House For Sale £1,500,000
The orientation of the house has changed over the years with the 20th Century gabled addition creating a new entrance hall. The original hall and lodge rooms with decorative cornicing provide excellent space for multiple uses and are linked by a dual aspect wood burner set in a central fireplace. These rooms could easily serve as a relative suite as just across the hall is a superb, marble tiled bathroom that includes a circular Jacuzzi bath, separate walk-in shower, bidet, washbasin and WC. This substantial Late Georgian home was given Listed status in 1986 and has been well maintained by the current owners. The character has been retained in many respects with French doors opening out onto the expansive front terrace from the double aspect drawing room and dining room. The split-level entrance hall leads into the original hall and doors open to all reception rooms, with an easy rising staircase to the first floor. The drawing room has a central fireplace and a wall of storage. The dining room also features a fireplace and leads to the kitchen/breakfast room with a comprehensive array of fitted cabinets, storage and a recess for a Range cooker with a tiled floor. On the spacious and well-lit first floor, the main bedroom is part vaulted with a cloakroom and a raised area featuring a bath and eaves storage. The guest bedroom benefits from a half tiled en-suite bathroom with the three further bedrooms having use of a modern fitted shower room and a separate WC.
Outside
The gardens are a delightful element of this fine home and provide an extremely tranquil ambience. From the sweeping gravel drive, steps ascend to the full width terrace across the front of the house with stone balustrade. To the side is a lawn with a garden house and access across the rear and side of the house. To the front is an enclosed and extremely beautiful, natural garden with water feature and surrounding specimen planting including Acers and mature trees. This area is an oasis within the established grounds to enjoy and relax. The drive leads to a double width garage with a further store/workshop alongside. To the rear of this is a usable under croft that houses the recently updated oil fired boiler.
