House For Sale £1,250,000
This beautifully presented, most luxurious New England style property, which enjoys a rural yet accessible location, began life as a Victorian cottage. Since then, it has been cleverly extended, exquisitely styled and given a layout that is not only perfect for modern day flexible family life, but would also offer the potential for dual occupancy if desired. In addition to the main house, there are a number of outbuildings including a stable block comprising 4 boxes, currently used for storage and workshop space. The property also benefits from a driveway providing extensive amounts of off-street parking, an attached garage and a separate double gated access with hard standing behind which gives access to the stables and land beyond. Viewing is highly recommended to appreciate all that this wonderful property has to offer.

A path leads you through the more formal gardens to a lower level which is laid mainly to grass for the enjoyment of children. A large natural pond is a magnet for wildlife and if you want to keep your own animals (the current vendors have pigmy goats), then there is a stable block with hard standing to the front. Double gates next to the stable block give access to this area from the main road. The remainder of the land rolls gently up from the garden and is mostly meadowland which is bordered at the top by farmland and open countryside. A gate gives access to many good walks. Nb: There is a fenced off public footpath which runs down the side of the meadow and forms part of the land that belongs to this property.
