SITUATION AND DESCRIPTION

An elegant and secluded 1920’s house enjoying beautiful south facing gardens of approximately one acre and positioned on the edge of the village bounded by fields. The house is rich in notable character and was extended in the 1930’s creating a sizeable games room which is now the principle sitting room/music room. The house is well presented and has been improved by the current owner since purchased included a now open plan kitchen/dining/ breakfast room with views out the gardens and French doors to an evening patio. The house was also extended on the western elevation creating a sizeable and useful utility/hobby room which is also good for wet coats, boots and pets. On the boundary is also a detached double garage which includes an attached south facing conservatory/ potting room and logs store. This series of connected outbuildings have all got mains power and lighting and could potentially provide some form of annex accommodation (with relevant planning approval).

The gardens and approach to this property are a particular feature. The gated driveway sweeps up and around an attractive central raised garden with paved paths, established beech tree and colourful shrubs. The rear garden is south facing with an abundance of specimen shrubs and trees plus a long paved seating terrace that runs the length of the house which is ideal for enjoying the grounds and entertaining with friends and family. There is also a purpose built tennis court, which requires refurbishment, but is ideal for all kinds of ball games. The accommodation comprises of porch, reception hall, traditional cloakroom and wc, sitting/music room, dining room, snug/study, kitchen breakfast room, lobby, store and utility/hobby room. To the first floor is a spacious landing with loft access, four bedrooms, en-suite bathroom and a family bathroom.
