5 bedroom house

Built in 1913, this Edwardian, detached house has been extended over the years (both in the 1920s and 1990s), doubling its size into a spacious five bedroom family home. It's in immaculate condition, with some historic features including carved banisters and fireplace surround, double glazing and a new Worcester gas boiler.

Inside, the hallway has stairs to the left, to the right is the living room with triple-aspect windows and a woodburner in fireplace. The dining room can be reached from the hall and also through glass doors from the kitchen/breakfast room. Here, the island unit houses the Neff hob, with extractor above it, and kitchen units run along two walls. A ceramic sink is positioned under the east-facing window looking onto a garden terrace, which can be accessed from both the kitchen and the adjacent utility room.

Upstairs, the landing runs both left and right along the width of the building. To the right (south), there are two good-sized double bedrooms, a study (or bedroom 6) and a shower room. The larger bedroom has dual aspect windows and its own sink; the study has a fitted desk and shelving units along two walls. On the other side of the landing, three more bedrooms, some with period fireplaces and built-in storage, offer flexible accommodation. There's also a spacious family bathroom and a shower room.

The land Dryfields is built on is thought to have originally been an orchard and part of the land belonging to the nearby Manor House. Approached via a private road (there is shared maintenance with the five houses it allows access to), Dryfields has a stone driveway with space for four large cars and gardens that surround the property on all sides, fencing forming the perimeter.

A few steps down from the drive lead to the front, west-facing terrace where awning can be extended over the outside dining area. A paved path leads round the side of the house, passed a rockery area, to the rear terrace where there's a small pond and seating area that can be accessed from the kitchen.

An arched walkway, with Box hedging, flows through one area of the garden to another, past a fern garden under an Ash tree, leading to another pond with a raised wall. Here, there's a gazebo with seating and intertwined with a grapevine. There are mature shrubs and several apple and mulberry trees and a Sycamore. The Swallow, Cedarwood greenhouse is just two years old and there's also a shed tucked away behind fencing.

In all approximately 0.21 of an acre. EPC: D.
