Unique former coach house in parkland setting with extensive gardens.
Description
The Coach House is a unique and remarkable property, providing generous accommodation in an inspiring parkland setting. Originally forming part of the Bitham Hall Estate, it was split away in 1985 and converted into a house in 1987 with extensive remodelling.
The house has been carefully configured to provide the bedrooms on the ground floor and the reception rooms on the first floor, to make the most of the enviable setting and views.
A grand hallway with double height ceiling leads to a generous principal bedroom suite with a dressing room, featuring a wall of in-built wardrobes, and an en suite bathroom with freestanding bath and separate shower. There are two further double bedrooms, both with storage, and a family bathroom. A further, spacious bedroom with impressive vaulted ceiling and wood burning stove also works well as an office. There is also a ground floor WC.
The real focal point of the house is the wonderfully light, first floor reception room, which provides extensive open plan living at its finest. With dual aspects, beamed ceiling and wood burning fireplace, this characterful room provides versatile living space. It is currently provides a spacious sitting room, dining room at the other end and conservatory style seating area in between, with doors opening into the garden.
A large separate, dual aspect, kitchen / breakfast room features bespoke Cotteswood in- built units, under-floor heating, ample space for a table and 3 sets of doors into different parts of the garden, ideal for family living and entertaining. A separate, generous study could also be used as a further bedroom if desired. There is also a utility room with fitted units and door into the garden and a boot room / WC.
The front of the house and accessed via a private driveway, shared with the residents of Bitham Hall, is a large gravel parking area with space for several cars, leading to a grand, period double garage, which adjoins the house. This generous, double height garage then leads to storage rooms and could offer scope for conversion for a variety of uses, subject to necessary consents.
The gardens and grounds are a remarkable feature of The Coach House and extend to approximately 1.79 acres. Accessed from the kitchen are two terraces offering ideal spots for alfresco dining throughout the day. These lead onto the spectacular garden, which once formed the kitchen garden to Bitham Hall and still retains some of the original walls.
The garden is divided into tiered sections, with a large area of lawn, mature shrubs and trees, as well as extensive beds and herbaceous borders with an abundance of plants. The garden benefits from a variety of fruit trees including apple, green gage, plum, cherry and damson.
There is also a meadow area leading onto a mature woodland, which also forms part of the property. The garden also features an historic piggery, which now provides a generous garden store plus an adjoining greenhouse.
