Property description

A superb detached country home presented in excellent order throughout and highlighting an array of period features typical from the era of construction. The property offers generous accommodation arranged over two levels, ideal for family occupation and extremely versatile in its layout offering easy adaption to create a completely self contained annexe if required. When viewing the property you immediately gain an indication of the calibre of this residence with a wealth of original features including sash windows, original window shutters and feature fireplaces to many of the rooms. The property offers the opportunity to purchase one of the county's most attractive period homes which offers a lovely living environment throughout.

Ground Floor Accommodation
To the ground floor a traditional panelled entrance door leads directly into a generous reception hallway with flagstone flooring. Without doubt the heart to the home is the well equipped kitchen with Aga opening directly into an adjacent dining /breakfast room. There are three further formal reception rooms all of which showcase original features. The ground floor accommodation is completed with practicalities including a guest cloakroom, utility room and second kitchen as well as access to a cellar.

First Floor Accommodation
A traditional staircase rises to the first floor where a central landing leads to a master bedroom with adjacent dressing room as well as two further good sized bedrooms, and two family bathrooms. The rear wing of the first floor offers an additional three bedrooms and bathroom and this part of the property benefits from an independent secondary staircase which we feel could ideally suit those who require annexe accommodation.

Gardens & Grounds
The property stands within extremely mature gardens and grounds with a southerly aspect which are mainly laid to lawn with a nice variety of mature trees and specimen shrubs. The property sits behind double timber gates offering a degree of privacy whilst also nestling next to the former village church. To the eastern boundary of the property is a courtyard area and it is from here access can be gained to a range of traditional outbuildings currently providing generous garden storage.
