Description
oak beams and a large inglenook fireplace in the sitting room. Whilst having been maintained well, the property now requires a measure of updating – subject to any required Listed Building consents – to allow for modern day requirements and tastes. However, the warm and welcoming atmosphere pervades throughout the house and all the while one is aware of the wonderful outlook. Extending to just over 2,730 square feet, the accommodation is laid out over three floors and has two staircases, one serving the oast. The ground floor
is given over to three formal reception rooms, which flow easily from one to the next. The kitchen/breakfast room has pine cladding to the walls, is furnished with pine cabinetry and has steps up to the family room, situated on the ground floor of the roundel. There are six bedrooms arranged across the upper two levels. The principal suite has built-in storage and an en-suite bathroom. Elsewhere on this floor are three further bedrooms, one in the roundel, supported by two bathrooms. The second floor has two bedrooms and
built in storage.
Outside
The approach to the house is via a small, tranquil lane, then a five bar gate opening on to a wide, parking and turning area with space for a number of vehicles. Detached from the house are two barns. The smaller one is a former stable and now provides for storage/workshop facilities with a greenhouse alongside. The larger barn has the potential for conversion to ancillary accommodation – subject to necessary planning controls – and is at present used for vehicle storage, has an inspection pit, along with two mezzanine areas
and stables. The house is surrounded by lovely gardens, landscaped to capture the sun and well planned. There are extensive lawns, colourful herbaceous borders, magnificent azaleas and rhododendrons, tall, mature trees and specimen shrubs. Taking full advantage of the elevated position, there is stone terracing adjoining the house making a wonderful spot for outdoor entertaining and for taking in the lovely views. Other features include two ponds, a productive kitchen garden, fruit trees and a rose garden.
