Property description

THE PROPERTY This substantial home was built in the 1920's and was once a wing of a locally well-known family home.

The property is approached via a long shingle driveway that leads to a large parking area and gardens.

On entering the ground floor there is a formal Dining Room with French doors opening onto the gardens, Sitting Room with open fireplace, a Snug/Study and Kitchen/Breakfast Room with Utility Room, with all of the principal reception Rooms overlooking the South facing gardens.

To the first floor there is a Master Bedroom, three/four further Bedrooms and a family Bathroom with separate shower. Although the accommodation is generous there historically has been planning permission granted for a loft conversion for two further Bedrooms and a Bathroom, which is believed could be reinstated.

The gardens, which are a particular feature face south and measure at approximately one acre, laid to lawn with a variety of mature trees and shrubs with a pretty brick built Summerhouse. The raised sun terrace is accessed from the Dining room and steps down to a further raised decked area overlooking the gardens.
