A charming Grade II listed residence set within an idyllic plot of one third of an acre. One of several properties within an exclusive development, set at the end of an extensive, gated driveway with individual telecom entry. The property is extremely private and benefits from an East West position, benefitting from the sun until late evening to the rear courtyard and garden. The property has been improved extensively during our client’s occupation both internally and externally, resulting in a very modern configuration of family living space over two floor and expansive entertainment space and formal garden externally.

The central entrance hall looks through to the rear garden and provides a turning stairwell to the four double bedrooms above. Of particular note, the principal bedroom to the South wing which looks across the rear garden and countryside, with ensuite shower room and separate raised dressing room. Bedroom two occupies the North wing, also benefitting from an ensuite shower and dual aspect to the front and rear. Bedrooms three and four are good size doubles and share the family bathroom with raised Victorian bath and separate double shower. To the ground floor, the delightful fully fitted kitchen breakfast room also enjoys a dual aspect, tiled floor and access into a generous utility room with separate ground floor cloakroom. The substantial dining room (16’6 x 20’6) is located in the heart of the house providing another dual aspect, engineered oak flooring, impressive ceiling height and access onto the rear courtyard. It also boasts beautiful, exposed timbers and open studwork into the raised sitting room above. This charming reception boasts the most impressive inglenook fireplace, on a brick hearth with inset wood burner. Beyond the sitting room to the South wing is the third reception, currently utilised as an office/studio with a continuation of the engineered oak flooring and external access to the driveway and rear courtyard.

EXTERNALLY

The property is approached via secure double electric gates onto an extensive private driveway, leading to a detached double garage with pitched roof and two sets of double doors. The garage is in excellent condition and benefits from an adjoining workshop/gym which is also accessed from the rear garden. The driveway runs past the garage and curved brick wall to the main entrance with a five-bar gate opening onto an extensive gravel frontage providing parking for up to eight vehicles. A further gate leads onto the formal rear garden/orchard to the West, which is predominantly laid to lawn with high fencing and established landscaping to all borders. To the South West boundary is a spectacular courtyard garden with Indian sandstone flooring and well considered landscaped raised beds above. This wonderful space is accessed from the principal receptions and offers fantastic, private entertaining space throughout the year.
