Geraldton House is situated towards the southern end of the village and fronts The Street.
The property has a deceptively large and long rear garden which adjoins farmland.
The present owners purchased the property in 2006 and have since modified part of
the interior to create larger rooms, re-roofed where necessary and re-decorated.
About the inside
There are a number of features appropriate to the period including flagstone and stone floors, a vaulted ceiling with an exposed roof truss and a large inglenook fireplace fitted with a log burning stove in the very comfortable sitting room. The interior is charming and has a friendly atmosphere with all principal rooms looking over the garden. The kitchen is fitted with an Aga and with the dining room, which opens to the garden through a stable door, provides excellent open plan space.
On the first floor, the principal bedroom with ensuite shower room and dressing room can be approached either from the secondary staircase or the main staircase. There are three further double bedrooms. Bedroom two which interconnects to study/bedroom 5 historically had a corridor to provide direct access to this room from the landing.
About the outside
At the front of the house the front elevation has an attractive wide open porch serving as a log store and raised stone planted beds. The single carport, with double front doors, gives access to a gravelled parking area. There is also an additional off road parking space with an electric vehicle charging point. Beside is a flagstone paved area with a mature Wisteria and glazed double doors lead out from the rear hall. A further raised flagstone area, ideal for entertaining, outside the family room and study, is fitted with a stone bench. Beyond is a stone and tile outbuilding and timber outbuilding.
The south and west facing garden is divided into three “compartments” and adjoins farmland. There is a large expanse of level lawn beyond which are two areas of fruit trees including cooking apple and pear, separated by beech and yew hedging.
Around the garden established trees include Magnolia, Rowan, Chestnut and Eucalyptus. In all the property extends to about 0.66 acres
