DESCRIPTION Understood to date form the late eighteenth century and formerly the coach house to the adjacent house now known as The Flackley Ash Hotel. The appealing external elevations are of mellow brick with some tile hanging and weatherboard cladding beneath principally tiled roofs. The accommodation is well planned and comfortably arranged with large, partly open plan rooms of good proportion, as shown on the floor plan.

The spacious triple aspect, light-filled open plan kitchen/breakfast room, dining room and morning room has French doors to the garden, oak floorboards, a moulded cornice and a white marble fireplace with a Victorian cast iron inset and a 'living flame' coal effect gas fire. The kitchen/breakfast area, which has large windows to two sides overlooking the garden and a glazed door to the terrace, is fitted with an extensive range of shaker style cabinets beneath granite work surfaces with enamel sink, stainless steel Range cooker with a double oven and six gas burners, an integrated dishwasher and space and plumbing for an American style fridge freezer. The sitting room, which is accessed via the rear hall with a second staircase to the first floor, has a brick fireplace with an enamelled wood burning stove and French doors leading to the garden and into the conservatory with a door opening onto the terrace and gardens. The utility room has a range of floor and wall cupboards, space for a washing machine and tumble dryer, together with a sink and a gas boiler.
