9 bedroom house

Gravelly Bridge Farmhouse is a wonderful Victorian family home located on the outskirts of Grazeley, backing onto acres of farmland. The accommodation comprises good size reception rooms, a kitchen/breakfast room with double doors out to the courtyard, a conservatory with views over the grounds and a large utility room. A cloakroom and pantry complete the ground floor accommodation. To the first floor is the master bedroom with en-suite bathroom and dressing room, guest bedroom with en-suite bathroom (shower), three further bedrooms and a family bathroom.

The two annexes have provided valuable rental income for about 20 years. There is also an established planning permission to erect a modern, architect-designed three bedroom single storey dwelling which currently requires the removal of the annexes and outbuildings.

The property is accessed via a gated driveway which leads to parking to the front of the property and continues down the side leading to the annexe accommodation. The property is set within delightful grounds of about 1.1 acre with views over the adjoining fields. The gardens are laid to lawn with well-tended shrub beds and laurels with a mature mulberry tree and a small area of orchard located to the rear of the garden. There is a large walled courtyard outside the kitchen which is a distinct feature and ideal for entertaining, leading to the studio and annexe. Located at the rear of the far annexe is a timber storage shed, log store, workshop, kennel and boiler room. A planning application is currently being processed for a 4-bay garage and solar installation between the house and the road.
