A quintessential Grade II listed house ideally located in the heart of the village
Located in an enviable position overlooking the village green, Peartree & Miles is a fine example of a Grade II listed village home. Formerly two farm workers cottages believed to date back to the 17th century, the cottages were purchased and converted into a single dwelling in the 1970s. In recent years this beautiful home has been sympathetically extended and re-furbished by the current owners, retaining a wealth of original charm and character features including period fireplaces and an abundance of exposed beams.
The two main reception rooms are located either side of the reception hall, with a guest cloakroom and adjacent boot room. The double aspect sitting room features a beautiful inglenook fireplace with a wood burning stove, while twin double French doors open out on to the terrace and garden. A quietly situated study lies adjacent, again with doors to the garden. The formal dining room is full of character, heavily beamed with a feature fireplace and leads into a charming snug with bespoke fitted cabinetry and integrated fridge, ideal as a bar/drinks cabinet. Overlooking the garden, the kitchen/breakfast/family room is a particular highlight featuring a vaulted oak frame design with a family/dining area and French doors to the outside terrace. The beautifully appointed kitchen is bespoke fitted with hand made cabinets complemented by composite worktops and integrated appliances including an induction hob, double oven with warming drawer, single oven, built-in fridge and dishwasher. A large island unit gives breakfast bar seating and further storage. Additional cabinetry provides a cleverly designed utility cupboard giving ample storage with space and plumbing for appliances. A hallway just off the kitchen gives access to a shower room and two bedrooms, one with a range of fitted wardrobes.
From the reception hall a contemporary oak and glass staircase leads to two further characterful bedrooms on the first floor, both with a dual aspect and lovely garden views. The principal bedroom benefits from a built-in wardrobe and a spacious bespoke fitted dressing room. Adjacent lies a well appointed bathroom. The guest bedroom enjoys a luxurious en suite with a large walk-in shower and a freestanding bath.
Outside
Peartree and Miles enjoys an idyllic setting in the heart of the village. The wonderfully tended landscaped gardens wrap around the house, with large areas of lawn to the front and rear interspersed with well stocked shrub and floral beds. An attractive terrace adjoins the rear of the house giving ideal space for outside dining and to enjoy the garden. The gardens are well screened with high hedging and mature trees giving privacy. To the rear is a large double garage, approached from a side access road, together with vehicular gates on to a gravelled area in the far corner for additional parking. In all about 0.4 acres.
