House For Sale £2,000,000
This attractive period country house is thought to date from the 1920s and retains many of the characteristics of that period. The current owner extended the house in 2008/2009 to create a wonderful open plan kitchen/breakfast/family room with doors out to the terrace and garden. Adjacent to the kitchen is a sitting/play room. In addition are three good reception rooms including a drawing room with open fire. To the first floor there is the principal bedroom with walk-in wardrobe, adjacent shower room, together with four further bedrooms and family bathroom. There is further scope subject to any necessary consent to extend over the kitchen.
The majority of the rooms enjoy a delightful southerly aspect over the garden, paddocks and countryside beyond. The property is set well back from the country lane with a good size gravel drive providing ample parking and access to the garaging and stabling. A delightful mature garden lies predominantly to the south of the house, as does the terrace. Within the garden are mature flower beds, fine clipped yew hedges, and to one side of the garden is a sheltered heating swimming pool. Beyond the formal garden there is an area of orchard land and an area of paddock land.
