Oak House

Double patio doors welcome you into a breathtaking open-plan kitchen/dining room boasting vaulted ceilings, exposed timbers, and plenty of room for a table to seat ten or more guests. The kitchen is equipped with a range of units and features a central island. To the left, steps ascend to a split staircase, beautifully handcrafted in oak. Steps to the right lead to a cozy snug with log burner. Beyond this, you step down into the large living room, a delightful space for entertaining with doors opening to the patio area. Exposed timbers and stone walls enhance the character. Beyond the living room sits a garden room, bathed in natural light through its panoramic windows.

Above this level are two double bedrooms and a four-piece family bathroom. An additional oak staircase leads to the top floor where you will find the large master bedroom with stunning countryside views and an additional bathroom. Above the kitchen is another double bedroom with its own landing area. All the rooms have exposed beams and lots of character.
An internal door leads from the corner of the kitchen through to the annex.

The Annex

The charming Annex has its own front door with porch area as well as being accessible directly from the main dwelling. The current owners have undertaken extensive soundproofing works between the main house and annex, including installing two (lockable) doors into the connecting doorway complete with acoustic seals. Downstairs, you'll find a modern well-equipped kitchen, newly updated shower room, cosy sitting room (bedroom 6) and dining area. Upstairs, is a large bedroom and another bathroom with a bath. The Annex also features period exposed beams and handcrafted oak staircase. Perfect for multigenerational living, or as extra accommodation or holiday let.

The Granary (detached holiday cottage)

Opposite the main house is the former working granary lovingly turned into a cosy holiday cottage. The accommodation is ready to let. Generating year-round extra income, it attracts quiet couples looking for a rural retreat, or just providing excellent accommodation for visiting friends and family. Upon entering through the front door, you step into the cosy living room, with wood burning stove and spiral staircase. To the right is a fully-fitted kitchen complete with breakfast bar, washing machine and plenty of storage. Upstairs is a spacious bedroom with vaulted ceiling, exposed beams and a stable door/window with stunning views. The ensuite large bathroom has a powerful shower and a walk-in storage cupboard.

Additional buildings

To the rear of the main house, you will find the separate outbuildings with 20 solar panels along the roof, plus a sizeable greenhouse. The outbuildings have been meticulously converted to a very high modern standard by the current owners, while preserving their character and charm which includes vaulted ceilings and exposed beams. All these spaces are large (see floorplan) and heated with their own entrance door (on both sides of the building):
• Large yoga/fitness studio with wooden floor, underfloor heating and air conditioning
• Large gym with rubber flooring, central heating, air conditioning, large windows with orchard/stream views and double glass doors into outside training space (specialist outdoor rubber flooring).
• Studio/recreation space used as a café/ business reception area by the current owners
• Pool room (endless pool) with stainless steel wet room, tiled floor and underfloor heating
• Utility room with WC, central heating, plumbing for 3 washing machines, dishwasher and sink
• Workshop
• large loft space with easy access (full staircase) as the entire level above the workshop and utility room

The current owners developed these outbuildings with flexibility in mind, so that they can all be repurposed easily to suit different needs. This includes additional electrics and plumbing to enable potential for easy future conversion.

Step Outside

Access and parking:
The property is accessed via a shared gravel driveway, leading to the impressive front of Oak House. The driveway extends to the left of the property, to a large parking area and access to all the developed outbuildings. Continuing beyond the outbuildings, the driveway crosses over a small bridge, granting access to the meadow (with additional parking area).

Main gardens:
Adjacent to the driveway is a lovely spacious lawned area inviting relaxation with amazing views. There is a fantastic vegetable garden and well-stocked orchard offering exciting opportunities for gardeners and producing fresh produce for much of the year.
