Approach
A low level hamstone wall provides kerb frontage with pedestrian gated access to the unused front door or vehicle access to the parking area and gated pedestrian access to the rear of the property, following a path where you can enter through the rear hallway.
The Setting
Just off the East Stoke Road, where it becomes Montacute Road, this stunning residence was built as the gatehouse to the Manor House in the 17th Century. The current owners took residence approx 63 years ago and have raised family, extended family and entertained friends, this is a home that has a welcoming feeling as soon as you enter the door.The front is to the road which does not impact greatly or detract from the setting which is then surrounded on 3 sides by mature trees from the Manor House parklands making this a stunning setting.
Rear Hallway
Forming the main entrance with lead lined glazed windows and door looking out to the garden, set over a tiled floor with exposed hamstone from the original building.
Kitchen/Dining/Pantry
More recently updated, the kitchen is slightly elevated and offers wonderful views to the garden from dual aspect windows which are single glazed exterior stone mullions with interior fitted double glazed, oak framed windows (all in keeping with the Grade II Listing).This is a light space which forms part of an extension from the 1970s and has the original rear hamstone wall creating a nice warm feature internally.A set of double ovens at eye level and wide range of storage as well as a walk-in pantry make this a great space with room for a 6 seater table, ideal for the kids, grandchildren or friends.Additional storage is along a corridor to the rear which provides access to a 3rd entry with additional cupboards and storage.Also, tucked away here is a separate shower room for when the house does get a bit busier.
Dining Room
Set in the heart of this fine residence, this room is a real showcase for the authenticity of this home. From the inglenook fireplace, front aspect stone mullioned windows and extra wide front door (all windows and doors have secondary fitted Oak double glazed interiors). You are then attracted (or should that be, distracted) by the timber beams, timber flooring and evident workmanship in the cabinetry as well as the warm honey glow of the exposed areas of local Hamstone internal wall.
Sun Room
A more recent addition, this lovely room offers views to the countryside at the front and to the side are a set of windows and doors looking onto and providing access to the West Terrace and side garden. A lovely space to spend your days soaked in natural light.
Living Room
This space, more often than not, an evening room, offers yet again, substantial living space and forms part of the original house. With front aspect stone mullion windows and window seat with fitted, internal Oak double glazed secondary glazing, a feature beam and wood burning stove this is a very comfortable room.
Upstairs
On offer on the upper floor are 4 bedrooms and the bathroom.Principal Bedroom is as one would expect in this period of house a very spacious room with dual aspect stone mullioned windows and part exposed beams.Rear Bedrooms: Two double bedrooms are set to the rear of the property and come with rear aspect windows and wash hand basins, ideal for guests or visiting family.Bedroom 4/Home Office: Originally a 4th bedroom, this space is currently configured as a home office.Bathroom: With large bath, separate shower, wash hand basin, WC and storage this room also benefits from front and rear aspect windows providing natural light.
Garden
This is a rather special setting, not your standard level lawn, but instead an undulating space designed to welcome nature whilst providing private spaces throughout.Ideal for a keen gardener or those looking to downsize to something more manageable, this space offers a wide variance of usage and adaptability.The garden backs onto the parklands of the Manor House and is a picture postcard setting.
Driveway and Park
Access off the road is through a wide open gateway set behind a low level hamstone wall. With asphalt area, loose gravel and a little walk through front rose garden. Also there is a large workshop/garage.
