House For Sale £750,000
Coming to the market for the first time in over 25 years, Hortons are delighted to introduce Goutherns House, a beautiful Grade II Listed cottage offered with a wealth of history & charm.
Boasting five bedrooms, and three reception rooms, this property offers a large amount of living accommodation that is arranged over three storeys, and benefitting further from a large summer house at the foot of the garden.
The house is of historic importance to the village, with many suggesting it is one of the oldest, if not the oldest buildings in North Newington, with many original & period features on show.
The house has a welcoming, warm feel to it having been a well-loved family home for over 25 years, and whilst being of a certain period, it certainly has enough modern touches to ensure daily life is easy & convenient.
The driveway has space for three vehicles, on a gravelled off road driveway, leading to a side-gate for the garden, and barn style front door entering into the entrance lobby.
Entrance lobby having space for coats & boots, with practical built-in storage cupboard.
The kitchen has a range of eye and base level units within a shaker style suite, plumbing under counter for dish washer, one and half ceramic sink with mixer tap over, subway tile splashback areas, integrated oven and grill, four ring hob, dual aspect with windows to side and front aspects, built-in breakfast bar, doors leading to sitting room, dining room, study, cloak and utility.
The sitting room is wonderful space, where the character of the house really shines. Features including the large inglenook fireplace, bread oven (not in use), window seat, exposed beams and Georgian shutters to name a few. There is ample space for lounge furniture, wall mounted radiator and built-in bespoke shelving.
Throughout the property, the exposed beams have undergone extensive specialist treatment works.
The dining room has space for large dining table and chairs, and is dual aspect with window to side aspect, and doors opening onto the ground level garden patio.
The study is a useful space, having ample space for office furniture, but is flexible in it's use to suit your requirements. There are shutters looking through into the sitting room, and door leading to the rear garden.
The utility and cloakroom area is a very practical space, having space under counter for white goods, and door to w/c & wash basin.
The first floor comprises of spacious landing with high ceilings, three bedrooms, family bathroom, ensuite to master, and practical built in storage cupboards. Bedrooms one and four are double bedrooms, with bedroom five being a fair sized single room. Bedroom one has large built in wardrobes, and door to ensuite, again a good sized space with w/c, wash basin, and bathtub with tile splashback area. There are field views from bedrooms one and four, and views over the elevated gardens from bedroom five, which is currently being used an office space.
The second floor consists of two further double bedrooms.
The garden is one of the standout features of this home, as seen in the photographs.
There are numerous 'sections' to the garden, but all seamlessly tying in together to create a truly wonderful outdoor space, enjoyed by all age ranges.
At ground level, to the side of the property, is an area ideal for dining or entertaining guests. There is a wood store, shed, concealed oil tank, gate to front aspect, space for table and chairs, and a real sun trap.
Immediately off the back of the property is a large patio area, with ample seating space enclosed via ancient stone walls. relics of cottages that used to be, amongst raised sleeper beds with established and matured planted borders. There is an Italian/ Mediterranean feel to the area, with steps rising to a further dining/ bbq'ing area as seen in the photos.
There are then another set of steps that lead into the large lawned, treed area of the garden, which is amazingly private and feels like your own little well kept forest; the sound of the birds is so peaceful.
Tucked away at the end of the garden is a large summerhouse, which would be a home workers dream, having power sockets, lighting, internet points and insulation, this would make a superb study, annexe, playhouse etc...
