Description

Studley House is an attractive four-bedroom house dating back from the 19th century, with a double garage, outbuildings and within grounds of about 0.44 of an acre.

The Victorian house is set back from the road and has red brick elevations with sash windows under a traditional pantile roof; the front door stands behind a small portico and leads through to the reception hall.

Internally, the accommodation flows exceptionally well and, typical of houses of this period, comprises wonderfully proportioned, light-filled rooms with high ceilings and an array of period features.

The generous reception hall leads through to the elegantly proportioned, double aspect sitting room; dining room; family room, with French windows out to the terrace; and kitchen.

The first floor consists of four double bedrooms and two bathrooms. The double aspect principal bedroom looks out over the beautiful gardens.

Studley House has excellent and uncommonly generous gardens. French windows from the family room lead out to a superb terrace, ideal for al fresco dining and entertaining, which leads to the principally lawned gardens.

There is a selection of mature and specimen trees, shrub and herbaceous borders, and a large fish pond with decking.

Studley House has ample parking to the front and side of the house, a spacious double garage, a workshop and washroom/store.
