5 bedroom house

Set in a mature and private plot extending to a a little over 2 acres, this charming Grade II listed family home dates back to the 17th Century and has recently been the subject of a comprehensive programme of refurbishment. The property has been transformed into a beautiful family home that retains period features such as fireplaces, flagstone floors and sash windows, combining them with stunning modern interior design and high quality finishes throughout.

Set back from the lane behind a sweeping carriage driveway and a mature frontage, a formal and pretty frontage gives way to the house. There is also a secondary access to the side of the property that leads to plenty of parking, access to the studio, the gardens and the paddock.

Significantly bigger than the first impression gives off, the house is much deeper than it is wide having evolved over time. The accommodation is principally over two floors but there is also easy access to the second floor which has been converted to create a flexible living space that is currently used as a cinema room.

Comprising the sitting room and a first floor bedroom, the front of the house is thought to be Georgian given its formal appearance, finer features and proportions. A hallway from the front door leads through to a further reception room in what would have been the original part of the house. A large ingle-nook creates an impressive focal point and fitted with a wood burner becomes a cosy room to retreat to.

The kitchen is a stunning open plan room with clearly defined areas that link seamlessly with the west facing garden via bi-folding doors. This superb family space (with under floor heating) stretches from a snug/sitting area on one side (complete with a wood burner) across to a dining area and the kitchen, defined by the large kitchen island.

A utility room, cloakroom and another practical boot room complete the ground floor.

Upstairs, at opposite ends of the house, there are two principal bedrooms with beautifully appointed en-suite bathrooms, two further bedrooms and a luxury family bathroom. As previously mentioned, a second floor room could be used as an occasional bedroom if required. but is currently a cinema room.

The gardens face west at the rear which means the terrace and kitchen enjoy glorious sunsets. The pretty gardens stretch back past a dew pond to the paddock which is currently un-fenced.

A former agricultural building has been converted into a naturally light, versatile and contemporary studio space complete with under floor heating, toilet facilities and an internet connection.

To the front of the property, there is a charming two storey stone barn which is ripe for conversion subject to the necessary consents. The sellers have had plans drawn up for a one bedroom dwelling but have not submitted them to the planning authority.

2. The house was listed in March 1987.
3. No onward chain.
