The stunning Kitchen is a cook’s delight, spacious and light with expansive views from the breakfast area across the private rear gardens through the double patio doors. Fully-fitted in the palest of grey units, complimented by solid black granite worktop, a large central Island offers both integrated gas hob and electric oven, breakfast bar to one end, while above is a pan rack with task lighting. A range of storage units also conceal space for a dishwasher, an integrated fridge /freezer, pantry cupboards and a centrally positioned Gas Aga.
The rear entrance to the property has direct access to the Boot Room with peg rails and further storage. Beyond lies the spacious Utility with a large, double press, utility sink, kitchen base and wall units and room for three appliances. Beyond that still is a Downstairs WC with basin unit.
The Hallway leads up a flight of stairs to the open Landing providing light to the centre of the home and a picture window overlooking the front garden. Off this are the 4 double bedrooms, family bathroom, shower room and airing cupboard.
The Master Bedroom has twin, double built-in wardrobes either side of an original fireplace and lovely views to distant hills.
Bedroom Two has an original fireplace with tile surround, two built in cupboards and a window overlooking the front lawn.
Bedroom 3 has views to the south and a vanity sink unit. Bedroom 4 is a small double bedroom currently used as a dressing room with fitted wardrobes and drawer units.
Off the landing, a walk-in Airing Cupboard housing the hot water tank and plenty of shelving for linens.
There is a light, modern Family Bathroom with a Villeroy and Bosch suite of basin, bidet, WC and bath with centre-mounted taps and a retractable shower head. There is a separate Shower Room with shower cubicle, basin, bidet and WC.
On the third floor the Attic Rooms have exposed beams and would prove any teenager’s dream space for work, study or play. A large attic room, currently used as a playroom, would make a suitable sitting room or study, while a hall with built-in wardrobes leads past a Shower Room with basin, WC and shower cubicle to a characterful and airy Double Bedroom with built in shelving. The attic can be used as a guest suite or ample space for a teenager.
Outside
The extensive grounds are certainly a gardener’s paradise where gravel paths wind through flower beds carefully dividing up formal gardens, over an acre of mainly lawned gardens, woodland area and a rear large garden / potential paddock leading down to a brook and overlooking the apple orchards. The formal garden is landscaped with herbaceous borders, established trees and shrubs and houses a beautiful stone pond abundant with wildlife and water lilies. Through a gateway lays a vegetable garden of raised beds, greenhouses and rose obelisks and is as productive in herbs, vegetables, soft and top fruit. The vegetable garden has both a water and electrical supply.
Wilder Woodland areas beyond offer a tree-swing and den-building secret haunts and a wide, open lawned garden which huge scope to paddock off, bordered by a scenic babbling brook.
The outdoor heated swimming pool is another delight of these private gardens, while outbuildings offer tool stores, dog kennel and log stores.
The large double height Games Room with power, offers myriad opportunities for the pursuit of artisan endeavours or, with the relevant planning permissions, could be a fully-functioning Annexe. Lastly the huge Dutch Barn with original stabling, garaging and storage as well as a full length hayloft above again offers untold possibilities.
