A truly stunning home
Situated on the edge of town, within a couple of minutes walk of the market square, Green Close, originally the doctors' surgery, is an impressive and charming Edwardian property.
Since the current owners' purchase in 2018, the property has undergone a comprehensive programme of upgrading and refurbishment which has included: significant work to the roof including new lead work, refurbishing of the chimneys and rainwater goods, new double glazed windows and external doors, redecoration throughout both inside and out, a new Aquajade bathroom, new flooring in many rooms, a security alarm and a fabulous cinema room on the second floor.
With an approximate gross internal area of 4983 sq ft (462.9 sq m) the accommodation is light and bright with a flexible layout. Finished to an exceptional standard with high-quality fixtures and fittings, it's beautifully presented with sumptuous interiors.
Modern conveniences sit well with character features including decorative plasterwork mouldings (cornice, architraves, dado rail), striking wooden fire surround in the sitting room, period fireplaces as well as leaded and stained windows and doors.
The property is entered through a welcoming and spacious reception hall housing an impressive double-height staircase. From here walk into the drawing room - an atmospheric room with an open fire and attractively crafted wooden surround. There is a large bay with panelled window seat and lovely garden views. Across the hall you will find the sitting room (or dining room if you prefer) having an open fire with Adams fireplace, over-mantle mirror and blue-tiled inset. French windows set into a large bay lead out to the terrace.
The sociable dining kitchen is a fabulous light and bright space being dual aspect and with a large lantern window. The kitchen is fitted with a comprehensive range of base and wall units with marble and slate worktops, matching circular island with breakfast bar, gas Aga with electric module and integral appliances. There is also a useful open-fronted pantry and a boiler room.
Stone steps lead down to a cellar room and wine store, both with stone benches.
Also off the hall there is a practical boot room, through to a laundry/utility room with fitted base and wall units and twin sinks.
An inner hall leads to the 'east wing' where there are two further rooms currently used as an office/hobby room and a gym/yoga room. There is also an ante room and cloakroom. This side of the property can also be accessed directly from Main Street. therefore could create an annexe for a dependent relative or for letting, if so desired. In fact, with a second set of stairs at this end of the house, the whole property could be split if a house was sought for multi-generational living.
The first floor is approached by two staircases. The main staircase has a leaded bay with window seat and leads to the main landing, off which is the principal bedroom suite with dressing room with fitted wardrobes and shower room. There are three further doubles, all with fitted furniture and one with en suite shower room. The contemporary four piece house bathroom is stylishly fitted with a copper roll top bath, separate shower, vanity wash basin and two feature radiators.
To the second floor there are two bedrooms (a double and a single) and a shower room - perfect for a teenager's pad. Bedroom 5, with fitted wardrobes is currently used as a cinema room equipped with state of the art sound, lighting and projection systems installed by by Majik House - children and adults alike will love it!
Outside space
Wrought iron gates lead to a large limestone flagged and cobbled courtyard bounded by deep planted borders and providing parking for several cars. The double garage has electric up and over doors, power and light. There is a fuel store as well as a bin store to the rear.
The main garden lies to the south of the property enjoying all day sun. This is an absolute delight, walled and enclosed, safe for children and dogs and a haven in the centre of town. A flagged terrace runs the whole length of the property and is accessed from the sitting room, staircase hall and the gym. Stone steps lead from the terrace to a beautifully manicured level lawn and a Grade II Listed folly (more information on page 7) which provides an enchanting sheltered place to sit and enjoy the garden. There are several seating areas, a decked area with wooden garden pod, garden storage shed, well-stocked borders, mature trees and a splendid topiary hedge.
In all, c. 0.40 acres 0.16 hectares
Please don't take our word for it, come along and see this stunning property for yourself.
