5 bedroom house

Delightful refurbished Grade II listed family house in a country lane setting with views over surrounding farmland


Description

Morry House is a delightful Grade II listed family home understood to date in part from the late 17th century with 19th century additions, situated in an elevated position amidst southerly facing gardens with lovely far reaching views over neighbouring farmland.
This property has been extensively and sympathetically refurbished to a very high standard by the current owner.
Morry House benefits from a wealth of exposed timbers and beams, good ceiling heights to the majority of rooms, quarry tiled floors, casement and sash windows, fireplaces to the main reception rooms and wood burning stove to the sitting room.

The reception rooms comprise the south facing drawing room with open fire and French doors leading to a paved terrace; the double aspect sitting room with wood burning stove and views over the garden, an impressive and well-proportioned dining room with inglenook fireplace and a study with open fireplace. Completing the ground floor accommodation is the spacious contemporary kitchen/breakfast room, larder, utility room, cloakroom and entrance hall.
Two separate staircases lead to the first floor where there are four double bedrooms, all with contemporary en suites. On the second floor there is an attic bedroom of excellent proportions with an en suite shower room and access to eaves storage.

The attractive gardens, lying to the east, south and west, feature gently sloping lawns and mature trees and shrubs. There are two paved terraces to the west and east of the house, a swimming pool with further sun terraces and a studio/garden room.

The property is accessed by electrically operated double gates leading to a parking and turning area for several vehicles and there is also garaging with further parking to the front.

Agent’s Note:
There is a right of access over the drive for access to Morry Lodge and the farmland to the rear of the property.
