A classically styled family house, standing in a prominent position in the village, with an attached paddock.
Pembroke House was designed and built in 1991 by renowned local firm Templeton Walker, of brick construction under a tiled roof. There is a lovely symmetry to the design with stone cills framing classic timber sash windows. The owners have lived here for over 30 years and since the house was built.
The house is approached from a gravel parking area at the front of the house, through the main door with attractive portico and classically-styled fanlight above. The generous dining hall provides an immediate warm welcome to Pembroke House. There is an impressive dual aspect sitting room with bay window, fireplace and pine mantle surround. French doors lead from the dining hall through into the conservatory, with quarry tile floor and full length blinds; a further set of French doors lead out to the garden, with a further set leading into the kitchen as well.
The kitchen has ample space for a breakfast table, with shaker' style wall mounted and base units under a Landford Stone marble top. There is a gas-fired Aga, integrated fridge, electric oven with gas hob and a Sheila's Maid' above. The utility room is just off with laundry facilities and door to the side garden.
Beyond this lies the detached double garage, of brick and block build under a tiled roof, with up and over doors. There is a workshop area with storage above and a separate garden store to the rear.
Stairs lead up from the central dining hall to a generous landing with bespoke curved handrails, typical of the Templeton Walker attention to detail and design. The first floor comprises three double bedrooms. The main bedroom has plenty of wardrobe space, a walk-in wardrobe and en suite shower room. The main guest bedroom has a vanity unit with dressing space and secret doors lead through to a large en suite shower room. A further double bedroom with ample wardrobe storage and lovely views over the rear garden. There is a family bathroom with shower over, large airing cupboard with hot water cylinder.
The second floor is accessed via a separate stairwell, leading to a small suite of rooms, comprising a lovely guest bedroom with dual aspect views, a smaller fifth bedroom with views over the rear garden, and a separate shower room. There is ample eaves storage.
Outside
The immediate garden comprises a very well-maintained rear lawn with deep herbaceous borders and provides a wonderful setting for this traditionally style family house.
Beyond the conservatory is a lovely stone-flagged terrace to enjoy the best of the garden views and evening sun. A rose clad pergola leads onto the formal garden at the rear with an area of orchard, topiary Yew and Box hedging. A hexagonal summer house provides a wonderful spot to enjoy the garden views and on to the paddock beyond.
There is field gate access to the back of the garden with a separate pedestrian gate onto the track to the side. Towards the upper part of the garden, a range of mature trees provide a lovely setting with a treehouse and swing. There are also various timber framed outbuildings for livestock and stores. A further field gate leads into the adjoining paddock extending to approximately 2.5 acres. A footpath runs along the top of the paddock and has been fenced off.

Pembroke House is a really warm, welcoming home. Templeton Walker always deliver a superb "product" and this is a great example of one of their original builds, with a careful eye for detail, both inside and out.
