The Property
Dating from 1745 and originally two cottages that have been converted and extended over time, Kingsley Mead is a spacious five bedroom family home with a wonderful blend of original features and excellent modern living accommodation. The downstairs offers bright and characterful accommodation with the original entrance hall having brick laid flooring and a double sided woodburning stove linking to the drawing room which has wooden floor boards, a triple aspect outlook and doors opening to the garden. There is a brilliant study which overlooks the garden through French doors and floor to ceiling windows.

The kitchen comprised of stylish Neptune solid wood units and granite countertops along with space for dining makes a fantastic family hub. There is an Aga Cooker, butler sink, underfloor heating and lovely high ceilings, and a set of doors opening out to the fabulous terrace with built in seating area and raised flowerbeds framed by a timber pergola; offering the perfect spot for relaxed evening drinks and alfresco dinners with family and friends. Adjacent to the kitchen is a further sitting room/potential dining room and the downstairs further benefits from a walk-in pantry, a laundry room and a downstairs cloakroom.

Original wooden floor boards run throughout the downstairs and reclaimed, stripped doors, large windows and generous ceiling height further adds to the characterful feel and sense of space.

On the first floor is the main bedroom suite with large dressing room with plentiful fitted wardrobes and storage and a shower room en suite. Further accommodation comprises two double bedrooms, a double bedroom with a study area/further bedroom, and a single bedroom. These are served by a family bathroom fitted with a Philippe Starck Duravit suite with light therapy bath and a family shower room.

Annexe
There is a superb brick-built annexe with power, water and electric heating and vaulted beamed ceilings, windows overlooking the garden and with the benefit of a cloakroom. This building is currently used as a pottery studio and would be suitable for a number of uses including office, accommodation, gym and of course creative studio space. There are also stairs up to a useful second floor room. Attached to the studio is a double garage with up and over door and storage attic above.

Gardens and Grounds
Kingsley Mead is approached through a five-bar gate and over a gravel parking area with parking for several cars. The main garden spreads out behind the property and is a wonderful open space with a large, flat lawn surrounded by mature hedging and beautiful specimen trees. There is a superb paved terrace running along the entirety of the property and the current owners have created a most wonderful Mediterranean style dining area, adjacent to the kitchen. This has inbuilt bench seating and raised
beds with a colourful mix of perennial flowers and is framed by a timber pergola with lighting and heaters.
