House For Sale £1,395,000
Situation
A prominent and elegant Grade II listed three storey, Georgian fronted house in the heart of a desirable village. It is wonderfully proportioned and has very well-presented accommodation that is light and airy, by way of the large sash windows. There are high ceilings throughout.
The panelled front door has a fine surround and the rear door, which is mostly used, has a pillared pitched roof porch. Both open to the central entrance hall, off which is a cloakroom and a door to the cellar.
The elegant drawing room features a living flame gas fire and surround, decorative coving and built-in cupboards and bookshelves with a central niche for a television.
The fitted kitchen has quartz worktops, integrated dishwasher and a Britannia dual fuel range cooker with an extractor hood above. Oak floors in the kitchen flow through to the open plan dining room that has a fine Inglenook fireplace housing a wood burning stove set on quarry floor tiles. The oak floor continues through into the utility room that has a Belfast sink, space and plumbing for a stacked washing machine and tumble dryer and space for a fridge freezer.
The study/snug flows through to the large conservatory that allows a view of the leafy garden to be enjoyed. It has two sets of French doors; one set are framed by a glass pitched roof porch set on pillars and the other set open to a paved terrace above which is an eye-catching glass pitched roof gazebo, set on pillars.
A wide staircase leads to a spacious first floor landing. The principal bedroom has an en suite shower room with a double basin vanity unit and granite top. There are three further bedrooms on this floor, one of which is in use as a dressing room and is fitted out with wardrobes, drawers and a dressing table. The family bathroom offers a bath and separate shower enclosure.
On the top floor are two double bedrooms, one of which has an en suite shower room.
Annexe
There is a detached annexe that comprises a large living room with French doors and offers space for a kitchenette to be installed. There is a door off the living room to a shower room with a double shower and a ladder leads up to a mezzanine bed or alternatively a storage area. The annexe also offers scope to be used as a home office.
Outside
Wrought iron double gates set on brick pillars open to driveway parking and there is also a pedestrian gate.
The rear, south facing garden is very leafy and private. There is an expanse of lawn and a range of mature trees, including a majestic lime tree that is subject to a Tree Preservation Order. There are also a range of mature evergreen and perennial plants providing all-year round interest and colour.
An upper terrace to the rear of the annexe includes gravel paths that lead to a useful timber garden shed and a circular paved terrace set under a charming octagonal pitched roof gazebo.
