Description
Groom House is a detached Grade II listed property situated on the edge of the village with wonderful countryside views. It is approached by a private road with electric gates opening out onto the front gravel drive with room for several vehicles.
The house has a contemporary twist whilst retaining many of its period characteristics, including stone mullions windows, ceiling beams and leaded casement windows.
It offers generous accommodation with four reception rooms, comprising sitting room, drawing room, garden room, media room and study. The boot room off the drawing room and its butler’s sink and lavatory is ideal for muddy boots and washing dogs.
The bespoke Grand Union fitted kitchen has an island with a breakfast bar and granite work surfaces. There is a Miele built-in microwave, filtered water tap, a semi-integrated dishwasher, and an integrated Liebherr fridge freezer. The kitchen also has electric underfloor heating. There is a second kitchen/utility room with hob, oven and integrated fridge. The dining area has fitted bench seats and built-in display cupboards and bookshelves. The garden room with wood beam trusses and log burner is open plan from the kitchen/dining room with electric underfloor heating and French doors leading out to the west facing garden. The drawing room also has a log burner.
Upstairs on the first floor are three double bedrooms, one with an en suite bathroom, and a separate shower room. The principal bedroom with en suite shower room occupies the whole of the second floor with views over the gardens.
Outside, there is an oak framed double garage with external staircase leading to a spacious home office. There is also a summerhouse/artist studio with electricity, a perfect space to enjoy the beautiful countryside views. Both have wifi capability.
The landscaped gardens have a paved terrace with a water feature and steps up to the lawns with views across open countryside. Side gates access a vegetable garden with raised beds, a greenhouse and a shed. The Knightley Way divides the house and gardens from this side garden.
