4 bedroom house

Attractive village house with delightful garden, garaging and outbuilding


Description

Springcroft is believed to 1926 and is built of red brick under pitched tiled roofs with rendered exteriors. The house has had a considerable amount of work to it including cavity wall insulation, UPVC double glazing throughout and the interior is extremely well presented. The accommodation incorporates a ground floor bedroom suite which also could work as a small annexe. Planning permission (now lapsed) was given for a substantial two storey extension. The gardens are a particular
feature with numerous established ornamental trees,
shrubberies, herbaceous borders and a productive vegetable
garden. There is a long drive that leads round to a 2 car garage
with workshop space and storage space over. The equestrian
enthusiast can take advantage of the paddock to the far end of the property where there is also a stable/field shelter.

Outside
Springcroft is approached off a private lane which leads to one
other house, Springcroft being the last property. There is a short gravelled drive which culminates to the front of the house and a further drive that leads around the house to a larger parking area and the outbuildings, positioned just beyond the
gardens of the house. The front garden is well planted with box
lined rose beds and shrubberies with further ornamental
flowerbeds and trees. A pathway leads to the rear gardens where immediately fronting the southern elevation of the house is a terrace with raised fish ponds and well planted flowerbeds
divided by pathways. Beyond is a brick and tiled garden
outbuilding which has been converted for use as a home office. There is a wide terrace area to the rear and sloping lawns with a vegetable garden, fruit garden, further flowerbeds and lawns with a pathway leading through wisteria, rose and a clematis pergola. To the side of the house there is a potting shed/store. The back drive culminates in a wide gravelled standing to one side of which is a part enclosed former boat store (4 bays)
