House For Sale £2,000,000
This delightful six-bedroom country residence sits in approximately 3.6 acres of immaculate gardens and paddocks. The separate pool house has recently been converted into a stylish two-bedroom annexe with indoor pool, steam room and shower.
On the ground floor of the main house the hallway leads into a beamed kitchen with blonde-oak units and a triple-door oil-fired Aga with electric oven and a gas hob.
Off the kitchen is a spacious breakfast room and a further boot room and adjacent downstairs lavatory. There is also a large playroom which could revert to a formal dining room, with an enclosed gas fire.
The entrance hall leads into the large sitting room, which also has a traditional-style gas fire set within an impressive inglenook fireplace. Off the sitting room is a garden room, with an oak beamed vaulted ceiling, windows on three sides with garden views, and French flagstone floor with further gas fire.
From the sitting room a staircase leads to the first floor where there is a double-aspect master bedroom with oak-beamed gable roof, en-suite bathroom and walk-in dressing room with four double wardrobes and built-in dressing table. Of the three further bedrooms, one has en-suite facilities with a family bathroom for the other two with shower and roll top bath.
THE POOL HOUSE
Once used as a large garage, The Pool House has recently been converted into a spacious and stylish two-bedroom annexe with an open plan living area overlooking the indoor heated swimming pool. The kitchen of the Pool House has a double oven, induction hob, fridge freezer and a Perrin Rowe hot water tap. A natural stone staircase leads from the sitting room to a steam room, two changing rooms and two shower rooms, both with their own shower and lavatory.
The property is accessed through timber electric gates into the driveway with a turning circle and a double car port benefitting from a three-phase electric car charging point and a large bin store.
The main house has four sun terraces and a herb garden, while close to the pool house is an orchard of fruit trees and a Victorian-style timber greenhouse. Behind the house is a full-sized tennis court with 2.6m fencing. The Astroturf surface of the tennis court has recently been refurbished.
There is also a substantial barn with separate access from the road, converted into a large gym, open-plan workshop and storeroom. Attached to the barn is an office with four fitted oak desks with high-speed Wi-Fi throughout the property.
