Substantial Georgian village property with cottage and stunning south facing garden views.
The house, in need of modernisation, offers a huge amount of scope and potential to create independent living for more than one family subject to the usual planning consents. The Georgian façade and two wings to the rear, provide versatile accommodation. The main house offers seven bedrooms and four bathrooms over three floors whilst the east wing can be used as a separate cottage. It consists of four bedrooms, two bathrooms, kitchen, dining room, sitting room and snug and wc. This could also be incorporated into the main house as further living space.
One enters the property from the front door into the breath-taking reception hall, with sweeping mahogany bannister and ornate coved cornice ceiling. This gives access through to the main reception rooms, rear hallway, and onto the kitchen/breakfast room. The drawing room is the largest of the two front rooms with an extraordinary amount of depth and ceiling height. Full height sash windows with working shutters furnish the room with ornate fireplace. The sitting/dining room has similar proportions with sash shuttered windows and fireplace. The west wing contains the kitchen/breakfast room with two sash windows allowing plenty of natural light into the room. There is a generous sized island unit with double sink and plenty of storage cupboards, electric aga, five ring electric hob, siemens double oven, coffee machine and built-in dishwasher. Through into the utility room there is space for a washing machine and tumble dryer with access to the cellar and rear courtyard.
On the first floor are bedrooms one and two both with en suite bathrooms, with sash windows overlooking the beautiful south facing gardens. From the rear corridor is access to both the first-floor east wing (the cottage) and west wing. The east wing comprises the cottage and the west wing comprises two bedrooms and a bathroom on the first floor and three bedrooms and a bathroom on the second floor.
Outside to the front of the property is a small courtyard with access to the village path and what could be a lovely walled kitchen garden. The driveway sweeps in from the west side of the house through stone pillars and then onto a gravel drive where there is parking for several cars. There is a double garage and outbuildings for storage. The mature gardens then sweep away from the house providing the most wonderful vista from the front of the property. There is an area of flat lawn interspersed with mature trees and shrubs, a gardener's haven! A wild wooded area runs at the bottom of the garden creating a wonderful secret garden!

I love the well established gardens and sense of secrecy in these breathtaking gardens which lead up to this fabulous house. Although it is located in the village it feels like the middle of the countryside!
