A delightful Grade II listed six bedroom village house with pretty level gardens, an annex/studio and ample off road parking.
Description
Hurstdene is a most attractive detached village house, dating back to the early 1800's with red brick, tile hung and weatherboard elevations. This charming six bedroom family home sits within attractive lawned gardens with an in and out driveway, garaging and an adaptable annexe/home office/studio.
The property enjoys good ceiling heights to the majority of rooms and retains many charming period features including exposed timbers and beams, multi paned sash windows and wood block flooring.
The internal accommodation is well proportioned and includes a lovely welcoming reception hall with wide staircase rising to the first floor. The attractive main 34ft sitting room enjoys a southerly aspect and features an inglenook with polished brick hearth and Clearview wood burning stove. Further reception rooms include a family room and a study both enjoying an easterly aspect.
The farmhouse-style kitchen/breakfast room has painted cupboards together with various appliances including a dual fuel Smeg range cooker, integral dishwasher and fridge. Completing the ground floor accommodation are boot and store rooms, a utility room, adjacent shower room and WC.
Four pretty first floor bedrooms include the main bedroom with dressing room and en suite shower room. There is a family bathroom fitted with a modern white suite. Stairs lead up to the second floor where there are two attic bedrooms and access to the generous loft storage.
Hurstdene is approached via double gates with a drive continuing to the garden store, two garages and along the west side of the house. Adjacent to the garages is the annexe/studio with sitting room/kitchen, shower room with electric shower and ladder stairs up to a useful storage area (restricted in height).
The attractive gardens are laid to lawn and enclosed by mature laurel hedging. There is a lovely maple tree, various seasonal shrubs and a number of apple trees.
