Overview cont'd

The property is on the gated Garden Lane, which was originally the service road used by tradesmen for Tyringham Hall. The lane has been developed with some former outbuildings converted and other newer properties added. It has a central Flogas (LPG) storage tank with individual meters for each house, and drainage to two sewage treatment plants. Properties on the lane pay a quarterly service charge, currently about £450, for these and upkeep of the lane.

Ground Floor

Steps lead up to the main front door which opens into an entrance hall with a two piece cloakroom, stairs to the first floor, and access to the three main reception rooms. A separate door into no 9 leads into the kitchen/breakfast room.

Kitchen/Breakfast Room

The kitchen/breakfast room is in the converted barn. The kitchen was designed by JS Designs in Olney and has a range of full height, wall and base units with complementary work surfaces incorporating a one and a half bowl sink with a boiling water and flex hose taps. Integrated Neff appliances include a dishwasher, an induction hob, and hide and slide ovens, and there is space for an American style fridge/freezer. The vendors knocked through from the kitchen to the adjoining barn to create an open plan kitchen/breakfast room. The breakfast area has double doors to the rear garden, and a door to the front which the vendors use for day to day access. There is a built-in cupboard for coats and shoes, and access to a three piece shower room and a dual aspect study.

Reception Rooms

The drawing room is part of the extension in the Georgian era and measures over 30ft. by over 16 ft. It has dual aspect windows and doors to the rear garden, wall panelling, a working fireplace with a stone surround, and doors to the hall. The formal dining room has a bay window with shutters to the front, a range of built-in storage in a recess, and a chimney breast. The fireplace is currently blocked off but could be reinstated if desired. The third reception room also has a bay window to the front and is currently used as a snug. It has a door and steps down which link the Georgian house with the single storey converted barns.

Study/Potential Annexe

The study is accessed via the breakfast room and has Karndean flooring, dual aspect windows to the front and rear, a door to the garage, and a fireplace housing a log burning stove. The study is adjacent to the ground floor shower room and was used as a fifth bedroom by the previous owners. There is also scope to create a self-contained annexe by changing the adjoining garage into a kitchen/sitting room subject to obtaining any necessary planning permission. It already has power, a window, double doors to the garden and piping in place for water to facilitate a kitchen in the conversion if desired.

The stairs lead down to a room which has a window to the front, Karndean flooring, a built-in cupboard, and an understairs storage cupboard. This room is currently being used as an office for working from home but could also be used as a play or hobby room. A corridor from this room leads to the other main room which also has natural light from a window to the front, and built-in cupboards either side of a chimney breast. This room is currently used as a gym/games room. The utility room has space and plumbing for two laundry appliances and a door to the store room.
