Description
Setting the Scene
This fine home was built circa 1635; Flemish bond brickwork dating from this period can still be seen at the rear. Inside, the building is characterised by exposed timber beams, magnificent oak panelling, and moulded stone fireplaces.
Expressive Georgian and Victorian interventions can be seen within, including fine woodwork and flooring. The façade at the front of the house was updated in the early 20th century, its neat red brickwork punctuated by sash windows with stone flat arches.
Sensitivity reimagined under current ownership, the house presents a set of spaces conceived with modern living in mind. There is also permission in place to sensitively convert the plot into three separate homes, details of which can be seen here.
The Grand Tour
A private driveway sweeps up to the entrance to the main house. Entry is to an oak-panelled door with leaded side and overlights, framed by a smart stone archway. Inside, oak dado panelling lines the lower walls, while soaring ceilings overhead create a voluminous first impression.
In the drawing room, known as the 'oak room', a majestic moulded stone fireplace takes centre stage. Its oak chimneypiece extends toward the ceiling and is divided into three raised panels with exquisite detailing. Oak-panelled walls and window frames complete the ensemble, while exposed timber beams run overhead. Parquet flooring had been laid underfloor.
A living room sits opposite; here, sash windows on three sides capture leafy views of the garden beyond. In the study, exposed stone walls are imbued with a warm honey colour. A cast-iron fireplace with a timber mantlepiece has an intricate mural painted above it, with a brass cherub inset into the wall.
A gently arched window illuminates the kitchen. It also has a sash window, timber beams overhead and terracotta floor tiles. There is a white oil-fired Aga, a double oven and a run of floor-to-ceiling open shelving, perfect for storing crockery and glassware. To the rear of the kitchen is a large boot room and utility, which leads to a garden room-come-gym and shower room.
Across the hall, a generous dining room has parquet flooring, a grand fireplace with a log burner and detailed cornicing.
To the side of the house, a glazed door with an arched fanlight opens onto the 'stair hall', which has oak dado panelling and a handsome staircase with string-turned balusters and square newels.
On the first floor, the principal bedroom is filled with light from three sash windows that frame treetop views. Its soaring ceilings create a wonderful sense of space, and there is a generous en suite bathroom with a freestanding bathtub, a walk-in shower and dual washbasins.
Three further bedrooms are found on this floor, two of which have en suite bathrooms with bathtubs. One has fitted storage and is currently used as a dressing room.
The second floor is occupied by three additional bedrooms and a shared bathroom.
On the ground floor, there is a separate wing of the house with its own entrance. Set over two levels, it has a kitchen, a living room, a WC, a large bathroom, two bedrooms and a lift.
There is a self-contained coach house within the grounds, with a kitchen, living room, bedroom and bathroom. It also has two stables attached.
The Great Outdoors
The house sits amid five acres of private land. Yew hedging creates a sense of privacy and remove, and there is a large pond and two paddocks. Fields extend toward the rear, providing tranquil countryside views.
