This attractive Grade II listed house is located in an idyllic position, within the Cranbrook School Catchment Area, and enjoys fantastic rural views.

The house is of brick construction with tile hung upper elevations and offers characterful accommodation, with many period features including exposed beams, timbers and inglenook fireplaces. The front porch opens into a spacious reception hall with a large inglenook fireplace. To one side, the formal dining room has a window to the front. A door leads through to the double aspect drawing room which has an attractive brick fireplace with bressummer beam, a window to the front and a charming oriel window overlooking the gardens.

A rear hall gives access to a ground floor bathroom and further reception room (currently used as a bedroom) and a lovely conservatory with double doors opening out to the beautiful gardens. This area allows the flexibility to create an annexe if a buyer required with the option to include a first floor bedroom. On the first floor, the spacious landing provides access to the five bedrooms as well as a family bathroom and separate w.c. The fifth bedroom has access to a staircase leading down to the rear hall on the ground floor. Agents Note: We understand that the property has had historical subsidence (approximately ten years ago) but the current owners advise us that this was dealt with at the time. Outside, the house is approached off Walkhurst Road over a driveway leading to the parking area and detached brick built garage with store room above. A pathway leads to the front door of the house. Adjacent to the house there is an attractive detached outbuilding built of brick with tile hung upper elevations. This building provides a workshop/store with attached w.c. as well as a studio on the first floor. The mature gardens and grounds surround the property and adjoin beautiful countryside. The gardens are laid to lawn with a multitude of trees and shrubs and in all the property extends to 0.75 acres. A further 13.15 acres of land are available by separate negotiation. The land adjoins the gardens of Burnt House and comprises two fields, an old orchard and a strip of woodland which runs down the north side of the Workhouse Gill to the main stream. There is also access, from the woodland, to a public footpath. Please note: there will be an overage agreement on this extra land - details available upon request.
