Description
An attractive country house with substantial annexe, set in a picturesque semi-rural location
A much-loved family home since 1986, this property offers classic, light, airy and versatile accommodation, with the current layout providing a main house and a substantial separate annexe. With its cream painted façade and pastel-toned window frames and external doors, this is an appealing property that offers well-presented interiors, an open ambience and a free-flowing design.
A bay window in the sitting room enhances the sense of light with floor to ceiling windows and doors allowing an outlook and access to the rear garden; architectural arched recesses to either side of the fireplace provide storage and display shelving. Internal doors link to a flexible-use library/study setting which has an open connection to a stunning orangery where natural light floods inside courtesy of a vast skylight lantern. This convivial setting provides a seamless transition to the garden terrace, extending the inside to the outside and offers ample space for al fresco dining and casual seating. The adjoining designer kitchen, in solid maple with granite worktops, is comprehensively fitted and features a breakfast bar unit.
On the first floor, the landing provides access to a family bathroom and three bedrooms, one benefitting from an en suite shower room, whilst a connecting door provides a route through to the annexe with two additional bedrooms and a bathroom, which form the upper level of the annexe. There is a separate staircase linking the ground floor of the annexe to the upper-level rooms while a second entrance door provides independent access to a dependent relative or a live-in nanny, or perhaps to provide an income stream.
This property has 0.5 acres of land. Outside
The landscaped garden enjoys a southerly aspect and offers a delightful outdoor haven with a backdrop of farmland providing a sense of a borrowed landscape. Features of note include a 'ha-ha' around the perimeter and a charming, artfully carved, old willow tree trunk with a seat and animal depictions. A south-facing paved terrace, edged by low-level clipped box hedging, spans the rear of the house and annexe offering opportunities for outdoor dining and relaxation, and an expanse of lawn offers plenty of space for children’s play. To the side and partitioned by trellising, there is a gravelled setting with a well-stocked formal pond and a water-feature.
At the frontage, the area of lawn has mature fruit trees referencing the old orchard on which the property was built, and a gravelled driveway provides parking for several vehicles and gives access to the detached garage.
Services: Mains electricity, water and drainage; oil-fired central heating to main house; electric storage heaters to annexe. Gigaclear fibre fast broadband to front gate
Council Tax: House - Band E, Annexe – Band B
