Dingle House is situated in a lovely hidden setting, off East Dundry Lane, commanding superb south facing 180 degree views over a gentle valley of adjoining farmland.
The house looks over its delightful terraced gardens and paddock. A stone terrace outside the front elevation is adorned with an old Wisteria. To the north is a copse.
Dingle House is charming. It is believed to date from 1720 and was added to in more recent years. It retains many features appropriate to the period including fireplaces, panelled doors with fluted architraves, shuttered windows, arched recesses with scalloped shelves, moulded skirting boards, and beamed ceilings. The rooms are of comfortable ceiling height and there is a lovely warm and friendly atmosphere. The drawing room and dining room are well proportioned rooms of character. Both rooms, as does the garden room, have extensive views overlooking the garden and valley. The kitchen/breakfast room has an Aga and opens to a west facing stone terrace. The study is located off the reception hall.
On the first floor are six bedrooms all with views, either with distant views or overlooking its gardens and grounds. There are two bathrooms and a shower room.
Outside
Dingle House is approached over a private road which gives access to its long drive, passing its copse with an outbuilding on the south side. The drive continues to a parking area on the east side of the house and to a detached double garage. Beyond the garage is a substantial timber outbuilding.
The well established gardens and grounds are a delight. They have been designed as a classic English garden for all year round interest and colour with beds and borders planted with a large variety of old shrubs, flowering and ornamental plants. Climbing shrubs include a number of roses, Honeysuckle and a grapevine.
There is a stone terrace immediately in front of the front elevation with superb wide open views. There are terraced lawns with old stone steps and pathways connecting the shallow levels. Stone and lawn pathways meander through the garden and there are high stone walls against which are espalier apple and pear. Mature trees around the garden and paddock include Walnut, Copper Beech, Mulberry, Weeping Pear and Silver Birch, Red Oak, Weeping Hornbeam, Acacia, and a Magnolia. Fruit trees include pear, apple and plum.
There is a kitchen garden with separate soft fruit area.
Further outbuildings include an attractive stone and tiled summer house with superb views over the gardens and valley lying to the west on the terrace and a stone and tiled former Wendy house with store room and w.c., lying to the east.
The paddock adjoins the garden to the south. It is accessed through old wrought iron gates and adjoins farmland. A stream forms the southern boundary.
In all the property amounts to about 2.96 acres.
Rights of Way
A footpath crosses over the drive at the rear of the house from the west and continues to the east away from and outside of the formal gardens. The footpath is not visible from the gardens.
