The property
The Old Grove is a unique property with some wonderful quirks. It is generous inside, with over 2800 sqft/260 sqm, and good flexibility and an appealing flow to this accommodation. Traditional details such as architraves, flagstones, plasterwork and architectural joinery boast character and are apparent throughout. The property has been preserved well, and modernised in parts over time by the current owners, for whom this has been a much loved family home for over 30 years. Three staircases provide an ability to divide the accommodation for when guests stay, or indeed to offer a self-contained apartment to one wing of the house; ideal for family members and/or earning potential (subject to any necessary planning permissions). The ground floor layout supports this flexibility of use with a separate entrance, kitchenette, 2 bedrooms and shower room to this end of the house - one of these bedrooms has a rather special barrelled ceiling!
The main rooms to the ground floor have lots of natural light and connect easily from the central entrance hall. Drawing room and sitting room are lovely rooms and can be opened up, or separated, via large internal doors. The heart of the home is the open plan kitchen which extends into the gardens, and gives good access points. This room is a brilliant everyday living space with dining area and sitting area. An adjacent utility is very useful. The study is off the back hall, and connects to the gardens. This could be a ground floor bedroom.
To the first floor are five bedrooms - four are good doubles and the fifth is a single - served by two bathrooms. All accessed by stairs at either end of the house.

Outside
The property benefits from a quiet, private setting, surrounded by countryside, approached via a driveway with ample parking. The established garden wraps around the property, with stone and brick walls and a range of mature hedging and tall trees providing privacy and division, creating various rooms. There is also a large log store, a useful outbuilding with double doors and a paved sun terrace; which can be easily accessed from the kitchen.
