3 bedroom detached house for sale

Description

Lillybrook is a charming, detached Grade II Listed house which is thought to date from the late 16th century with an addition in the late 1920s, though since then has been further upgraded and now is a comfortable home with many period features including exposed beams and plank and muntin screens. The house faces south and is set back from the road (Six Mile Hill).

Overall, the accommodation amounts to over 1,800sq ft. A spacious reception hall has an attractive tiled floor, one of two staircases and a coat/boot room which houses the boiler. There is an impressive 23ft dual aspect kitchen/dining room with ample space for entertaining and an adjoining utility room. A study/office has French windows leading onto the front garden. A step leads to the lovely dual aspect sitting room which has two oak plank and muntin screens and a large stone fireplace housing a wood burning stove. The adjoining front hallway has a separate downstairs toilet and leads to a 2nd Sitting room (which may also be used as a 4th bedroom) with a second staircase to the first floor.

On the first floor are three double bedrooms and a bathroom; two of the bedrooms have their own staircase. Bedroom 1 (accessed from the rear hallway) is dual aspect with a vaulted ceiling. Bedroom 2 (accessed from the 2nd Sitting room) is also dual aspect with a high ceiling and with the 2nd Sitting room/Bedroom 4 below could be perfect as a separate unit for a teenager or for B&B.

The private driveway provides off road parking and leads to an open-fronted, timber-framed double car port which has an adjoining log store. The grounds at Lillybrook are a particular delight, ideal for the keen gardener. At the front of the house, on the south side, are sitting areas between the house and the linhay barn beyond which are cottage-style gardens which bend around the house and open out to the rear to a large expanse of lawn, vegetable garden and orchard. There are also areas of mature woodland, and a paddock on the other side of the lane which adjoins a stream. The extent overall is approximately 9.5 ACRES. The detached Linhay Barn is separately Grade II Listed, it provides storage on the ground floor with a loft over.
