6 bedroom detached house for sale

A fine Grade II listed early Victorian detached property with later extensions providing a spacious and adaptable family home located in the heart of a picturesque and desirable village.

Description

The Cedars is a fine Grade II listed early Victorian detached property dated circa 1840 with later extensions, sympathetically modernised and beautifully presented yet retaining much of its original charm and character features, including high ceilings and some sash windows.

There is a wonderful first impression with the welcoming entrance hall, with original floor tiles, providing access to the two more formal reception rooms, one with a matching bay to the kitchen/dining room on the other side of the hall. The deVOL, custom made kitchen/dining room, undoubtedly the social heart of the house, is fitted with an extensive range of units with granite and beech worktops and central island, includes a Lacanche LPG range cooker and Esse cast iron cooker.

The limestone floor tiles continue with double doors into the delightful garden room with three sets of French doors opening on to the garden. This links ‘The Coachouse’ via the boot room with the secondary ‘everyday’ entrance door, which then connects to the utility room and ground floor fifth/guest bedroom with an en suite shower room and French doors on to the courtyard. A second staircase leads to a studio, teenage ‘den’ or further bedroom which has a vaulted ceiling and an en suite bathroom. These rooms are ideal as a guest suite or can be adapted as a separate annexe, for relative or au pair for example, to the main house if required.

The main staircase is in the entrance hall with a door and steps under leading down to a good sized cellar, ideal for wine storage etc. There are four double bedrooms on the first floor, the main with an en suite bathroom and a similarly well appointed family bathroom, both with Victorian style roll top baths.

The house has areas of delightful garden on all sides with areas of lawn with well established beds and a Clematis and climbing Rose covered pergola for al fresco entertaining. There is a pretty Magnolia as well as a number of fruit trees including apple, plum and cherry. A courtyard with a walled boundary and five bar gate has brick storage sheds and grill covered well, provides ample parking. The mature Cedar tree in the front garden is a key feature and from which the property is named.
