Description
The front door leads into a hallway off which are the utility room, cloakroom with a downstairs shower, kitchen and sitting room. The farmhouse-style kitchen forms the central hub to the home and has a lovely cosy feel. It has a four-oven, oil-fired AGA and an arch that leads through to the dining area. French doors lead from the dining area into a charming courtyard garden. The sitting room has a wood burner and provides access into the kitchen, study and drawing room. The 25' drawing room is particularly special and has an open Rayburn fireplace at one end, and French doors leading out to a second courtyard garden. The study could be used as a fifth bedroom and could use the shower/cloakroom off the hallway.
Stairs from the sitting room lead up to the first floor landing and corridor, off which are four bedrooms, a family bathroom and a separate WC. The principal bedroom has an en suite bathroom. Three of the four bedrooms overlook the lovely walled garden.
The stunning 100-year-old walled garden offers the most wonderful tranquillity and privacy for a family. The walls provide shelter for the outdoor swimming pool and wide variety of specimen shrubs and fruit trees. Beside the pool is an original glasshouse that takes advantage of the southerly aspect with a prolific grapevine trained across the roof. In former times, the glasshouse would have provided soft fruit for the neighbouring Loddon Court and, with some renovation, could again be extremely productive. There is also a workshop, a store and two wells.
Accessed off the kitchen/dining area and the drawing room are a series of three very pretty, linked walled gardens which are mainly laid to lawn, with shrubs, bushes and flower borders. A gate leads into the main walled garden.
Off the main courtyard there is a gate that leads to a paddock with post and rail fencing, within which is a field shelter and tack room, an additional well and original pump handle.
An adjoining three bedroom cottage is also available to purchase with The Coach House by separate negotiation - see
