About the Inside.
Upon entering through the oak door into the porch, the grandeur of the house is immediately apparent. The double doors leading to the dining hall open to reveal a versatile space that can adapt to various needs. Its stunning bath stone fire surround and large log burner create a cozy atmosphere, while the bay window to the east floods the room with morning light.
To the right of the dining hall is the elegant triple aspect drawing room, featuring a gas log effect stove. On the left side of the dining hall, a spacious study awaits, complete with a gas coal effect open fire with a timber surround, providing a nice setting for work. Adjacent to the study is a sitting room with an imposing bath stone fire surround and an open log fire.
Continuing through the dining hall, you'll find the kitchen/breakfast room, bathed in natural light. This expansive room features a 4-oven oil Aga and newly fitted kitchen units, functioning more as a breakfast room than a traditional kitchen. Glazed double doors from the breakfast room lead to the large conservatory, offering serene views of the rear garden.
The butlers kitchen, located to the right, serves as the main cooking area, equipped with fitted units, an integrated dishwasher, induction hob, extractor, and eye-level double oven, ensuring efficient meal preparation and cleanup.
A rear hallway leads to a utility area and a downstairs cloakroom, with exterior doors providing access to both the front and back of the property. Exterior doors from the conservatory open onto a large terrace, perfect for outdoor entertaining. A second downstairs cloakroom is conveniently located off the dining hall, adjacent to the main stairs, which elegantly ascend to a galleried landing. The ground floor benefits from underfloor heating within the dining hall, sitting room, utility and kitchen/breakfast room.
Upstairs the space and light continues with seven double bedrooms, two of which benefit from en-suites. There is plenty of storage and a family bathroom. The second stairs lead back to the kitchen.
About the Outside.
Double timber gates open off the lane to a cobbled driveway. This leads to the side of the house and creates an attractive courtyard, bordered by vibrant, floral beds, between the house and the outbuildings. There is parking for several vehicles. The outbuildings consist of a combination of workshop/studio, garage, open carport and stable. All offering different functions and potential. The workshop benefits from a chimney and fireplace with electricity and water supply.
The lawn is expansive and bordered by mature trees and shrubs including a large magnolia. At the northern end of the garden is an orchard, kitchen garden and greenhouse. A paved terrace wraps around the house to the east and south side. There is a wonderfully sunny terrace outside the kitchen/breakfast room which is a delightful place to have breakfast. The front of the house is bordered by more floral beds and lawned to the front stone wall.
