7 bedroom detached house for sale

This attractive country house sits at the
end of a gated drive and enjoys views
over its formal garden and grounds.
With origins from the 1700s and then
later extensions and alterations, in
the mid-Victorian era, the house offers
large, elegant rooms with plenty of light
and character, including deep skirtings
and panelled doors. Sympathetic
modernisation as taken place in recent
years, creating a comfortable family
home with grace and style, along with
a high degree of versatility, including
scope for the recreation of the former
annex.

The front door opens to the hall which
has two beautifully proportioned
reception rooms to either side, including
the drawing room which has handsome
fireplace as a focal point and views over
the garden.

The sitting room is opposite
and has a woodburning stove.
The formal dining room has fitted
bookshelves and a large period
fireplace adding to the atmosphere. The
family room is across the hall.

The kitchen is a fabulous hub to the
home with ample space for cooking
and food preparation, as well as family
or formal mealtimes, along with space
for relaxation. The high quality, sleek
units with quartz worksurfaces include
plenty of storage and house the usual
appliances. The Aga, with companion,
make a cosy heart to the home.

The dining area as a view through the bay
window to the garden and field beyond.
There are ample storerooms, and a
scullery, along with cloakrooms, a boot
room and a utility room, with access
directly from the drive or from the
courtyard.

The staircase leads from the hall to the
landing, which has a beautiful view down the drive.

There are elegant bedrooms to either
side. The lower landing has two further
comfortable double bedrooms, one of
which is fitted as a dressing room. The
other has access to the Jack and Jill wash
room / WC, which offers sufficient space
for a shower or bath to be added. Across
the landing is the principal bathroom,
which is beautifully appointed with twin
sinks, WC and roll-top bath set in front of
the window to enjoy the rural view.

There are two further double bedrooms
enjoying westerly views over the fields.
One of them has a beautiful ensuite
shower room.

Attic stairs rise to the top floor, which
is a great domain for teenagers. A huge
bedroom has far-reaching southerly
views. Across the landing is a vast
bathroom, and on the lower landing there
are two further attic rooms, which could
be bedrooms or playrooms, perhaps.
Electric gates open to the drive, which
runs between the lawns, up to the
circular parking and turning area in front
of the house. The formal gardens run to
the south & west, with lawns and well-stocked
shrubberies. A path leads to the
hard tennis court.

An attractive sheltered courtyard is set to
the west of the house and provides rear
access to the accommodation. The stable
block is adjacent. The lengthy, brick-built,
single storey barn provides garaging
to one end and great possibilities to
the other. In the past (1990) planning
permission was granted to split the barn
into two dwellings, but this was never
implemented. The grounds amount to
about 4.60 acres and include a fenced
paddock.
