7 bedroom house

An attractive Regency home in the heart of this popular, thriving village.


Description

Within the main residence, there is a useful wing which can be accessed via a third staircase, which certainly lends itself to be used as a self-contained annexe, ideal for a dependant relative or au pair accommodation. In addition to the main house, there is a separately heated cottage attached to the rear of the property, providing further two bedroom accommodation and offering an excellent opportunity to generate income.

The main entrance hall leads to three generous reception rooms on the ground floor, a very spacious farmhouse style kitchen of over 20ft in length, a well proportioned study and utility room. A further garden room, boot room and kitchenette with pantry, provides a very useful space for those who enjoy the countryside and would be regularly entering the house with children or pets.

In total there are five bedrooms on the first floor, with a separate studio room and three bathrooms. There are two further attic rooms on the second floor.

The ornamental gardens to the front of the property have been beautifully laid out and the well established rose gardens provide a burst of colour in the summer months. These gardens extend to a secluded private area to the side of the property and in addition to the enormous gravelled parking area to the front; a second driveway to the side and rear provide space for numerous other vehicles with a garage block providing space for 3 cars, a carport and store. There is also a further double garage and large wood store.

For peaceful enjoyment of the afternoon sunshine, there is a lovely enclosed walled garden with terracing and lawns and a most productive kitchen garden. Keen gardeners will certainly take delight in these grounds and more sporting family members may wish to use the tennis court on the edge of the paddock.

A well loved and cherished family residence offering space, scope to accommodate extended family, and a wealth of period charm.

Please note that the home does require a degree of updating.
