Property description

A late Georgian four double bedroom extended detached property with established gardens, gated driveway parking, and a garage, in a prominent rural corner plot.

The property has been restored and refurbished to a high specification with careful attention paid to blending its many traditional features with modern day amenities. The current owners have extended to create an open plan kitchen/breakfast room with doors to a family room, and access to a new first floor principal bedroom. There are three further formal reception rooms, a utility room and a ground floor shower room. The part galleried landing on the first floor has access to the roof space, three of the bedrooms, a family bathroom and a study. The principal bedroom is accessed via a separate staircase and has access to a roof space and an en suite shower room. Twin solid wood gates at the side open to a gravel drive which provides parking and access to a garage with power and twin metal doors. The gardens are a major feature and are well screened by mature trees and hedges. There is a timber framed over 18 ft. by nearly 16 ft. summerhouse, and an additional rear driveway.

Entrance Hall and Reception Rooms

An original panelled entrance door leads into a restored pamment tiled entrance hall with doors either side to the sitting and dining rooms which both have stripped floorboards and period fireplaces with raised hearths housing, respectively, a Stovax log burner and a Jotul calor gas stove. The dining room has shelved storage cupboards set either side of the fireplace. The snug has a full height feature brick fireplace and a beamed part vaulted ceiling.

Kitchen/Breakfast Room and Family Room

The open plan kitchen/breakfast room is over 29 ft. long and has bespoke cabinetry by DeVOL and Silestone work surfaces and splashbacks. There is a four oven oil fired Aga with an overmantel and a custom built kitchen prep table, pantry cupboard, and wall shelves. There are dual aspect windows and a lantern skylight provides additional natural light. Period style folding doors to the adjoining family room allow it to be separated off or opened up to the kitchen as desired. It has a marble fireplace with a Gazco calor gas stove, built-in storage in the fireplace recesses, and French doors to a paved terrace.

Gardens

The principal garden is at the front of the house and is enclosed by a combination of mature hedges, and close boarded and post and rail fencing for screening. It is principally lawned with established borders with a variety of mature trees and shrubs interspersed. A flagstone path accesses a summerhouse and the rear garden which has an independent drive with parking for up to two cars and is accessed via twin timber five bar gates and a postman’s gate. It is enclosed by mature hedgerow.
