I see very few beautiful houses completely surrounded by countryside -- Alex Davies, Managing Director



#TheGardenOfEngland



A beautifully renovated period country house with stunning interiors set in wonderful gardens including part of a Medieval moat and completely surrounded by farmland.
In all about 1.25 acres




A Grade II Listed detached period house with a classical Georgian front elevation and earlier origins behind. The front wing of the house features elegant rooms of excellent proportions with high ceilings and large windows flooding the accommodation with light. The drawing room is partly panelled and has a wood burning stove whilst the sitting room has a period fireplace and oak flooring.

The elegant reception hall with attractive staircase leads to the older rear wing of the house highlighting a fabulous through kitchen/breakfast room complete with bespoke hand painted fittings by “Classic Kitchens” including a large island with copper surface and a focal point “Everhot” electric range for cooking. Part of this large room enjoys underfloor heating.

At one end of the kitchen there is a splendid dining area overlooking the garden and at the opposite end is a delightful pantry complete with illuminated natural well.
On the first floor, the landing provides access to four good size bedrooms of spacious proportions including a master bedroom with fitted wardrobes and an en-suite shower room complete with fitted shoe cupboards. The guest bedroom also has an en-suite and there are two further bedrooms in addition. On the attic floor there is a further bedroom and study along with access to loft space storage.

The property has undergone a significant programme of careful renovation and sensitive refurbishment in recent years as well as gradual development of the gardens which are a fine accompaniment. Plans have been drawn up to create a driveway extension allowing vehicles to arrive in grand style in front of the Georgian frontage and main entrance.

Gardens and Grounds
The property is approached over a bridge leading across the ancient moat which extends to two sides. A gravel driveway provides parking and turning space along with access to an adjacent period granary with planning permission for conversion of the first floor.
The house is surrounded by lawned gardens with a sunny terrace, borders, shrubs and trees. Outbuildings include a tool shed, wood stores, boiler house and workshop with W.C.
The gardens extend away from the house across the moat with aspects across surrounding rural farmland. Towards the end of the garden are vegetable gardens with a polytunnel, fruit cage and potting shed. In all about 1.25 acres.

The property is surrounded by countryside and approached via a long farm road leading from the lane to the entrance.
