There is no denying that period houses have a very definite feel about them, there is something about walking into a home which has an abundance of character that instantly draws you to the very feel of it and this is definitely one of those houses. There is a warmth and a comforting
sense of space that is apparent right from the start in Ormondhurst, never mind the fact that here is a home which works incredibly well for a family, as indeed it does for entertaining, on a formal or informal scale. Rooms that are very comfortably proportioned and which have the high ceilings that one would expect, are also flooded with natural light and well arranged, with the two main living spaces of the drawing room and kitchen both having direct access to the gardens which provide the house with a hugely private and immensely attractive setting.

The more formal living room comes in the shape of a beautifully square drawing room that looks out over the south facing garden and from where double doors lead you out onto the terrace, the perfect spot to sit in almost complete privacy on a summer's evening. A rich, wood strip floor brings warmth to the room while all across one end, a recessed fireplace, with the original lead light windows on either side, houses a large log burner.

Adjacent to this, with double glass doors connecting the two, is a large and perfectly placed family room which also connects with the kitchen, allowing this to become a formal dining room if preferred. From here there is also a turning staircase that leads down to the basement level which has been carefully converted into a superb space which would work equally well as either a home office or games room.

The kitchen has been cleverly extended and immaculately refitted with a Neptune kitchen that comes complete with a whole raft of appliances, granite worksurfaces and a deep Butlers sink, complete with a Quooker tap. This is a wonderfully light and immensely practical space with a large dining area where light pours in through a roof lantern and doors lead onto the equally private front garden. Across the entrance hall is a separate utility room fitted out with an array of hand crafted units and from where there is access to the garage and also the garden.

Upstairs the bedrooms are all comfortable doubles and have the same feeling of character that washes over the ground floor. The main bedroom has a bright double aspect that looks down over the rear garden while at one end a cast iron, horseshoe fireplace echoes back to a bygone era. There is a comprehensive bank of hand crafted, built in wardrobes along one side and off to the corner, an en suite shower room. This room also has air conditioning.

The second bedroom has a hugely attractive, shelved bay window, with useful storage beneath, that looks out over the front garden and there are two built in wardrobes to one side.

On the top floor a pair of double bedrooms lie on either side of the landing and lend themselves ideally to guests or indeed teenagers looking for a space of their own that is somewhat separate from the main body of the house. The larger of these rooms also has air conditioning. There is a half landing between the first and second floor where there is a cloakroom that serves these two rooms.
