5 bedroom house

This delightful country home was originally built in 1895. It backs on to fields and nestles in 1.73 acres of grounds along a country lane ‘cul- de- sac'. It was in need of considerable refurbishment and a great deal of effort has gone into restoring many original features but also enhancing it to a modern standard. Period features include high skirtings, wood doors, dado rails, coved ceilings and ceiling roses while original sash and casement windows have been replaced with modern double glazed equivalents.

The stained glass front door leads to the hall with charming Edwardian style floor tiling that continues into the modern cloakroom. A sitting room with french doors to the garden and a contemporary wood burning provides a comfortable family space while the library/dining room is just the place for a quiet read.

Bedroom 5 has a built in cupboard or if required would also make an excellent office. The large country style fitted kitchen/breakfast room includes a range cooker and still leaves plenty of room for a large table and chairs. There is access to the rear terrace and also oak and glass double doors to a lovely garden room.

Off the galleried landing is a modern family bathroom and four double bedrooms two original fireplaces. These include a guest suite with a nearby cloakroom and the principle bedroom with an adjacent store room/dressing room that could become an en-suite bathroom.

Outside there is a terrace, three orchards and a vegetable patch. Large lawned areas surround the swimming pool and some of these areas could be fenced off to provide a paddock. In addition there is the pool house and a large garden shed as well as CCTV and an alarm system. There is an existing garage and driveway and space to build a separate property subject to the necessary planning permissions. A small paddock area at the end of the garden includes 8 KW of solar panels that provide most of the electricity for the property.

What the Owner says:

“We fell in love with the house the moment we saw it and knew it would be just right for us. Despite the fact that it needed some refurbishment we realised it would be an ideal family home and we have thoroughly enjoyed updating it over the years”.
