Description

Rarely does a country home set in a fabulous rural setting, offering a mix of traditional and contemporary interiors with the benefit of a separate, detached wooden building, come on to the market for sale. The origins of the original cottage are still evident, an example being the fireplace in the sitting room with original bread oven alongside. Stepping into the light, vaulted entrance hall, with mezzanine above, immediately captures a visitor's attention. Continue through to the contemporary kitchen/dining room with windows overlooking the garden and to the superb views towards the surrounding countryside beyond. The kitchen is complemented by an attractive glazed conservatory which the present owners use as a place entertain and enjoy with family. The separate building, on the opposite side of the driveway is presently configured on the ground floor as an office/studio with glazed windows overlooking the gardens and beyond. An external staircase leads to a first floor living area/occasional bedroom. The house and annexe sit in just under an acre of gardens and grounds accessed via a private driveway. Whilst the location is a rural idyll, excellent road and rail links are within circa 10 minutes' drive.

Ground Floor

Step into the impressive entrance hall with vaulted ceiling, glazed panels, turned wooden staircase rising to the first floor mezzanine and stained glass double doors to the sitting room on one side and the kitchen/dining/family room on the other. The entrance hall is flooded with light and sets the tone for the remainder of this beautiful house and its stunning interior. The sitting room forms part of the original cottage and is a cosy room with much character and charm, the original fireplace and bread oven are features of the room and in keeping with the Scandanavian twist, a contemporary log burning stove complements the period features. The open plan kitchen/dining/family room really is the heart of the home. A spacious and light room, with views across the garden to the countryside beyond, has been thoughtfully designed to be both functional and aesthetically pleasing.

...

The bespoke Chalon kitchen is comprehensively and stylishly fitted with a range of painted wooden base and wall cupboards and a central island with granite and solid teak worksurfaces over. The kitchen is completed by integral appliances including a modern ' Lacanche' range cooker. A porcelain tiled floor, with underfloor heating, complements the kitchen design and flows through to the dining/family area. The dining area, with space for a large farmhouse style table, is positioned to enjoy the countryside views, there is also space for a sofa, a perfect place to enjoy a morning coffee. Adjoining the kitchen is a glazed conservatory with doors opening to the terrace and garden. The conservatory is an ideal space to entertain guests and enjoy family get togethers. The ground floor accommodation is completed by a useful utility/boot/laundry room and W.C.

First Floor

A wooden staircase, with turned balustrade, rises from the entrance hall to the first floor mezzanine landing. The mezzanine is an ideal place for a desk or sofa, is spacious and light and provides access to the bedrooms and bathrooms. The spacious principal bedroom has dual aspect windows and an en-suite shower room, to the opposite side of the landing are two further bedrooms and a modern family shower room with twin basins. The views from the first floor extend to the front, side and rear across the garden, open fields and countryside beyond.

Annexe

Across the driveway from the house is a modern detached two storey timber clad building with glazed doors to the front, fitted with full height wooden 'shutter style' doors. The ground floor is presently configured as a study/studio with glazed windows to the front affording views across the garden towards open countryside. An external staircase leads to an open plan living area/bedroom and en-suite shower room. The annexe is perfect for working from home, an artist's studio, a holiday let (subject to any necessary consents) or guest accommodation.

Outside

Ty-Corner is approached off a country lane with a private driveway and parking for several vehicles. The house sits in just under an acre of gardens and grounds comprising level lawns, wild meadow, a pretty lily pond, mature plants and trees and terraces which make the most of the views across the surrounding countryside. To one side of the annexe is a storage area and vegetable garden. The garden and grounds are protected from river water by a grassed, reinforced and membraned bund which was constructed in 1999. The bund protects Ty-Corner from occasional flooding of the lane accessing the property.

Agent's Notes

Ty-Corner is located in a flood risk zone, the property last flooded from river water over 35 years ago. The present owners who have lived in the property for 38 years decided in 1999, to have a bund built on the perimeter of the grounds to protect the property from river flooding. The bund was built professionally by a company of civil engineers and river water has never reached the height of the bund.

In 2020 Storm Dennis caused severe flooding across the UK and this was on the back of earlier storms in late 2019. The 2019 storms caused no flooding or damage to Ty-Corner however, during the 2020 storm the bund was breached at a very low level and it transpired that rabbits / rodents had penetrated the bund creating a hole / weakness. As a result, flood water from the field (not the river) seeped through the lower level of the bund which caused the ground floor of the house to flood, the detached annexe did not flood.

...

The bund has been repaired and now includes a triple membrane with a mesh covering to prevent rodents / rabbits from being able to dig through the bank.

Ty-Corner is insured for flood risk and has not been subject to increased insurance premiums.
