Description
Saddlebow is an extremely attractive home located adjacent to Chipperfield Common and has been in the same family for over 50 years. We understand that the original central part of the
house is likely to date back to the 16th century, with later
additions in the 17th century. More recently it has been sympathetically restored to create a wonderful home and yet offers scope to improve both the kitchen/breakfast room and bathrooms.
There is current planning permission to extend both the ground and first floors at the rear, creating a larger kitchen/breakfast room and a fifth double bedroom with en suite – Ref: 19/02810/fha.
Saddlebow is gated and approached through a locally listed brick and flint wall. Once inside, the drive leads you beyond the house to a hidden parking area and the main gardens of this fine home.
Saddlebow offers immense character and an ideal location for the cricket enthusiast being adjacent to the Cricket Club on
Chipperfield Common plus having a fully enclosed professional cricket net at the end of the garden.
The house opens into a lovely reception hall with a feature
fireplace and doors which lead to the principal reception rooms. The beautiful drawing room is quadruple aspect and has an open stone fireplace – ideal for cosy winter evenings and also a lovely place to sit and relax at the end of the long day with a glass of wine. Tucked away behind the door is a recessed drinks cupboard! The formal dining room overlooks the front garden and features a quarry tiled floor and beams. It is open to a useful study. The kitchen/breakfast room is triple aspect and ready for refurbishment yet works well as it is with a comprehensive range of built-in wall and floor cupboards and double oven.
The breakfast room is double aspect and affords views over
both the front and back garden. Off the breakfast room is a useful boot/utility room.
On the first floor the landing opens into a peaceful and relaxing dual aspect library area with feature beamed walls to the inner landing which is also beamed and has useful storage and linen
cupboards. The principal bedroom is triple aspect and features a lovely west facing window seat and an excellent range of built-in drawers and wardrobes. There are three further double bedrooms all with characterful features in their own right and there is a good sized bathroom and separate shower room.
Outside
Set behind gates and with a beautiful walled frontage, the gardens together with a sweeping driveway round to the carport offer a great setting for this fine iconic village home.
The gardens to the front are laid to lawn with attractive stocked borders and mature trees. On the other side of a flint wall and pleached hedge is the rear garden which offers a great al fresco dining area – ideal for both formal and informal entertaining. The remainder of the garden is to lawn with trees of various ages including rows of birch and conifer to the left
boundary and a beech hedge to the right boundary. There is a professional enclosed cricket net for the discerning cricketer at the end. Saddlebow also benefits from a double carport, a log store and a long garden shed tucked under the hedge too.
There is current planning permission (Ref: 19/02535/fha) to remodel the wooden garden shed in brick and tile too.
There is a TPO on the stately Atlas Cedar which sits over
the middle of the plot.
