An architecturally designed Victorian former dairy with ancillary accommodation, a range of useful outbuildings and stabling with beautiful views set in an exclusive location * Cranbrook School catchment area *
The Round House is set along a private driveway on an exclusive enclave of just a few properties on a private country estate. The property is a real gem in regards to its design with unusual octagonal shaped rooms cleverly configured to provide well thought out accommodation.
The original part of The Round House dates from the late 19th century and features attractive herringbone brickwork with exposed timbers. It was subsequently sensitively extended in the 1980s to create a unique single storey dwelling with windows positioned at every turn allowing the property to be flooded with lots of natural light and offering views across the beautiful gardens, paddocks and countryside beyond.
From the front gate, The Round House is approached along a paved central pathway, flanked by lawn and mature planted beds, arriving at the front door which opens into the entrance hall from which all of the accommodation can be accessed. The property comprises an elegant sitting room, fitted kitchen arranged open plan to the dining/family room, good sized utility room, three bedrooms, one with en suite shower room and a family shower room.
It is accompanied by a detached barn style annexe offering ancillary accommodation and a substantial outbuilding which is currently used as art studios, at present rented to local artisans but would be suitable as offices. In addition, there is a stable block with four stables which benefits from a right of way providing separate vehicular access. The three paddocks are all stock fenced and have fresh water in situ.
The beautiful gardens of approximately ¾ acre is of great interest to gardeners/horticulturists alike and has been open to the public on many occasions of the years. They have been thoughtfully designed to provide separate garden rooms with seasonal colour and interest. There are areas for enjoying the views, taking advantage of the all-day sun, hidden away nooks to curl up with a book, terracing for outside dining and a summer house in which to enjoy the garden on cooler days.
A property like The Round House is a real joy and rarely does such a special property come to the market.
