A gracious period home set within beautiful and established gardens.
An elegant and substantial period country residence of considerable character, set within beautifully established gardens and approached via a generous gravel driveway, providing a striking sense of arrival. This charming family home offers well proportioned accommodation arranged over two floors, complemented by a detached garage and additional outbuildings.
The property is entered via a welcoming central hallway, immediately conveying the house’s grace and symmetry. To the front lies a delightful dining room room, rich in period character with sash windows and a beautiful open fireplace. A further sitting room provides an excellent informal living space, while the heart of the home is the spacious kitchen breakfast room, fitted with traditional cabinetry and leading to a light filled conservatory, perfectly positioned for year round enjoyment of the ground and with direct access to the garden. The ground floor accommodation is completed by a cloakroom.
To the first floor, the principal bedroom suite is a particular feature, offering excellent storage and an en suite bathroom, with French doors opening onto a private balcony overlooking the garden. There are three further bedrooms, all well proportioned and enjoying pleasant outlooks, served by a family bathroom and additional shower room. One of the bedrooms is currently arranged as a study, providing flexibility for home working.
Outside, the gardens are a major highlight, beautifully mature, predominantly laid to lawn and bordered by established trees, shrubs and flowering beds, creating a peaceful and secluded setting. A variety of seating areas are scattered throughout, allowing enjoyment of the garden at different times of day. There is also an additional piece of land to the rear, which is currently used as a large vegetable garden with a greenhouse and fruit cages, and more lawn space which could be made into additional formal garden or a wonderful children's play area.
There is gravel driveway to the front of the property and there is gated rear access which leads to a detached garage. Further outbuildings offer useful storage or potential for alternative uses subject to consents. Please note there is a flying freehold on part of this property.
This is a rare opportunity to acquire a gracious, characterful home combining elegant period features with generous, flexible living spaces, all set within a truly lovely garden environment.
Please note that there is a flying freehold on a portion the house and a fenced off public footpath between the main garden and the vegetable patch.
