House For Sale £1,325,000
Dating back to the 16th century this quintessential Tudor home offers an exceptional example of modern life in a period property. Set back from the road in the picturesque village of Pirbright and encompassed by the tranquillity of its own blissful grounds; timber beams, inglenook fireplaces and tiled floors are just some of the original features that allow Newmans House to retain an undeniable amount of charm and character.
From the original Tudor tiles of the front porch and the catslip roof of the utility room to the vaulted ceilings, and remains of the bread ovens and smoke chambers, there are a breath-taking amount of period features to map this Pirbright home through the ages.
Originally built as a Greenwood oak-frame with wattle and daub, it's thought that Newmans House was once strongly connected to the nearby Manor. Today, behind its distinguished red brick facade the exposed beams of the notably high ceilings and the timber framed walls that flow throughout the house add a breath-taking backdrop to each room.
Instantly capturing your imagination and attention, a duo of magnificent inglenook fireplaces with their original seating and bread oven create stunning focal points to two superb double aspect reception rooms. Generating a wealth of space to relax and entertain, whilst the superior proportions of the drawing room produce a truly special place to spend time together, the elegant dining room is perfect for large family gatherings. Adding a great sense of space the timber framework of an original wall allows you to see and walk into the triple aspect kitchen/breakfast room where granite countertops give a contemporary twist to the sympathetically-styled solid oak cabinets, butler sink and Aga. A side door makes it easy to step outside and enjoy al fresco meals, and the adjoining original washroom now creates a convenient utility room with a stable door that opens onto the courtyard garden. Accessed from the drawing room, a study with a wood burning stove offers an idyllic work from home space, and a cloakroom completes this utterly charming ground floor.
The grace and grandeur of this period home continues upstairs where five double bedrooms pepper the upper two storeys giving a wonderful amount of flexible family accommodation. With its large arched open fireplace, crisp white walls and timber beams, the main bedroom supplies a supremely peaceful retreat. A walk-in dressing area has ample storage within tasteful fitted wardrobes, while an en suite shower room adds a touch of luxury with its rich wood floor and monsoon shower. Across the hallway a second bedroom has an arched open fireplace of its own, and a third bedroom looks out over the verdant rear garden. Cleverly designed to sit effortlessly within its period surroundings the sleek contemporary suite of the family bathroom includes a fabulous freestanding oval bath and a walk-in shower. Upstairs, beneath the beams of tall vaulted ceilings two further bedrooms have plenty of versatility, one featuring a range of fitted wardrobes and a newly fitted en suite bathroom.
The butler's bell system, remains of the smoke house and traces of the original mullion windows all provides a final reminder of the history and heritage of this significant home.
Set back from the road opposite the natural beauty of Swallows Pond, the wide sweeping driveway leads up to the enchanting setting of Newmans House and together with the double garage has off-road parking for several vehicles.
Encompassed by approximately an acre of gardens and grounds, this historic home has a fantastic feeling of privacy and seclusion. Bordered by light woodland the vibrant hues of mature rhododendrons, azaleas, magnolia and Portuguese laurel add colour and interest throughout the year, while a selection of fruit trees yield apples, figs and quince. Its large established lawns provide an enviable amount of tranquil outdoor space to relax in the sun, and a paved courtyard and terrace supply ideal vantage points to admire your home.
