Oakfield is a fabulous period family house, refurbished and redecorated in recent years, presented very well throughout with lovely furnishings. It is rare to find both the original family house still together with its Coach House and the property offers fantastic flexibility of accommodation whether it be for a live/work environment or for additional family/staff requirements or perhaps AirBnB.

The Coach House is a fabulous example of a traditional outbuilding, converted to provide fantastic accommodation for domestic offices, guests or perhaps as a games area for the family. The kitchen/dining area was formerly two stables, and has been cleverly split to provide both spaces and yet retains the original brick floor and timber and cast iron stable dividers. An adjacent store room has a mixed quarry tiled floor, superb Victorian glass-fronted cabinets and an original range. There is a ground floor wc, and an office/games room/lounge with partial vaulted glazed ceiling. The first floor has a lounge/bedroom with high vaulted ceiling with exposed roof trusses and a lovely en suite bathroom. The house is approached through a high brick entranceway with double timber remote controlled gates leading to a shingle driveway.

The gardens have been very well maintained by the owners and are beautifully landscaped with an ornamental traditional English garden at the front. At the side and rear are several beautifully managed lawned gardens with mature hedging and trees and well stocked flower and shrub borders. There are various terraces and a covered barbecue area adjacent to the coach house.
