Description

Agent note: Suitable for residential, mixed use or growing commercial/leisure use.

Tan House:
Dating back to the late 1600's, Tan House is an exquisite country property, affording a beautiful example of post Restoration architecture. Somewhat of a variety, Tan House has been poignantly maintained, yet tastefully and painstakingly enhanced, notably so by the current vendors. As a consequence, it shows to an exemplary standard, with light and airy accommodation equating to 3,823 sq. ft of elegant and versatile living space. Indeed, the principal residence comprises of 7 bedrooms, all of which enjoy their own charm and characteristics, 6 bathrooms, 3 reception rooms, a bespoke shaker kitchen, a utility room, cloakroom and extensive cellars. Notable features include: period high ceilings, tall windows with shutters, original fireplaces, and oak ceiling joists.

The Dairy:
A wonderful addition, The Dairy is a beautifully configured, self-contained wing, extending to over 1,900 sq. ft of polished accommodation. Separate to the main house, yet seamlessly integrated, it extends to 5 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, a spacious reception room, a Shaker style kitchen, a utility room, and a cloakroom. The Dairy affords a variety of use: extended guest accommodation or an income generating rental are but two options. Regardless of its use, it enjoys complete privacy, with its own garden and the added benefit of being connected to the main house on the ground and first floor.

Grounds:
The gardens and land are a fabulous extension of the property: to the rear, a striking courtyard is framed by over 5,000 square feet of stone outbuildings. A wonderful reminder of the estate's notability, they present a remarkable and enviable opportunity for redevelopment and/or adaption. Among them, a former cart-house, currently used as a party barn, sits aside a vintage caravan storage space, furthermore, the remaining outbuildings, with their soaring beams and palpable historic value, offer endless and vast potential: guest cottages, leisure facilities, or executive garaging are but an example (subject to the necessary planning permission). The established grounds extend to 18.4 acres, (which includes acreage for High Bank) and complement the grandeur of the estate beautifully. Formal gardens blend into meadows, paddocks, orchards and woodland, all of which are enhanced by a meandering brook and tranquil pond. With multiple gated access points, the land lends itself perfectly for equestrian enthusiasts or simply lovers of the the outdoors. Having the great benefit of electric hook ups (three phase electricity) together with water and waste points, it provides further potential for such activities as glamping, camping or shoots. Of particular note is the beautifully designed formal garden with two fountains, the meandering valley brook passes through, creating a quite stunning feature. In addition, a long private dive sweeps to the main house, setting it back from the village, creating complete privacy.


High Bank:
Nestled at the top tier of the grounds is a highly attractive detached bungalow which enjoys a light and bright feel and affords an idyllic, relaxed retreat. Fitted to a pleasing standard, it offers comfortable and relaxed living: comprising in brief of sitting room, fitted kitchen, two bedrooms and bathroom and just over 4 acres of land and stunning views.
