Rural Refuge

Tucked away at the end of Spring Lane, a wooden gate opens to the sweeping driveway, lined with mature evergreen hedging concealing the home from view of the road. With healthy lawn bordering the driveway to the left, glimpse the far-reaching views to the rear as you approach, enhancing the serenity of Spring Hill’s setting.

A Warm Welcome

The pillared entrance and welcoming double doors open to reveal the broad and bright entrance hallway, flooded with light from windows to either side. Through the doors to the left, savour the incredible views from the spacious sitting room. French doors open to bring the outdoors in, framing far reaching watercolour captures of the garden, lake, and countryside beyond. In the winter months, the open fire instils the room with a toasty glow, nestled within its marble surround. Entertain with ease in the dining room, a large, square room to the right of the entrance hallway, offering views to the front garden and with doors connecting through to the garden room; the perfect place for an aperitif or a sundowner, French doors offer instant access out to the patio terrace and garden beyond. A sociable hub of the home, the garden room can also be accessed via sliding doors from the inner hallway.

Spacious and Bright

Spacious and bright, wide windows to the front and rear of the breakfast kitchen draw in an abundance of light. A handy side porch is ideal for keen walkers and muddy paws, providing a practical place in which to hang coats and dog leads. There is also access through to the double garage from here and the old coal shed. Returning to the entrance hall, double doors open and lead onwards to a lobby area granting access to the outside terrace, basking in sunshine, and offering idyllic views out over the lake and fields beyond. From there, there’s a handy guest cloakroom with wash basin and lavatory. A home that reveals itself as you move through it, storage is found throughout the hallways in abundance, with a wall of cupboards set across from the study, which borrows light from the garden room through a glazed door.

Sweet Dreams

Private and peaceful, dressed in neutral shades, this soporific and spacious bedroom features its own en suite with separate bath and shower, alongside a dressing room and separate walk-in wardrobe.

The Good Life

Lush, emerald-green lawn wraps its way around the home, whose sense of privacy is enhanced by the mature trees and shrubs planted to the front. To the side, the lawn runs down to the self-maintained lake, which has an output and input. Once brimming with carp, fish still swim the lake’s waters, with ducks frequenting the lake particularly in the springtime. Pause a while in the summerhouse to savour the view. There is also a freshwater spring, behind the lake.

Glorious Surroundings

Grow your own in the glass house and enjoy all manner of games on the lawn, securely set behind a well-maintained stone and brick wall. To the rear of the home, soak up the sunshine on the stone patio, where a handsome, gated archway, reclaimed from the local area, directs your eyeline to the garden and borders, brimming with spring bulbs beyond. Wrapping around the home on all sides, the glorious gardens provide a buffer of bucolic bliss to the home, with fields dotted with lambs outlying the two acres of lawn, lake, and borders.
