As you park your car on the drive and walk through the gate onto the raised walkway leading to the veranda, you have beautiful views over the garden and the adjacent countryside and a relaxed feeling knowing you are home. and that you are blessed to live in such a beautiful, warm and welcoming place.
The property itself has been developed over the years from what was originally a single storey bungalow to now a large versatile family home since the current owners bought it in 1982.
The accommodation includes a wonderful living room where there is a wood burning stove for those cold winter nights and also the most beautiful picture windows that feel like they bring the garden into the room. Leading from the living room is the rustic and charming kitchen with room for a breakfast table and again perfect for entertaining as adjoining the dining room or double doors lead out to the veranda where you can entertain guests in the warmer months with beautiful views over the gardens.
On from the dining room a hallway/cloakroom leads to a bedroom and shower room and also to the rear porch and utility room and then to the rear courtyard patio. A further inner hallway leads to 2 double bedrooms and a family bathroom on the ground floor.
Stairs lead to the first floor where on the landing there is a large built-in wardrobe. Doors lead to two further double bedrooms both benefiting from views over the gardens and countryside with a wonderful shared balcony to enjoy the views sitting out with breakfast and a cup of coffee or a glass of wine in the evenings.
This beautiful home is not your 5 bedroom executive family home but a unique and much loved family home with a welcoming energy that envelops you as you walk in and around. There are improvements a new family may wish to make and tfurther potential to be explored. The property has solar panels and an Air-Sourced Heat Pump negating the need for oil or LPG. This all helps to improve the energy performance of the property.
Externally there is a summerhouse in the back corner of the garden, perfect as a studio or teenage den.
The owners over their time here have spent a lot of energy to create a wilderness garden and with the woodland they wanted to create a garden that could be enjoyed but also be used by all. It is not an overly tidy garden but one where the owners have taken much pride and joy in managing it organically with no chemical input. There is a small formal vegetable plot but if you wished to create further there is ample space to do this. What is so lovely about the plot is you have further potential to create the spaces that you wish. It's great for children as well as adults to escape the stresses of everyday life with ample space of lawn for goals, trampoline and for children to kick a ball or play in the timber-built play castle. A gate leads through the woodland to the lower meadow and the main part of the land which borders a somewhat famous stream.
The stream is a lovely place to sit and also has probably a few tales to tell as further upstream is Pooh Bridge, famous for the Winnie the Pooh stories and playing Pooh Sticks. There are lovely natural ferns and patches of bluebells in the woods.
This home is not polished and it is not all gleaming but what it does have is warmth and character that is difficult to find in many more modern homes. If looking for your own bit of privacy and security and a home that feels like you own a bit of Narnia then this is certainly well worth a viewing and I would be delighted to show you around.
