The property
1 Arthurstone Gardens is a distinctive and highly attractive Category B Listed home, dating back to around 1800. The central feature of the house is its impressive four-storey folly tower, which rises prominently at the centre. The slightly curved wings on either side of the tower provide accommodation, with a central hallway connecting the spaces.
The three main reception rooms are housed in a large conservatory-style extension at the rear, enjoying a direct south-facing aspect onto the enchanting walled gardens. These include a 27ft dining room and both a 24ft drawing room and sitting room, all featuring wooden flooring, glass roofs with bespoke blinds, and panoramic garden views. Additional everyday living space includes the open-plan kitchen, breakfast room, and family area, with French doors from the family area leading to the rear garden. The kitchen is fitted with modern units, an Aga, and a walk-in larder, while a utility room across the reception hall offers further storage and appliance space.
The principal bedroom lies on the west wing, with French doors overlooking the front. There is a second bedroom and family bathroom. Bedroom 3 lies off the hallway and has an adjoining shower room. A spiral staircase leads from the dining room to a first floor study/bedroom 4.
A detached cottage provides further accommodation, comprising a sitting room, kitchen, one double bedroom, bedroom/box room and a bathroom.
Outside
At the front of the property, the gravel driveway asses through the well-presented front garden and leads to the block-paved driveway, which provides plenty of parking space and access to the detached triple driveway. The cottage is in front of the house, with an area of level lawn and colourful, well-stocked beds in front of both the house and cottage.
The magnificent walled gardens at the rear face directly south and include suntrap patio areas for al fresco dining, with pristine lawns and ornamental ponds beyond. The gardens also feature gravel pathways lined by box hedging, numerous mature trees and peaceful corners with gravel beds and terracing and various shrubs. There is also an orchard, and outside the walled gardens, a peaceful, shaded meadow area.
