Property description

The Old House is the result of a 17 year labour or love: an outstanding blend of quintessential period charm with modern efficiency which provides flexible and versatile five/six bedroom accommodation including a first floor annex.

Developed by the sellers from a near derelict shell on an overgrown plot it is now a superb combination of inside and outside spaces with a series of stunning landscaped gardens which cater for all moods and seasons. 

The welcome is immediately evident from the impressive 24' reception hall – formerly used as a music school and as the venue for numerous parties – which forms the physical centre of the home. The house then divides into logical sections of which the undoubted heart is the chef designed, bespoke kitchen with its concealed work surfacing, space saving units and access to the breakfast terrace. There is grandeur in the forward facing drawing room, the formal dining room and in the retention of the historic linen press and wardrobe on the first floor landing. There is a relaxed intimacy and privacy in the light and airy bedrooms and the quiet sitting room together with luxury in the modern well appointed family bathroom and in the two en-suites. 
The family room with its home cinema is an additional indulgence and the first floor annex with lounge/kitchenette ensures that the whole family – young or old – is equally catered for. 

Set back beyond a broad reception area, The Old House wears its history well: from its modest origins to a residence used to barrack soldiers in World War II it is an integral, loved part of the village. It is, however more than its parts: it is space and style – space for the family to grow and to live and style to enchant and delight.

Above all this is the home \"that everyone calls home\".
