Description

The Coach House is an attractive barn conversion situated within an attractive courtyard setting which has been well maintained since being built. The wider development comprises 6 dwellings which have been created out of the former outbuildings to the adjacent country house, Tilstone House. Tilstone Paddocks was created in the late 1990’s when the buildings were converted and offers a particularly private courtyard setting with all properties retaining much of their original character with clay tiled roof, Crittall style windows, exposed beams and cross timbers.

The Coach House is constructed of brick with black and white
elevations under a clay tiled roof, being arranged over 2 storeys and having the benefit of double glazing & gas central heating. From the lane an attractive, wide splayed brick & sandstone entrance opens onto a herringbone clay paviour driveway which gives access to all the properties within Tilstone Paddocks. The Coach House is the second property on the left-hand side and to the front of the house there is gravelled parking for 2 cars, in front of the integral garage, and also an area of box hedging with an attractive winter flowering cherry within. A set of York stone steps lead to the front door which opens into a large porch with ample space for coats & shelving. From the porch a door opens into a wide hall from which all principal ground floor rooms are accessed. The hall itself is well proportioned, being well suited for use as a dining hall and has a wood effect floor with Dutch ties and dadot rail. To the right of the hall is the kitchen which has fitted wall and base units under granite worksurfaces, to include a 1½ bowl sink with drainer, integrated Neff dishwasher & microwave, Rangemaster 5-ring gas hob with electric oven below and a separate Rangemaster fridge & freezer. Whilst being contemporary in its style the kitchen still retains much of its character with dadot & picture rails, Crittall window overlooking the front and impressive exposed wooden column. From the kitchen a door and step lead into the integral garage. The garage has an up-and-over door, with electric and power, being suitable for storage and at the end of which a half-glazed door leads to a small utility with wall & base units and plumbing for washing machine and/or tumble dryer. This space is particularly adaptable and it is conceivable that the garage and utility area could be remodelled to form part of the living accommodation off the kitchen, or converted into a home office, depending on a user’s need. To the left of the hall is the sitting room which again is well-proportioned with high ceiling, decorative fireplace and dual aspect, with double French doors opening to the rear garden. Off the hall and adjacent to the staircase is the downstairs w.c. with low flush w.c., pedestal hand basin and understairs storage.

The staircase leads to the landing, and immediately off which is bedroom 2. Bedroom 2 is a double room with front aspect and exposed timbers. To one end of the bedroom is a useful walk-in wardrobe, which could easily be extended and/or converted to create an en-suite shower room, without taking away much from the size of the bedroom. In the alternative, should an additional bedroom be required then this room has the potential to be split into two bedrooms, being a double and large single. To the right of the landing are Bedrooms 3 & 4. Bedroom 3 is another double room with exposed beams and ample space for wardrobes/drawers. Bedroom 4 is currently used as an office, with front aspect and large triple window but would be easily made into a double bedroom. To the left of the landing is the family bathroom which has tiled walls and floor, low flush w.c., built-in hand basin with drawers, tiled shower cubicle with Mira fittings and useful airing cupboard. At the end of the landing is the master suite. The bedroom is particularly spacious with exposed beams & timbers and a range of built-in wardrobes and dressing table. To the left of the bedroom is a large en-suite bathroom with tiled walls & floors, integrated bath, low flush w.c., hand basin and tiled shower cubicle.

To the rear of the property and accessed off the sitting room is a wooden decked area with space for tables & chairs, which offers a particularly private space for outdoor entertaining. Beyond the decking there is a step down to the initial garden, with lawned area, which is bordered with box hedging, low retaining wall and mature shrub/hedge borders. To the end of the lawn is an ornamental pond and adjacent to which an arch opens to a further lawned area with garden shed and seating area. This area is enclosed by mature trees, shrubs and flowering borders. Adjacent to the further lawn is a small woodland walk which leads to a useful and particularly large compost area with side gate onto the road. The woodland area being underplanted with Snowdrops & Bluebells. The rear garden at The Coach House is attractive with a combination of attractive specimen trees to include Oak, Pine and Beech, coupled with a combination of colourful flower beds & shrubs, which include Rhododendrons, Azaleas and Acers.
