitting room with inglenook fireplace and wood burning stove, a dining/family room with Chesney wood burning stove and a smart contemporary Leicht kitchen with Corian worksurfaces, Mercury range cooker, Quooker tap and integrated dishwasher and fridge. Just off the kitchen is a utility room with further storage and a walk in larder/pantry store. The ground floor is complimented by further storage cupboards and a cloakroom.
On the first floor are 4 double bedrooms, 3 benefitting from fitted wardrobes and one with a walk in dressing room. There are also 2 luxury bath/shower rooms and a large store (accessed from one bathroom).
On the second floor there are 2 double attic bedrooms.
There are some lovely views from all windows over the gardens, grounds and surrounding countryside.
Annexe
The annexe is a single store building, previously the piggery, and within the curtilage of the main house’s Grade II Listing. It has a wonderful open plan kitchen/dining/lounge area (with wood burning stove) and vaulted ceiling. There is a separate dressing room (bedroom 2/study), a double bedroom and a modern shower room. The annexe overlooks the kitchen garden and gravel area and has a sense of feeling separate from the main residence.
Outside
Gardens
The gardens are equally pleasing and measure about 3.33 acres in all. To the front is a long sweeping driveway with lawn either side and established mature hedges, plants and trees. Of note is the superb American oak tree. There is plenty of parking for numerous cars. To one side is a pretty detached thatch double garage with electric car charging point, a detached pellet store and boiler store. To the other side has a greenhouse, old stables, store and kennels. The rear garden is again mostly laid to lawn with mown pathways and with a productive kitchen/vegetable garden with gravelled areas, wild flowers and fruit trees including apple, mulberry, cherry and cobnut platt.
The gardens are surrounded by farmland.
