Tyler House

Built for a gentleman farmer in 1820 and not listed, Tyler House is a substantial and handsome, three-storey building with a symmetrical façade of mellow brick under a slate roof. The accommodation extends to around 5000 sq. ft. over three floors plus a cellar.
At the head of a ½ mile long private tarmac drive and surrounded by its own land, the house, buildings and lake occupy an idyllic rural setting.
The property was extended and remodelled in 2001 with a two-storey addition at the rear providing a much larger kitchen and a glorious, dual aspect drawing room. The bright and well-proportioned reception rooms are mostly double glazed and have attractive period features including sash windows, wooden shutters, picture rails and hardwood floors of oak and cherry, A marble fireplace in the drawing room has a wood burning stove and there are working fireplaces in the dining room and study.
The elegant, bespoke staircase in the hall is made from cherry wood from the orchards on the property. There are sycamore and cherry floors upstairs.
The stylish and very spacious kitchen/breakfast room at the rear of the house has granite worktops, an oil fired, four oven Aga, an Italian limestone tiled floor, butler sink and an island unit housing an electric oven. The original well has been made into a feature.
There are double doors joining the kitchen to the sitting room, creating a wonderful, versatile family living space with windows on three sides and French doors opening from the sitting room to a west facing terrace.
The Granary :
Converted in 1992, the detached granary provides excellent two-storey ancillary accommodation extending to 2800 sq. ft. and would be suitable for a variety of alternative uses, subject to the usual consents. The impressive double height space in the middle of building is currently used as a gym but would make a magnificent room for entertaining with its French doors opening to the south facing terrace. A siting room, large kitchen, study and two utility/storage rooms complete the ground floor accommodation. There are two bedrooms and two en-suite bathrooms on the first floor.
Gardens and grounds:
There is a block paved courtyard and parking area at the rear of the house, a terrace and raised vegetable beds are on the south side of the Granary and there is south facing terrace, lawned area and Ha-ha at the front of the farmhouse with views over rolling countryside. Two orchards at the back of the house contain apple, plum, cherry, pear, quince, greengage and damson trees. A spring fed lake with small island is stocked with carp and provides a very peaceful and secluded haven with woodland on one side. The house, buildings and lake are surrounded by the grazing land and woodland and are barely visible to neighbouring properties. The hard tennis court is tucked away behind the barns and also has fabulous views.
The land is in a stewardship scheme (details available from the agents) and is let on annual grazing licences but will be available with vacant possession. The woodland extends to approx. 18 acres in three main blocks, plus some smaller spinneys.
Services:
Mains electricity and water. Oil fired central heating and Aga. (Electric storage heaters in Granary) Solar panels - PV 3.9kw installation with Feed in Tariff. (Installed 2011)
