GROUND FLOOR

Upon entering through the large, panelled entrance door, the spacious hall is immediately apparent, bathed in natural light. The staircase ascends directly ahead, leading to the first floor. To the right, the sitting room offers a generous space with tall ceilings—a characteristic feature throughout the ground floor. Large windows frame views over the pond and courtyard, enhancing the room's brightness. A stone fireplace with a multi-fuel stove adds a touch of warmth and character. Further along the entrance hall, you will find the study. This is a substantial area with ample storage space. A door leads to a smaller conservatory/ garden room, which, in turn, offers access to the pond or the walled garden through double doors. Continuing through the entrance hall, the large dining room serves as an ideal space for both entertaining guests and family gatherings. Two sets of double doors open into a Victorian-style conservatory, which also features two sets of double doors leading into the walled garden, allowing for seamless indoor-outdoor living. The generous kitchen exudes a farmhouse charm, equipped with an oil-fired Aga, dishwasher, electric oven, and induction hob. Hand-painted units with granite work surfaces complement the space. Double doors open into the conservatory, while a large door provides access to the courtyard. Adjacent to the kitchen, a hallway leads to a utility room with storage, work surfaces, a sink, and a door to the walled garden. Two well-sized bedrooms are located here, along with a bathroom.

OUTSIDE

The Coach House is set within just under four acres of grounds, offering a blend of privacy and potential. Accessed via a shared private driveway, the property is complemented by a mix of grassland and trees to the right, all owned by The Coach House. To the left, a small grass area houses an outbuilding/store room, providing additional storage. Approaching The Coach House, a curved brick wall leads to a spacious courtyard, offering ample parking for multiple vehicles.

To the rear, a substantial 10-foot-high brick-walled garden creates a secluded outdoor haven. This area features a well-maintained lawn, potting sheds along with the footprint of the original greenhouse, established shrubs, and a modest orchard, making it an ideal setting for alfresco dining and family gatherings. The tranquil environment is perfect for relaxation and outdoor enjoyment.

Adjacent to the property lies a pond area. Overlooking this space is a 455 sq. ft. (stms) outbuilding, offering versatile potential. This structure could be adapted to serve as additional living accommodation, an annex, or a self-contained home office, subject to necessary planning permissions. The opportunities presented by this space are abundant for the next owners.
