Courtenay Pitts is set well back off the private lane. Built in 1959 the house has been redesigned and extended during the 30 year tenure of the present owners. It is now a light filled family home with high ceilings, expansive picture windows to all garden facing rooms, and a pleasing flow to the ground floor.

The generously proportioned kitchen/breakfast room features a limestone floor with underfloor heating, painted wooden units beneath granite worktops and sliding doors opening to the terrace and gardens beyond. There is also a walk-in larder and central island unit.

The sitting room, with large picture windows stretching the breadth of the south facing aspect, is a delight. Divided into two areas, the more formal sitting area has a working fireplace, with beautiful Carerra marble surround, and French doors to the gardens. A full-size awning, triggered by sunlight, provides welcome shade on hot days. The cosy snug end of this room is an inviting space with its bookshelf lined walls.

Outside
Electric wooden gates open to a generous gravel drive with ample parking and double garage to one side.

The beautiful and well-loved gardens are defined by box and yew hedging, mature shrubs and deep herbaceous borders. Mature sycamore, ash, chestnut and silver birch trees feature and an orchard boasts quince, mulberry, pear, apple and plum trees. As well as the large terrace that spans the sitting room and kitchen, there are two further smaller terraces, one beneath a pergola. Three interconnecting ponds add the peaceful sound of water to the garden.

Tucked away is a wood shed, garden store and greenhouse.

A spacious study, and more recently added music room, are flooded with light from Velux windows, as well as traditional windows, and offer great flexibility of use.

There is also a large boot room/utility room and a cloakroom downstairs.

Open tread stairs lead to the galleried landing. The principal bedroom leads to a large dressing room with two walls of fitted wardrobes and an en suite bathroom with bath and separate shower. There are four further bedrooms, a shower room and a further bathroom.
