Description

1 Kings Arms Court represents a well presented Grade II listed family home with a rich and interesting history. Originally dating from 1680 and a former public house, the property has been recently refurbished to create a beautifully presented country family home whilst retaining a number of period features including original timber beams, bar area and Inglenook fireplaces. Accommodation extends to approximately 4250 sq ft, is thoughtfully laid out over three floors, and has been completed with stylish modern interiors.

The delightful kitchen with vaulted ceiling features bespoke Shaker-style cabinetry, granite worktops, a range cooker and an American fridge freezer. There is ample space for informal dining and French doors open on to the patio and landscaped garden beyond. Off the kitchen is a useful boot room, separate utility and a cloakroom.

A memorable feature of the property is the impressive principal reception room with the original ornate bar from when the property was previously a public house and creates a wonderful centre piece. This is very much the heart of the house with its impressive proportions and is an ideal space to relax, entertain and enjoy family life. This leads to three further reception rooms comprising formal dining room, cosy family room and a study. This configuration flows exceptionally well and offers flexibility in its use. Steps from the reception room lead to the home gym area.

On the first floor are five beautifully presented bedrooms, three of the bedrooms benefit from en suite facilities and there is also a family shower room. Of note, the principal bedroom enjoys a lovely outlook, a dressing room and en suite with both bath and shower. An additional double bedroom, shower room and storage cupboard can be found on the second floor, a perfect space for guests, Airbnb or grown up children.

Outside is a low maintenance rear garden with a patio, wonderful seating areas, a gently sloping lawn and well stocked flowering beds. To the front of the house is a pleasant garden leading to the front porch and mature hedging provides screening and privacy.

There is allocated parking for several vehicles as well as a double, open bay car port.

1 Kings Arms Court is being offered to the market with no onward chain.
