Georgian village house, beautifully modernised, with impressive detached annexe, coupling period charm with contemporary style, situated within this highly sort after village.

Thought to date back to the 1640's with later additions in 1750's, primarily built of stone under a tiled roof with brick extensions and a slate roof to the rear. The property consists of a wealth of period features including oak beams, fireplaces, flagstone and wooden flooring as well as modern features such as underfloor heating in the kitchen/dining room. The central kitchen island is a focus point of the room with bespoke units by Balthaup, high quality Okite work surfaces and limestone flooring. A particular feature of the kitchen is the impressive floor to ceiling oak and glass window with views over the main garden.

The ground floor of Ivy House is suitable not only for family living, but also for entertaining. The drawing room has a large inglenook fireplace with wood burner, and dual aspect stone mullioned windows. Beyond is a separate dining room with flagstone floors and working fire. The sitting room is less formal and benefits from French doors opening onto the west facing terrace. The first floor comprises a family bathroom, three double bedrooms, large dressing room with private access to an en suite shower room. The second floor comprises two double bedrooms each with gable end windows and exposed beams. The landing has been converted to a small media space with a separate cloakroom.

Annexe - The former barn, now the annexe, has been extensively refurbished and transformed into luxury further accommodation. The glass and oak frontage draws considerable light in to the building on both the ground and first floor. Downstairs the annexe comprises a large double bedroom, separate shower room and office. A sweeping curved staircase leads to the first floor with large open plan living space and shower room.

The gardens are a particular feature. The front garden is set behind a stone wall with formal box hedging. Stone pillars give access to the driveway that extends to the rear of the property. The garage has parking for five cars with a remote controlled rolling door. Adjoining the garage is a separate cycle store with ample storage above and temperature controlled cellar/wine room. The rear garden is a combination of lawn, well stocked herbaceous borders and young and mature trees. The gardens were designed by the award winning James Alexander-Sinclair. To the west steps descend to a private terrace perfectly placed for outside entertaining. This area of garden is sheltered by borders and yew hedging.
