Situation: The Laurels is a Grade II listed timber framed family home set within the popular village of Baschurch. The property is thought to have been built in 1605 and retains period character and charm throughout with many feature fireplaces, quarry tiled flooring and a host of exposed beams.
On approach to the property you are immediately greeted with an abundance of character with the period and timber framed exterior. Entering into the spacious hall, it leads you through to the main hallway complete with quarry flooring and under-stairs storage. Turning right you enter the kitchen which has been fully renovated and modernised. Featuring an oil Aga, double in-built oven with separate induction hob and integrated dishwasher along with ample storage and a window seat. Heading from the kitchen across the hallway is a utility room with space for a washing machine and tumble dryer along with additional storage. Adjacent is a wet room. Further along is a spacious pantry and an engine room separately contained behind.
The generously-sized open-plan sitting room / dining room boasts Clearview log burners at either end enclosed in large fireplaces framed with Oak beams. A side room which is currently used as a study is situated towards the rear and there is access to both the front and rear gardens. Access to the cellar is obtained towards the rear which leads to a decent sized space which could be used to store wine. At the end of the property is a spacious room currently used as a double office with Coalbrookdale burner. Adjacent is the spacious snug with views of the garden and church along with a Clearview log burner.
The rear staircase is opposite the snug and leads you to a large hallway which covers the length of the house. The first room off the hallway is a family bathroom, followed by a good-sized double bedroom with exposed beams. Adjacent is a vast double bedroom with fireplace feature and dual aspect views. There are two further double bedrooms along the hallway. At the far end is a spacious gallery landing with a staircase to the ground floor. A generous double bedroom (currently used as the master) and a large family bathroom complete the upstairs.
Three large garages are at the top of the driveway with the smallest previously used as a gig room for carriage storage along with a stable block to the rear which has potential to be converted subject to planning permission. A wrap around garden mostly laid to lawn with feature flower beds and trees surrounds the property. At the rear of the garden is a detached pool house featuring the indoor heated swimming pool, sauna and changing rooms. An outdoor entertaining area is located to the front of the pool house.
