A Grade II listed, Quintessential Regency house, privately situated in this popular conservation village.
Description
A handsome Grade II Listed Regency family home, with some lovely period features. Situated in the heart of this pretty village, but entirely private and enjoying wonderful, far-reaching views of the surrounding countryside all the way to the White Horse. The property comprises of the main house, also incorporating an adjoining cottage, which could be used as a separate dwelling if required.
An imposing stone porch leads into a handsome entrance hall, from which the primary rooms of the house lead. The drawing room is dual-aspect, with large windows, original shutters and an open fire; a large bay window has a charming window seat overlooking the garden. A glazed door leads into the garden room. The dual-aspect library, with bespoke fitted bookshelves, wood-burning stove and original shutters, is used as a more informal sitting room.
The dining room is perfect for larger lunch or dinner parties, whilst more informal entertaining can take place in the sunny breakfast room overlooking the sheltered courtyard. The kitchen/breakfast room boasts an AGA, fitted cupboards, integrated appliances and granite work surfaces. A study, butler’s pantry with original cabinetry, cloakroom and separate lavatory are all accessible from the main entrance hall and, from the back hall, a boot room/lavatory and a back kitchen/utility, with door onto the orchard. There are extensive cellars.
Upstairs, the light-filled landing has spectacular, far-reaching countryside views across to The Ridgeway, as do the two primary bedroom suites. The principal bedroom has a large en suite bathroom, with roll-top bath and the second bedroom suite has a shower room. There are three further large double bedrooms, a linen room, two family bathrooms and a separate lavatory. Stairs lead up to an attic room, with potential to create an additional bedroom (subject to the relevant consents).
An ‘in and out’ gravel driveway sweeps round to the front of the house, overlooking the lawns, deep herbaceous borders and a spectacular Judas tree. The garden boasts far-reaching views over surrounding countryside and farmland. A wonderful walled garden encloses a boules court, recently built greenhouse, extensive vegetable beds, fruit cages and herb beds. Borders of sweet peas and roses are under-planted with tulips. There is also a ‘secret garden’ with paved paths winding through the planting to a hidden seating area.
The property has a potting shed and an impressive Granary, which provides a fun party space, with Billiards table and traditional curved bar in one corner. There is also a substantial range of traditional timber barns, with cobbled floors, that have tremendous potential to be converted into an annex, holiday let or party barn (subject to the required consents). In 2003, planning permission (now lapsed) was granted on the barns for “Alterations to curtilage listed building to allow conversion to residential use.” There are further uses for these buildings, subject to planning permission.
