An exquisite former Coach House with separate annex and delightful gardens in a popular village location.
Dating back to the late 1800's, the Coach House is a charming family home with a large footprint, separate annex and exceptional, lawned gardens.
The property is set back from the road and is approached via a block paved drive leading to a large, gravelled parking area . There is a single garage, electric gates, an oak framed car port and log store. A delightful wisteria covers the front of the property as well as an espalier pear tree. A flagstone path leads to an impressive, oak framed porch. There is a spacious entrance hall with engineered oak flooring and exposed oak beams. There is an ornate ceiling rose with chandelier lighting as well as intricate cornicing. The living room, at the end of the hall, is substantial and carpeted throughout with a duel aspect, Crittall windows and log burner with marble hearth and surround. The room has been recently decorated and provides an exceptional space for entertaining. Double doors off the hall lead to the open plan, farmhouse kitchen/dining room with slate flooring, exposed timber beams and ample space for dining. There is a charming Aga as well as integrated Bosch appliances including an oven/grill, four ring induction hob, dishwasher and fridge. There are a range of wall and base units with granite worktops and two Villeroy and Boch sinks. There are lovely views out onto the rear garden via double glazed windows. Off the dining room is a substantial orangery (installed 2013) with lovely views onto the garden. A tiled utility room sits at the end of the kitchen housing the boiler and plumbing for white goods, additional Bosch double oven / grill and sink. There is also a modern WC with sink.
The upstairs is accessed via a carpeted oak staircase. The first floor landing is characterful with ornate ceiling roses, chandelier lighting and intricate cornicing as well as dado railing. The modern family bathroom is on the left with a large bath tub, separate rain shower and contemporary tiling. Bedrooms two, three and four look out over the rear garden through dormer windows. These rooms are carpeted and comfortable doubles with high ceilings and characterful features. The principal suite is exceptional and of an excellent size with engineered oak floorboards, a duel aspect and bespoke, built-in wardrobes. There is also intricate ceiling architecture and chandelier lighting. The Porcelanosa en suite is particularly stylish with slate and contemporary tiling, underfloor heating and walk-in rain shower.
Adjacent to the property is a fantastic and very well presented one bedroom annex with Karndean flooring, spot lighting and a modern en suite shower room. This would work very well for multi-generational living or renting out.
The gardens are simply superb with a large, level lawn and a colourful herbaceous border including David Austin roses, peonies, hydrangeas as well as a number of trees including palm and silver birch. There is a delightful wildflower garden as well as a charming, timber framed Woodpecker Joinery Cedar greenhouse and a large flagstone terrace for al fresco dining. To the rear of the property are three raised beds for fruit and vegetable growing.
The property is being sold with no onward chain.
