Description
Owned by the same family for some 40 years, the house offers a wonderful opportunity to update as desired.
The front door opens to an entrance lobby which in turn leads to an excellent entrance hall with an attractive staircase, high ceiling and fireplace. The drawing room is a beautiful double reception room stretching across the south-west side of the house with views to the gardens through large bay windows and French doors. With a fireplace in each half, the room provides a sensational space and has doors leading to a spectacular orangery, a feature which dominates this elevation having tall multi-paned windows.
To the corner of the house, a double aspect library looks into the orangery and has fitted bookshelves around an open fire. There is a cloakroom and utility room as well as a large dry cellar with good headroom and storage. The later wing houses the dining room and kitchen which has a convenient serving hatch and a larder.
Stairs rise to a half landing off which the principal bedroom and en-suite bedroom are located, as is the family bathroom.
Two lovely bedrooms sit to the back of the house with French doors opening to the balcony above the orangery, with two further generous bedrooms to the front. One of these connects to the principal bedroom and could be configured as a larger suite, if desired. All have large windows flooding the rooms with light and period features including fireplaces. The sixth bedroom has deep fitted wardrobes across one wall.
Set off the pretty environment of Church Street, The Aumbry is approached via a long, gravelled driveway which arrives at the front of the house and garage.
The generous gardens are a beautiful backdrop to the house, the structure of which provides a delightful series of “rooms” to enjoy, from the walled vegetable garden and orchard - stocked with apple, fig, plum, pear, persimmon, damson, quince and mulberry trees - to the croquet and daffodil lawns. Paths meander through the secluded grounds passing sheltered spots from which to take in the tranquil surroundings.
