House For Sale £795,000
High House is a period property with origins believed to date back 400 years at the rear of the house. The south facing frontage is Georgian, with sandstone dressings and large sash windows that create a light and airy living space. It offers spacious family accommodation that has been updated by the current owners including a refitted kitchen in 2014, a garden room accessed from the kitchen, reconfigured and refitted bathrooms in 2018 and general cosmetic updating.
Original features include large sash windows, window seats, high ceilings, panelled and rustic ledged doors, original fireplaces, picture rails and ceiling roses.
The handsome Georgian double frontage has stone steps leading up to the solid front door that has a wonderful ornate surround and a fan light above. It opens to the entrance hall with stone floor tiles that extend through into the kitchen and garden room. Off the entrance hall is a door to the cellar and to each of the two reception rooms, which are identical in size and both have a working fireplace.
The focal point to the large kitchen/dining room is a fine Inglenook fireplace housing a multi-fuel stove on a slate hearth, two recessed log stores and at the side are some traditional built-in cupboards.
The fitted kitchen has a Belfast sink, solid wood worktops and a central island. There are two matching kitchen dressers that are available by separate negotiation. Appliances include a four oven oil-fired Aga and integrated appliances include a fan assisted electric oven, induction hob, fridge and dishwasher.
The kitchen flows through to a light and airy garden room with a ceiling lantern and French doors opening to the garden.
Off the kitchen is a door to a small lobby with flagstone floor and a stable door opening to the garden. From here is a door to the large utility/boot room with a quarry tiled floor and a door to the cloakroom. It offers space for a number of additional appliances including an American fridge freezer, washing machine and tumble dryer.
Upstairs on the first floor is a multi-level study landing. The principal bedroom has a traditional feature fireplace and steps down to the en suite with a large shower enclosure that has a rainfall shower head. There are two further double bedrooms with built-in wardrobes that are served by a large contemporary family bathroom with a freestanding claw foot bath and a double shower with rainfall and handheld shower heads.
On the top floor are two double eaves bedrooms.
The secure, mainly south and west facing, lawned gardens wrap around the house allowing the all-day sunshine to be enjoyed, with a tall hedge creating privacy.
Adjacent to the rear entrance door is a newly laid multi-level paved terrace that is south facing and offers a superb spot for al fresco dining or just soaking up the sun on a summer's day.
Off Monks Way, the private drive (the neighbouring house known as The Galley has a right of way over it) leads to timber double gates that open to gravel parking and a traditional brick open bay garage with an attached garden store.
Throughout the gardens are a range of mature trees and strategically planted borders of evergreen and perennial plants creating all-year round interest and colour.
