Well presented property in a glorious tucked away rural location.
Parklands was built around 1907 probably for workers on the Bradford Peverell Estate but significantly extended in the last two years. The original house has brick and flint bands, with hung clay tiles and a pitched slate roof. The extension is of painted white render, also with a slate roof. The property has well appointed accommodation over two floors, with some attractive rooms. A glazed entrance porch opens into the well fitted kitchen with stripped wood floor, island unit, feature stone wall and picture window framing the open country view. Adjacent to that is a sitting room with wood burning stove and picture window, beyond that is a study. Steps from here lead up to the main reception room in the new extension, a splendid large space with stripped wood floor, wood burning stove and impressive floor to ceiling window. A staircase from here leads up to the principal bedroom suite with gallery, vaulted ceiling, balcony and en suite shower room. Back in the original house, stairs lead up to a landing, three bedrooms and a family bathroom.
Outside
The house is approached along 2 miles of track from which there is a private area of parking to the rear of the house accessed through a gate. Alongside the parking area is an old stable/outbuilding. The gardens are a particular attraction at Parklands. A lawn rises gently from the front door past a pond to a level are of paddock which has been thoughtfully planted with some fine trees giving the house the Parkland view, appropriate given the name of the house. The house sits in about 1.5 acres in total amongst the glorious rural surroundings of the old estate.
