House For Sale £2,500,000
The White House is a wonderful example of a village house set within very special gardens. The house is reputed to have Queen Anne origins with a Georgian addition to the front and later Edwardian additions.
The house is approached into the entrance hall with all three reception rooms leading off. Both the drawing room and sitting room have fireplaces and of note is the dining room, which is a very special room having been panelled, with a fireplace and decorative ceiling. The kitchen/breakfast room, which is the hub of the house, has a gas Aga and the most recent addition, being the orangery with two sets of double doors leading out onto the rear terrace. Of note also is the pantry and cellar.
A fine balustraded staircase leads to the first floor where the principal suite has an en suite dressing room and bathroom. On the first floor are a further four bedrooms and a family bathroom. Stairs then rise to the second floor, where there are a further two bedrooms.
On the westerly side of the house is the annexe with its own independent door. This offers great opportunities for ancillary accommodation or potentially working from home. Situated between the annexe and the house is the double garage.
The White House is approached into a paved driveway with parking to the front of the garage.
Immediately to the front of the house, accessed through wrought iron gates, is a York stone garden area beautifully planted with box hedging, lavender and well-stocked flower and shrub borders. Side access leads to the walled and private rear gardens, where running along the back of the house is a substantial York stone terrace with an ornamental water feature and a well.
The gardens which were designed by Anthony Paul, provide a very classical walled garden
environment. Two sets of steps lead up to the raised lawn area with an ornamental pond, bordered on either side by well-stocked flower and shrub borders, mature specimen trees and high brick walls. Running down the centre is a York stone walkway with a series of decorative Hawthorn trees on either side.
Tucked in one corner is a loggia providing a lovely seating area. Access through another substantial brick wall and wrought iron gate, leads through to the very productive vegetable garden with a greenhouse. The gardens have been designed to provide a number of pathways with some delightful
areas to sit and enjoy the surroundings.
