Internal Descriptions - Approached via a lavender-lined pathway, the property is entered beneath an impressive portico into a grand and welcoming reception hall, where timber flooring and a turning staircase immediately establish the character and proportions of the house. The principal drawing room is an elegant and beautifully proportioned space, with sash windows overlooking the gardens, a feature fireplace and fitted shelving and cupboards, while a second generous reception room provides a superb living and dining space with views across the south-facing garden and a fireplace with Bath stone hearth and surround. A further reception room, currently used as a home office, offers excellent flexibility and could equally serve as a playroom, music room, snug or additional sitting room.

The kitchen is both spacious and practical, with fitted cabinetry, parquet flooring and attractive leaded-light windows allowing plenty of natural light, while a walk-in larder provides useful additional storage. A separate butler’s kitchen offers further preparation and cooking space, particularly useful for entertaining, and from the kitchen a secondary entrance hall leads to a generous utility and boot room with direct access to the garden. A bright conservatory provides an additional living space, while a guest cloakroom completes the ground-floor accommodation. The turning staircase rises to a galleried first-floor landing with five double bedrooms and a family bathroom, while the second floor provides two further generous double bedrooms, a shower room and a spacious landing area. The property also benefits from a substantial cellar, approached by stone steps and divided into three separate rooms, one of which houses the boiler and pool equipment.

External Descriptions - Rudloe House is approached via a gated driveway providing ample parking for several vehicles, in addition to a double garage with power and light and a separate carport. The gardens are a particular feature of the property and provide a mature and established setting around the house, with areas of lawn framed by mature trees, shrubs and herbaceous planting, while the lavender-lined pathway creates an attractive approach to the principal entrance.

The gardens continue around the property to the rear, where an outdoor heated swimming pool with surrounding terrace provides a wonderful space for summer entertaining and relaxation. A summerhouse overlooks the natural pond, while further expanses of lawn are complemented by fruit trees, established borders and planting. There is also a greenhouse and garden shed, with the combination of mature planting, open lawn and more secluded corners creating a varied and attractive outdoor environment.
