A UNIQUE AND INDIVIDUAL PROPERTY ENJOYING A PRIVATE POSITION ON THE EDGE OF THE VILLAGE PROTECTED BY MATURE GROUNDS AND TOTAL PLOT IN ALL APPROACHING FIVE ACRES.
THE PROPERTY
Kemps Close is an individual property dating to 1974 and lying on the western side of the village, set well back from Church Street and accessed over a private drive edged by lawns which gently rise up to a large parking area overlooking the raised pond.
The bespoke, architect designed property enjoys a commanding position with views down the drive and across the delightfully mature grounds. Both adjoining and opposite the property are two detached garage blocks in matching materials providing extensive garaging and workshop facilities with potential to be converted, subject to planning, into further ancillary accommodation if required.
The main property is single storey and set around a square internal paved courtyard with water feature. Constructed of brick under a cedar shingle roof, the property provides well appointed accommodation with many rooms enjoying wonderful views over the extensive private grounds. It is evident that the property was constructed to a very high standard and the internal craftsmanship and lifestyle opportunities on offer can only be fully appreciated on stepping over the threshold.
DESCRIPTION
The two principal reception rooms are oak panelled with the sitting room having a ribbed oak ceiling and bay window enjoying panoramic views across the main grounds.
The kitchen/breakfast room is ideally situated adjoining the dining room which enjoys views over the front drive and pond. Bespoke walnut units adorn the walls of the kitchen and integral cooking appliances include stainless steel Bosch oven and grill along with two four ring hobs, one electric and the other gas.
Lying off the kitchen is a walk-in pantry cupboard and separate cupboard housing one of the boilers and pressurised hot water cylinder. The cosy family room is adjoining, again being part panelled with stone recess housing a wood burner.
The three bedrooms are accessed off an internal oak panelled corridor with two benefitting from a double aspect and all served by the family bathroom with corner Jacuzzi whirlpool bath, recessed tiled shower cubicle, low level wc and bidet. The fourth bedroom overlooks the drive and is currently used as a home office and served by the chestnut panelled cloakroom, with tiled shower cubicle, accessed off the entrance hall.
OUTSIDE
A carport provides a covered link to the smaller of the two garage blocks lying to east of the property and provides garaging for at least three vehicles. One of the garages has stairs leading down to a cellar which, in the past, has been used for bottling and storing wine from the former vineyard.
Running along the rear is a boot/utility room, a boiler room housing back up boiler and multi fuel wood burner and a separate drying room with extensive fitted storage cupboards.
Lying to the west and fronting onto the drive is a further detached garage block constructed of matching materials to Kemps Close. This building clearly offers great potential to be converted to provide independent annexe living facilities if required, subject to planning.
A covered carport divides the main four car garage from a large single garage/workshop. Accessed via the carport and running along the rear of the four car garage, is a useful lean-to wood store.
GROUNDS
The grounds are a pure delight offering Kemps Close a high degree of privacy and extending in total to approximately 4.70 acres. Specimen trees grace the boundaries with the main lawn south and west facing. Enclosed behind a mature willow hedge are nine rows of vines with polytunnel structures over. In the right hand corner lies a further eight, pre-fabricated concrete garages with a pitched fibre cement building offering protection and additional covered storage area.
A kitchen garden lies behind the main garage block with
polytunnel, greenhouse, raised borders and three further rows of vines.
FORMER VINEYARD
Whilst rows of vines remain on the property, it is a number of years since they have been fully productive. In its heyday the vineyard produced 1,000 bottles of wine annually from eight different grape varieties and the owners were members of the Mercian Vineyards Association.
