Substantial and beautifully presented period home in a village setting
Briarwood House at Henderson Place forms part of the conversion of a Grade II listed manor house and dates back several hundred years. For a period, the house was used as a boarding school for boys - the original bell hangs on the exterior.
Internally the house has an abundance of character features including a magnificent historic fireplace in the dining room. The extra high ceilings and overall dimensions give the house a light and airy feel with tasteful modernisation giving the modern features one would expect. The substantial entrance hallway gives access to a double volume lounge with a dual aspect, fireplaces and exposed wooden flooring. A study/music room provides a private space to work from. The dining room as mentioned before enjoys an aspect over the rear garden with its fireplace taking centre stage. The custom built kitchen/breakfast room has a range of high quality units, walk in utility area and integrated Falcon range style cooker. There is space here for a dining table and doors give access to the garden.
On the first floor, there are three bedrooms with the principal bedroom suite featuring an impressive dressing room/ en suite with a free standing roll top bath and walk in shower. The two further bedrooms on this level both have en suites.
The top floor of the house essentially provides two further bedrooms and a shower room. There is a useful, large, walk in loft storage room.
The mature landscaped gardens are set behind a gated gravelled driveway which gives access to the triple garage block to the side of the house, which is currently used as a Games Room/Gym. There is a large lawn area and extensive patio with mature shrubs and flowers surrounding. Overall the house is set in ground of around 0.6 acres.

I love the height of the ceilings in this house so much original charm, big, airy receptions and a lovely setting too it's part of an historic manor house yet you feel very private once you go through the gates
