Charming and attractive country home with versatile accommodation, set at the end of a no-through lane, in an elevated position with far reaching views.
Description
Bourne Valley House is a charming country home with attractive stone elevations with red brick quoins, dating from the 1800 with later additions. The house is well presented throughout with character features including brick fireplaces, timber framed windows, some ceiling timbers, high ceilings and an impressive orangery. Also of note is the detached barn comprising garaging and a home office/ secondary accommodation. The house sits within established gardens and grounds of about 3.1 acres, with open views over the surrounding countryside.
The principal reception rooms provide excellent areas of both formal entertaining and family living, comprising adjoining drawing and dining rooms, and a further sitting room, all with attractive open fireplaces.
The generously proportioned kitchen/dining room is double aspect and has a range of bespoke wall and base cupboards with a complimenting island unit incorporating breakfast bar. There are integral appliances including a range cooker and dishwasher. Also of note is the fireplace with double fronted wood burning stove. An adjoining utility room has additional storage and space for appliances.
The adjoining orangery is a wonderful addition, with a roof light, wood burning stove, under floor heating and superb views over the gardens and beyond.
Arranged over the first floor are five double bedrooms, two with en suite bathrooms. A well-appointed family bathroom completes the accommodation.
The detached barn comprises a two bay open garage, a further enclosed garage, a studio room with stairs rising to the first floor where a bedroom/home office and bathroom are located.
A brick drive leads to the barn and a parking area to the front of the house. There is an additional hard standing area to the rear of the barn.
The established gardens provide an attractive backdrop to the house and are principally laid to lawn interspersed by shrubs, flower beds and borders. There is a flagstone terrace by the house flanked by raised beds. On from here is a vegetable garden with a number of beds. The adjoining land is arranged as orchard and pasture and in total the whole amounts to about 3.7 acres.
