THE ACCOMMODATION
Angel House is an exceptionally attractive substantial period family home filled with immense charm and character throughout. Believed to date back to circa 1600’s the property was formerly a public house up to 1993. Angel House is not listed but is set within a conservation area. The property was bought by the current owners who have transformed it to a much-loved family home. The accommodation is spacious and light and perfect for families looking for a prominent village house. Whilst it is now in need of some refurbishment and upgrading, it offers a fantastic opportunity to further extend the main accommodation or creating ancillary space for extended family or house guests.
The property is entered along a gravelled path to the front door leading into the reception hall. A door to the far end opens out to the rear courtyard garden area. There is a separate cloakroom / wc off the rear passage way. The drawing room provides a superb reception room and is double fronted allowing lots of light in. An attractive Adam style fireplace with ornate surround is set on a slate hearth housing a Jetmaster open fire. A door to the side leads into the study/home office. This is again light and bright as also has two windows overlooking the rear courtyard garden. An impressive dining room features a most attractive inglenook fireplace. Original brick surround with a brick hearth and oak bressummer beam over, (currently sealed). A side door leads conveniently to a large farmhouse style kitchen / breakfast room. This room is exceptionally bright with southerly views across the courtyard garden area. A full range of fitted wall and base units including a two-oven oil fired Aga and integrated dishwasher completes the layout with a door accessing the reception hall. The kitchen extends across to a spacious breakfast area. A further door leads off into a family/playroom. An original wood surround fireplace (unused) is to one side. A large storage cupboard is at the end.
Beyond the kitchen is a rear hallway with a large walk in utility/pantry to one side and back door leading to the courtyard. This continues along to a further reception room featuring a brick surround fireplace housing a large Jetmaster open fire. The far door leads into what was formerly a skittle alley. This is an exceptionally spacious room with French doors opening to the rear garden and parking area. There is a lapsed planning consent in place to create a self contained one bedroom accommodation ideal for extended family or house guests etc. A modern shower room with wc and basin is to the side with a connecting store room. Extensive overhead storage can be seen.
On the first floor the principal bedroom is spacious and bright looking out to the front. A small ornate cast iron fireplace is to the side. Opposite is a bathroom. There are four further double bedrooms and a family bathroom.
GARDENS AND GROUNDS
Angel House is located just off to the side of Queens Square of North Curry. The property is approached off the road on to a private gravelled entrance running alongside the front garden up to a beautiful original cast iron entrance gate. Wrought iron estate fencing continues around the front of the property on the boundary edge of the road. A pedestrian gate follows a gravelled path up to the front door. The front garden area is laid to gravel with specimen shrubs dotted along the front of the house. Established climbing roses cover the front elevations.
Following through the entrance gate into a most attractive courtyard garden lined with attractive silver birch trees that offer dappled shade. A square lawned area is edged by gravel pathways bordering the rear of the house. As this enjoys a southerly aspect it is a wonderful outside entertaining area. On the opposite side is an old dog kennel - now used as a wood store. The drive continues to a spacious parking and turning area. The main lawn area to the rear is surprisingly spacious and is completely private. Raised flower borders run along one side. A post and rail fence lined with mature trees borders the paddock.
