A highly attractive Georgian former farmhouse, with elegant proportions and beautiful, mature and walled south facing gardens, with generous parking, in the centre of a Conservation Village.
Description
This beautiful listed house retains the grace, elegance and charm of the Georgian era, with classic high ceilings and windows, coupled with symmetrical proportions. It also retains desired features like stone flagged floors, high beamed ceilings and shuttered windows. It is offered for sale for the first time in over 25 years.
The front door opens in the south face of the property from the within the gardens. The wide and inviting stairwell entrance hallway has stone flagged flooring and accesses the three reception rooms.
The dual-aspect drawing room is bathed in light by two almost full height arched windows, which flank the marble fireplace to the south overlooking the gardens, coupled with the classic Georgian west facing window to the front of the house.
The dining room is also dual-aspect, and of similar proportions, with a wood burning stove within its fireplace and a second access to the rear hallway. The rear hallway is also accessed from the sitting room, which with exposed stonework walls, high beamed ceiling and wide bressummer beamed inglenook, within which is another wood burning stove, is a fabulous family room with lots of visual interest.
The wide rear hallway, with back door, is sufficiently proportioned to act as a thoroughfare, as well as a combined utility and boot room. It leads to the kitchen past a cloakroom/wc.
The farmhouse style kitchen, also dual aspect, has a clay tiled floor, high beamed ceiling and four-oven Aga within a stone inglenook. A stable style door opens to the gardens.
The first floor is served by two staircases. The main landing accesses four double bedrooms (one en suite) and the family bathroom. All have high ceilings and good proportions. A fifth bedroom (currently an office) is accessed through bedroom 4, or by a secondary that rises from the kitchen.
The second floor has slightly restricted headroom, with two further double bedrooms, a library room, hobby room and second family bathroom.
Outside: The west facing house has attractive wrought iron railings and forecourt garden to the front, whist wrought iron gates provide vehicular access to the walled grounds. The private, south facing walled gardens, with outbuildings including an open fronted coach-house style carport garaging are a delight. Beautifully maintained, the sweeping lawn extends to the southern boundary with deep, well stocked flower beds and shrub borders, along with terraced patio areas from which to enjoy alfresco dining in the summer. The property extends to 0.3 of an acre in total.
Location
