Thornimans Lane, Frampton, PE20 1AJ

The beautiful Rowan House is in an enviable position, within a conservation area and along a quiet country lane in one of our most beautiful villages. The Frampton Marsh RSPB Nature Reserve is just around the corner and this area has so many charming period houses and cottages.

Rowan House is a fine example of how quality building materials and skilled craftsmen can design and build a property that blends in so well you can hardly believe it is actually less than 20 years old. Built with a Flemish Bond style of brickwork, known for its strength, aesthetic appeal and historical significance and it is further complimented by a cat-slide roof with handmade tiles, solid oak pillars and an attractive lead canopy over doors to the front.

The character continues on the inside, with natural materials such as travertine, oak and Indian sandstone that combine with paintwork in heritage colours to create a cohesive and restful theme. An open-plan design throughout the ground floor gives a lovely feeling of space and enables a natural flow, with three sets of French doors that each open up onto the rear patio and garden from the kitchen, dining room and fabulous oak garden room. Four double bedrooms are served by no less than three en-suite shower rooms, as well as a family bathroom with freestanding bath.
The grounds and gardens of Rowan House are absolutely beautiful and exactly what I imagine the ideal buyer will be looking for. With country fields to the rear, the well maintained garden is peaceful and secluded; filled with cottage garden style plants and shrubs, as well as raised beds with kitchen herbs and a lovely wild flower garden.
