A most attractive Grade II listed, mid-18th Century four bedroomed coach house beautifully located in the hamlet of Stoke, Calver. This exceptional home stands in delightful grounds extending to around 1.5 acres which feature a walled garden, outdoor swimming pool and paddock. Approached via a sweeping gravel driveway the property benefits from extensive off-road parking, integral garage and vehicular access to the paddock.
The versatile accommodation is arranged over two floors with the first floor predominantly devoted to living space including two reception rooms, kitchen, family bathroom and double bedroom. At ground floor level there are three bedrooms, including a spacious en-suite master bedroom, utility room and shower room. The property retains many original features and fine detail, however requires cosmetic updating in parts.
Historical note
The Rookery lies in the parish of Stoke and originally formed part of Stoke Hall, a Grade II *(Star) listed Palladian mansion with its Georgian symmetry, designed by notable architect James Paine. Listed in the doomsday book, Stoke was first occupied in 1204. Residents include William Cavendish, the 1st Duke of Newcastle.
Description
A panelled front door opens to the entrance hall with access to all ground floor bedrooms, shower room and integral garage. A staircase leads to the first-floor landing which leads to all living accommodation.
The sitting room is a generous dual aspect room with exposed king truss, purlins and Georgian style windows. Window lights allow excellent natural light and a fireplace provides the focal point to the room. An inner hallway with stable door and covered porch opens to the garden, via a landing bridge.
At the heart of the property is a dining room with side facing window overlooking adjoining countryside. An opening leads to the kitchen with a good range of units surmounted by roll edge work tops, incorporating a four burner hob with extractor over, oven and fridge freezer. The kitchen features a peninsular unit and breakfast bar opening to the dining room. A stainless-steel sink and drainer is set beneath a side facing window overlooking surrounding countryside.
The family bathroom comprises a suite of bath, low flush WC and pedestal wash basin. Bedroom two is a generous double bedroom with rear facing aspect across the garden and exposed king truss beam and purlins.
At ground floor level an L-shaped hallway provides access to all rooms and the integral garage. The master bedroom is a generous triple aspect room with French windows opening to the garden. Alternatively, this lovely room could be used as a further reception room. The adjoining, spacious en-suite comprises shower enclosure with chrome fittings, wash basin, low flush WC and heated towel rail. From the entrance hall a glazed door leads to a charming garden with cobbled patio, ideal for the morning sun.
Bedrooms three and four are generous single bedrooms with fitted wash basins and both enjoy a pleasant outlook. A family shower room serves both bedrooms comprising shower enclosure with chrome attachment, wall mounted wash basin and low flush WC. A utility room completes the accommodation, with stainless steel sink and drainer and space for washing machine and dryer.
Grounds and paddock
To the front of the property a sweeping driveway provides extensive parking for several vehicles and access to the integral garage. Lawn, shrubbery beds and mature trees provide screening and privacy to the front door.
The gravel driveway continues at the side of the property providing access to a rear garden which is predominantly laid to lawn with delightful cobbled patio adjoining the property. A landing bridge provides access to the sitting room.
A charming red brick walled garden features a large expanse of lawn and a heated outdoor swimming pool, framed by a stone patio terrace. The walled garden also includes a pretty timber greenhouse requiring restoration and separate aluminium green house.
To the rear of the walled garden is a paddock ideal for grazing land or rewilding.
