Stoney Lane, Curry Rivel

A beautifully presented and substantially extended and improved detached family home, standing in large gardens with useful outbuilding and attractively situated on the outskirts of this popular village

The property

Built in 2001, this handsome detached family home has been substantially enlarged and improved by the current owners and is offered in excellent order. Most notably the owners have added a superb garden room to the rear of the property which affords lovely views over the garden and provides a large open plan living space. On the first floor are 4 bedrooms, one with en suite shower room and dressing room, and a further family bathroom. The property is double-glazed and has oil-fired central heating. The mature and well stocked gardens extend to about 0.3 of an acre and provide a stunning setting for the house and afford it a high level of privacy. There is a large barn providing garaging, storage and workshop, with the potential to create an annexe (STP).

The accommodation

The  large open plan kitchen/dining/garden room is very much the heart of the house and provides a spacious and flexible living space.  The garden room has bi-fold doors opening to the rear garden and affords lovely views over the garden and leads directly to a large paved terrace, ideal for alfresco dining.  The garden room has 2 large lanterns providing excellent natural light and the room features a woodburning stove.  The kitchen has been refitted by the current owners and has built-in appliances, and a useful pantry/store and a separate utility cupboard.  A side hallway gives access to a ground floor shower room.  From the dining area double pocket doors open to the triple aspect sitting room with fireplace with inset stove. Built in cupboards. 

First floor

Stairs from the entrance hall lead to the galleried landing with airing cupboard and access to loft space. The principal bedroom  enjoys an outlook over the rear garden and has an ensuite shower room. Adjacent to the principal bedroom is a dressing room with built-in drawers and hanging rails. There are 3 further bedrooms, one currently used as an artist studio. The family bathroom has been fitted in Art Deco style. 

Outside

Lapis House stands in a good-sized plot of about 0.3 of an acre. To the front of the house is a gravelled area of garden, enclosed by metal fencing and featuring a beautiful, mature copper beech tree.  A generous driveway provides parking and gives access to a gateway opening onto the rear garden with further parking.  The rear garden is attractively landscaped and immediately to rear of the house is a large paved terrace, with lawn beyond with flower and shrub borders and featuring a further copper beech tree. There is also a further paved terrace beyond the barn with vine and olive tree.

Within the garden is a large former barn, offering a combination of garaging, storage and workshop spaces. This building provides an ideal opportunity to create an annexe, subject to seeking the necessary  regulations and planning approval.
