Description:
Garden House was built in 1989 and sits in the conservation area of the village of Bainton.
The open porch provides sheltered access to the front door, through which is a light and bright entrance hall. The solid oak, parquet flooring leads up to a Neville Johnson staircase of oak and glass. Moving to the left is the kitchen-dining room, the QKS kitchen provides ample preparation space on the generous kitchen island. Built-in NEFF appliances throughout consist of; double oven, combi oven, induction hob and hood, and a dishwasher. Storage has been well thought out with swivel corner shelving and a vertical larder. The triple panel window enjoys views across the front garden whilst light pours into the room from the French doors onto the dining area.
Adjacent to the kitchen-diner is a generous utility with stable door onto the rear garden and an array of built-in cupboard space as well as plumbing for a washing machine. An internal door provides access to the double garage, with ample storage space, a workshop area and an additional door to the rear garden.
From the entrance hall to the right is a snug with views over the front garden. Moving along the corridor is an office with beautiful views of the rear garden and ample wall space for shelving.
The sitting room has an impressive stone surround fireplace housing a Morso log burner. The bay window overlooks the lawn to the front whilst French doors lead to the garden room. With lantern roof and exposed stone walls, the garden room boasts panoramic views of the rear garden and further French doors lead to the dining terrace.
Completing the ground floor of Garden House is the cloakroom with WC, sink and heated towel rail. Off the cloakroom is a large cupboard, ideal for coats.
Rising to the first floor, passing the mid-landing window, to the left-hand side of the landing is the dual aspect Principal bedroom with built-in wardrobes and access to a large Jack & Jill bathroom with both bath and separate shower, large vanity unit with sink, WC and heated towel rail.
Opposite the bathroom is a double bedroom with front aspect views. Moving to the right of the landing is a double bedroom, also with front aspect, and access to a Jack & Jill bathroom. The heritage suit comprises bath, separate Mira electric shower, sink, WC and heated towel rail. Opposite this bathroom is a further bedroom with built-in wardrobes enjoying views over the rear garden.
A large room, currently utilised as a games room but previously used as a bedroom, completes the first-floor accommodation. Dual aspect with a large walk-in storage space, this room resides over the garage. This room, combined with the garage below, could have the potential to create an annexe space, subject to planning permission.
Outside:
Garden House, so named as it was once part of the exquisite formal gardens and grounds of Bainton House, certainly lives up to its name. Enclosed by beautiful stone walls, softened by an array of mature shrubs and both a fan-trained apple and pear tree as well as a fig, the formal front lawn abuts the generous gravel driveway.
The driveway draws up to the double garage with two separate barn-style doors. The overhang to the garage provides storage space which is currently utilised as a log store. The double garage also has a workshop area, room for storage and a door through to the rear garden, and an integral door to the utility room.
Sweeping past the front flower beds, brimming with geraniums, a side pathway leads under an ornamental archway before opening into the rear garden.
Nods to the history of the grounds are not only evident in the stunning magnolia grandiflora, providing dappled shade over a seating area, but in the display of well-established roses dating back to the era of Bainton House’s formal grounds. Japanese anemone flourish in abundance along meandering woodland bark pathways that encompass the formal lawn. In spring the flower beds burst with a broad collection of bulbs and hellebores whilst in summer the mauve wisteria drapes across the rear wall and architectural interest continues into the winter months through the stipa grass and hebe. Pockets of the garden can be enjoyed from different seating, especially during various times of the day.
Hugging the rear of the property is a dining terrace beyond which is a raised sleeper bed for growing fruit and vegetables. Two sheds and the bin store nestle down the side access and compost bays are disguised at the rear corner of the garden.
