Additional Information

Under the current tenure, the comprehensive programme or renovation has included updating the roofs of all buildings and fitting new timber sash and sliding sash windows throughout the house along with underfloor heating across the ground floor. The addition of an eastern wing has created a garden room and study along with a principal bedroom suite on the first floor. Handmade two-inch bricks and ornate brickwork were assiduously matched with the original seventeenth century building to create a seamless extension. Additional fittings include an engineered oak floor, recessed downlights and new panelled doors. Of the original building, there are some sturdy oak ceiling beams, an Inglenook fireplace, an ornate cast iron fireplace in the bedroom, concealed panelling behind a stud wall and a single remaining window with the original ‘crown glass’.

Double doors, with panelled glazing, open to the reception hall. This room sits in the seventeenth century part of the house, displaying a sturdy ceiling beam and a trace of the original inglenook fireplace, and serves as a large dining room. The elegantly proportioned sitting room, also with exposed beams, is double aspect with large paned sash windows with window seats facing south across the garden. There is a wood-burning stove within an inglenook fireplace. At the back of the house is the cinema room which is wired for a projector screen. Double doors open to the kitchen/breakfast room, a family living space with a Travertine floor, kitchen units constructed of solid oak and a lovely outlook. The kitchen includes a large island unit with a family-sized breakfast bar, two Butler sinks, integrated appliances, a Rangemaster cooker and a traditional north-facing pantry. Alongside is a cloaks/boot room, a utility/laundry room and a separate WC. Within the recent extension is a versatile garden room/games room with fitted wardrobes and cupboards and beyond is the purpose-built study, double aspect with an external door.

On the first floor, five bedrooms are accessed from the landing. The principal bedroom suite is part of the recent extension. It is self-contained on the eastern wing with a large bedroom that rises into the roof space, double aspect with tall sliding sash windows, a fitted dressing room with laundry cupboard plumbed for a washing machine and dryer, and an en suite shower room with a remote control power shower. All bedrooms are doubles and there is a further bedroom with an en suite shower room fitted with Travertine and includes a rainfall shower and heated towel rail. The house bathroom is part panelled and elegantly fitted with a freestanding bath and a vanity unit with basin.

Outside

A long tarmacadamed drive follows a well-established beech hedge and leads to a parking bay for two cars in front of secure timber gates within an ornate brick arch. To the front of the house is a sunny paved and gravelled terrace with a raised bed, facing south across the lawns to a tree shelter belt that marks the southern boundary of the property. The drive continues to the rear of the house where there is a turning area with ample parking. An enclosed, lawned garden is scattered with apple and plum trees. On the western side of the property is an expanse of wooded garden underplanted with snowdrops, bluebells and daffodils, and criss-crossed with green pathways. A large wildlife pond with an island lies at the far end, and adjacent lies a rose garden and white-flowering magnolia tree.

Cottages & Outbuildings

Cottages

In 2019 the handsome seventeenth century barn was skilfully divided into two cottages each with accommodation of around 1500 sq ft, arranged over two floors. The cottages are currently used as two successful holiday lets although a concealed interlinking door enables it to be let as a single unit. The cottages are accessed by a separate drive terminating in a large car park and each has an enclosed garden to the front and rear with lovely views behind. The cottages both have double-height ceilings into the roof space on the first floor and display original features including exposed brickwork and oak beams. ‘Ow Do’ has a superb 32 ft kitchen/dining/living room with exposed roof trusses. The kitchens and bathrooms are fitted to a high specification and both cottages are efficient to run with double-glazed windows, underfloor heating served by a ground source heat pump.

Annual turnover and occupancy rates are available upon request.

Outbuildings

On the other side of the drive from the house is a traditional brick outbuilding with a pantile roof, fitted with power and light and enclosed by timber fencing. The outbuilding extends to nearly 1000 sq ft and holds four units: a store holding the biomass boiler and hopper, a large workshop unit, a further storage facility and a garage for a ride-on mower.
