Period house with a detached annexe in a wonderful tranquil setting with mature garden.
This early 19th century coach house known as Clock House because of the pretty clock on its roof that chimes at 9.00 am, noon and 6.00 pm - was once part of the original Hurts Hall estate.
Converted fourteen years ago with simplicity and elegance, the building stands within a mature garden, leading out into woodlands and fields; a lovely walled garden adjoins the house.
All the rooms are light and well-proportioned and either overlook the courtyard garden or the south facing main garden.
Double doors open to an impressive reception hall which opens to an inner hall. Off this is the kitchen which has base mounted units and a full height storage unit as well as a walk-in larder and ample dining space.
The sitting room is a light and well-proportioned room with oak flooring and large windows as well as a fireplace housing a wood burning stove.
There is a further family room and a wet room with utility area. An oak staircase rises to the first-floor landing, off which are four generous bedrooms, a family bathroom and a further bath/shower room.
ANNEXE
A stylish eco-house, designed and built by the present owner, provides a delightfully private two-bedroom second home at the back of the garden with its own fine views.
The interior has stripped pine flooring throughout, with the front door opening to the entrance hall leading to the open plan kitchen and dining area. The sitting room features a wood burning stove.
There is a lawned garden to the side and an attractive paved rear courtyard housing a delightful Shepherd's hut which has views over the adjoining countryside.
OUTSIDE
A shingle drive, providing ample car parking, runs along the front of the main house with an adjacent paved walkway flanked by flower and shrub beds links the walled garden and the main garden to the south.
The lovely walled garden has stone and brick pathways, a pergola adorned with climbing roses and honeysuckle and a variety of fruit trees.
The south facing main garden features a large stone paved terrace accessed from both the kitchen and sitting room and is ideal for outdoor entertaining. Beyond is a large lawn with herbaceous borders and a variety of trees including mulberry, apple and cherry.
Located in between the house and the annexe is a timber workshop and a greenhouse. To the rear of the main house is a cycle store and boiler room.

Clock House is a superb and exceptionally handsome 19th century property, with wonderful south-facing gardens. I love the "Eco House" annexe and shepherd's hut.
