House For Sale £725,000
This pretty and very well positioned Grade II listed red brick and hamstone house is approached through a small wrought iron gate from the village green, with a small path that leads towards a timber porch and front door. Upon entering the house, it is clear to see that this property has been much loved by the current owners, who have a keen eye for interior design. With an equally impressive attention to detail, they have managed to enhance the traditional, historic and original features, providing a harmonious blend with the more modern touches presented throughout.
The entrance hall, with flagstone floors, leads seamlessly through to the centre of the house with dining room and sitting room doors to the left and right and onto the garden room beyond. The bright dual aspect sitting room enjoys views of the gardens, and the fireplace with sandstone surround and inset wood burner, provides an excellent focal point ensuring this is a particularly cosy space and an excellent room for entertaining. The garden room, which spills out onto the paved terrace, is light and bright, ideal for enjoying the morning sunshine, or simply to admire the immaculate and ever changing seasonal garden.
The kitchen is full of character with a 2 oven gas AGA (blue), fitted cream shaker style base and wall units, integrated Bosch oven and induction hob under beech worktops. This eminently functional theme continues into a substantial utility room which is adjacent, as is a boot room with dual back doors leading out to the village at the front and garden to the rear.
From the entrance and garden room, stairs rise to the first floor where there are three immensely characterful bedrooms, the principal of which has dual aspect windows and an ensuite bathroom with both rolltop bathtub and separate shower. Two further double bedrooms and a family shower room complete the picture. There is alternative access to the first floor via a staircase from the utility room.
The impression is a charming period home in a delightful village which would make a wonderful primary or secondary home in an exceptionally convenient location.
OUTSIDE
One of the real surprises of this house is the delightful private walled garden to the rear, with large lawn and impressive borders which offers a high degree of privacy and seclusion. They are well stocked with a variety of herbaceous plants, shrubs and trees. An impressive mature wisteria flourishes against the back garden wall and an abundance of roses and quince at the front of the house provide a most attractive aspect. The garden is a real suntrap and is a haven for many woodland and garden birds. The large paved terrace abutting the rear of the house provides excellent space for entertaining and is a place from where one can enjoy the evening sun. A double garage can be found at the end of the gravel driveway towards the end of the garden.
LOCATION
Long Sutton is an idyllic village centred around its green, with pretty cottages and houses representing most periods of architecture from thatched cottages to manor houses.

The heart of the village is a conservation area in which a policy of strict planning controls exists to protect its character; the centre of this pretty village has a delightful village green and fields adjoining the church.
