Superb village house with an annexe and attractive gardens.
Isle House is a wonderful Victorian, red-brick house within about 1.7 acres of superb grounds and with an excellent studio annexe.
The house is believed to principally date from the 1860s and has been expertly restored and expanded to create a stunning family home, comprising elegantly proportioned, light filled rooms, balancing period charm with comfortable contemporary living.
The front door opens on to a generous reception hall, which leads to the drawing room, sitting room, kitchen/breakfast room and cloakroom; stairs lead to the first floor bedroom accommodation.
The delightful, triple aspect drawing room has a handsome chimneypiece with an inset wood burning stove and a south facing bay window overlooking the parterre garden.
Beyond the drawing room is the well-proportioned dining room with an attractive brick fireplace and a pair of timber framed windows; it leads through to the study.
At the heart of Isle House is a spacious sitting room: French windows lead to a terrace and fill the room with natural light; doors lead to the kitchen/breakfast room and a lobby, which leads out to the garden.
The double aspect kitchen/breakfast room has an AGA, an oven with a gas hob, a double sink, and ample storage and work surface space. Beyond the kitchen is a laundry room and a separate boot room.
The first floor consists of five bedrooms and a family bathroom. The principal bedroom is an especially elegant room with a balcony and an en suite bathroom. There are fabulous views over the garden.
Annexe/Studio
To the south west of the principal building is a substantial, timber-clad outbuilding comprising an annexe/studio, store and double cart lodge.
The annexe/studio has a vaulted sitting room, with bi-folding doors leading to the office and French windows leading to a private courtyard and the kitchen garden. Completing the ground floor accommodation is a shower room; with a store on a mezzanine level.
Outside
Isle House sits within about 1.7 acres of spectacular and secluded grounds. Immediately to the rear of the house is an incredible parterre garden with clipped box hedging and various flower beds.
There are further areas of lawn, with a variety of mature and specimen trees, a small orchard with plum, apple, pear and quince trees, a croquet lawn, a terrace ideal for al fresco dining, and a kitchen garden.
A sweeping drive leads to the house, which provides ample parking for numerous cars. There are an additional two enclosed parking spaces within the cart lodge.
