DESCRIPTION

Green Gables is a beautiful, detached property of rendered brick under a pantiled roof, designed and built by the present owners almost 30 years ago. Meticulous planning, considerable imagination and attention to detail have created a beautiful home.

A wide oak front door opens into the entrance hall, with sitting room off to the right and staircase straight ahead to the first floor. There is also a trapdoor, with staircase leading down to the cellar. The cellar offers dry storage and has a door opening out to the garden. The sitting room enjoys triple aspect views over the garden and offers the benefit of a wood burning stove with back boiler, that provides additional domestic hot water. The kitchen/dining room sits open plan to the sitting room, and has a wonderful, vaulted ceiling with the first-floor mezzanine galleried landing overlooking. French doors open through to the adjoining garden room, which is of steel-framed construction with glass panels. A double set of doors open out onto a bridge, under which is a pond with water feature. The garden room gives the illusion of an outside area that beautifully connects the living space to the outside. The kitchen features a range of American Oak built-in cabinets, with elm worktops, built-in oven, gas hob (Calor Gas), and ample space for freestanding appliances.

Off to the left of the entrance hall is a door leading through to what could be a separate self-contained annexe, if desired. There is a spacious sitting room with French doors opening out to the front of the property, with an archway leading through to the kitchen. The kitchen features a range of built-in cabinets and there is ample space for freestanding appliances. The large double bedroom enjoys an aspect to the front of the property and the bathroom offers a bath, bidet, wash hand basin and WC.

The staircase leads up to a mezzanine gallery landing which looks down on to the kitchen/dining area and enjoys a view of the garden through the adjoining glass garden room. The main bedroom is spacious and enjoys dual aspect views to the front and west side of the property. There is a walk-in wardrobe, with stairs up to the attic space. Bedroom 2 is another good-sized room, also with a view to the front of the property and taking advantage of the borrowed far-reaching countryside views. The family bathroom incorporates a bath, bidet, wash hand basin, WC and heated towel rail, and enjoys views over the neighbouring paddocks.

There is a vegetable garden with a nearby well, which has had a pump installed for watering the garden.

Within the grounds there is a large shed on a concrete pad that has been created into an excellent workshop space. There is also a greenhouse, a potting shed, and a large store that houses the oil tank.
