A fine detached, character family house, with a delightful garden and adjacent paddock, while conveniently placed in a country lane, nearby to the mainline railway station.
This unlisted detached period house offers an abundance of detail, with a two storey extension providing generous reception space downstairs, hinting at a Regency era gentrification, and at the same time, providing for a sizeable, principal bedroom suite upstairs.
Features generally include an inglenook fireplace with wood burning stove to the snug and a classical period fireplace to the sitting room, linking to the dining room and with all three rooms having impressive beamed ceilings.
A good size tiled kitchen/breakfast room provides for everyday dining, having a gas four oven Aga as a key a focal point, with a Bosch larder fridge, Neff dishwasher and Microwave completing the line-up of appliances.
Upstairs there are five bedrooms, with a generous principal bedroom, complete with dressing room and en suite bathroom, as well as two bedrooms reached through a further lobby room, which could serve as an extra small sitting room, or a study. One of these bedrooms is en suite with a shower room and all the other bedrooms are served by the family bathroom.
Outside, the gardens surrounding the house are a delight, with a big variety of flowers, plants and trees and lawn on two sides. The grounds enjoy hedging to the boundaries and stone terracing at the rear of the house and to one side, by the stream. This stream runs through the garden as one enters the wooded area beyond the lawn, with three bridges providing crossing points to the far wooded bank beyond.
The adjacent paddock is reached on this far side by two of the bridges, one being next to the garage, which has a garden shed behind. The paddock also a five bar gated road access from here too, and rises steeply up at first from the lane ,making for a wonderful, secluded vantage point overlooking the house and garden, ideal for a children’s play area, and for entertaining facilities.

A particularly special memory for me is over the outlook on the house and garden from the adjacent small paddock, which I think offers great potential for entertaining.
