Description

The Red Brick House is a handsome and substantial period property of exceptional character and build quality comprising local red brick and part tile-hung elevations, a slate roof and original refurbished wood sash windows. This much-loved family home dates to the 1800’s and has retained a wealth of period features including tall, corniced ceilings, fireplaces and original doors and door furniture, along with a large cellar that was used as an air raid shelter in WW2! Well-maintained by the same family for the past 35 years, it offers over 1,900 sq. ft. of flexible, beautifully and professionally interior designed accommodation. Arranged across two floors and with a good-sized attic space, the property occupies a sizeable plot and enjoys a mature and peaceful south west facing garden, that is a particular feature of the property. There is scope for further development, Subject to Planning Permission (STPP).

The quarry tiled, brick front porch with a traditional pull bell opens into a welcoming entrance hall, with original newel post period staircase rising to the first floor and doors leading to the sitting room, kitchen and dining room with a brick staircase down to the versatile 19 ft. cellar, which offers great potential for creation of further living space, with its own fireplace and window. The flexible layout flows well and there is an elegant 20 ft. sitting room with lit display alcoves incorporating shelving and cabinetry around a wooden fireplace. French doors open to the spacious conservatory with uninterrupted views of the delightful garden and double doors lead to the brick laid sun terrace.

The beautifully decorated dining room opens out into the kitchen, with its extensive range of in-keeping solid wooden wall and base cabinetry and there is a coveted economy two-oven inset cream AGA range and 2-ring electric hob (disconnected). A double sink is below the large garden-facing window and there is an under-counter fridge. A stable door leads out to the rear garden and a courtyard breakfast terrace with an external doorway giving access to the front of the house. The separate utility room is conveniently accessed from the kitchen and the conservatory and leads into a cosy tucked-away wood-panelled office overlooking the garden with a sliding door to a useful ground floor shower room.

The bright first-floor landing with window and access to the loft space, opens to an additional shower room and three charming and well-proportioned double bedrooms with fitted cupboards, cast iron feature fireplaces and elevated views of the wonderful garden. The 20 ft. dual-aspect principal bedroom also enjoys the use of an en suite bathroom with an airing cupboard.

New gas fired Worcester boiler installed/certified in 2024. Energy efficient secondary glazing throughout the property.

The double fronted property benefits from a generously sized plot of approximately 0.24 acres, which is rare for this central village position, and is approached over a private tarmac driveway with parking for 2 cars. There is a small front garden area accessed with steps up from the driveway to the entrance porch and a low brick wall with climbing roses on the front elevation. There is an abundance of tall, established trees surrounding The Red Brick House, offering ample privacy and seclusion. The rear garden enjoys a tranquil and bright south westerly aspect and is largely laid to level lawn with a variety of mature acacia and fir trees. There is an original brick boundary wall and clearly defined close board fencing to neighbouring properties, screened with well planted and mixed herbaceous borders, mature shrubs and trees. A pathway meanders through ornamental arches at the top area of the plot to a secret garden, not visible from the house, which is quite magical. There are 2 garden sheds for storage. A lovely old brick-paved terrace surrounds the conservatory with views of the garden along with a small courtyard next to the kitchen offering the ideal sunny spots to relax and dine al fresco. Enjoy countryside living yet in the heart of Newick village life and Conservation Area.
