DESCRIPTION

Once the stable yard to Ufford Hall, the stunning, 18th century building, of ashlar stone, is late 18th century and Grade II*.

4 Fountain Court, approached over a cobbled courtyard, enjoys the southern corner of the converted stable yard. A beautiful white wisteria drapes above the front door whilst an orange pyrocantha provides autumnal colour. There is an electric charging point and off-road parking for two vehicles. Once derelict, the owners embarked upon a meticulous renovation, creating a stunning home to the highest of standards with modern luxuries such as underfloor heating throughout.

Stepping onto a flagstone floor, the wide front door opens into a light and airy entrance hall with high ceilings, cornicing, and ceiling rose. Natural light floods in from the above door fanlight, and from the glass-panelled rear door framing views over the courtyard garden. A beautifully crafted, built-in coat rack, with seat, provides storage as well as further cupboards sympathetically disguised within the hall. A cloakroom makes good use of space under the stairs.

Moving through the ground floor to the dual aspect sitting room, the main focal point is the attractive stone surround fireplace complete with logburner. Other features of note are the working window shutters and the delightful, reclaimed, parquet wooden floor.

The kitchen-living-diner is truly the heart of the home, designed by Style Kitchen & Interiors the shaker style cabinetry houses an array of appliances; NEFF oven, NEFF dishwasher, fridge draws to the island, dual Belfast sink, and a lovely pantry cupboard. The design is cleverly laid out to accommodate a freestanding cooker, the owners currently have a Total Control 5 electric AGA in position.

The kitchen island provides ample preparation space, and the bar seating to one side and crescent seating to the other creates an ideal space for entertaining with room for a generous dining table. Dual aspect, the windows, again with shutters, have deep-set sills some of which have been created into window seats, the remainder of the room lends itself perfectly to a relaxed living area.

A utility room provides built-in storage with fridge, freezer, washing machine, and tumble dryer. There is also loft access and a side door that opens onto the stable yard.

Rising to the first floor, passing the feature wall, stairs open onto a large landing currently used as an office space with an expertly crafted built-in office unit. Deep-set stone windowsills, an original feature of the property, are displayed across the first floor, as are window shutters and cast-iron radiators, a consistent nod to the quality and attention to detail throughout the property.

The dual aspect principal suite, also with original parquet wood flooring, has built-in wardrobes complete with drawers, designed and installed by the Fitted Furniture company, which similarly feature in the other two bedrooms. The ensuite, designed by Olympic Marble, has a freestanding bath, rain-head shower and built in vanity. Off the bathroom is a dressing room, also with built-in cabinetry.

The engineered oak wood flooring of the landing leads down a light corridor to a further two ensuite double bedrooms, both with shower-rooms by Olympic Marble. Loft access from the landing completes the accommodation of 4 Fountain Court.

OUTSIDE

Flanked by bay pyramids, stone steps lead down into a south-facing, sheltered, walled garden. The lower flower beds, encircling the gravel seating area, are brimming with an abundance of lavender. The upper flower beds display larger shrubs such as hydrangea and caster oil plant enclosed by neat box hedging. To the far side of the courtyard, steps rise to a seating area underneath a pergola, softened by climbing roses and honeysuckle. To the corner is a potting shed complete with herb garden. Stunning double gates provide direct access onto Main Street.
