Additional Information

Formerly a coach house belonging to the neighbouring ‘The Lodge’, this property has been skilfully renovated, retaining some fine period features within its deep stone walls including restored ceiling beams and trusses. Its interiors are enhanced by high quality fittings such as traditional oak doors, architraves, skirtings, cupboards, wardrobes and floors along with a bespoke kitchen and contemporary bathroom fittings. There are timber sash windows along with striking arrowslit windows, and underfloor heating has been fitted throughout the entire ground floor with cast-iron column radiators on the first floor.

An impressively wide entrance door opens to a hallway that gives access to the kitchen/breakfast room and dining room. The kitchen/breakfast room is double aspect and part double height with exposed ceiling beams and deep sills. The bespoke Charles Yorke fitted kitchen with its ornate cabinetry includes a breakfast bar, oak and granite worktops, integrated Miele appliances (including dishwasher and large fridge), a double Butler sink and Falcon range cooker with gas hob and electric oven. The island unit comes with a sink and Quooker tap, integrated microwave and freezer. The Travertine tiled floor continues seamlessly to the dining room which is illuminated by two west-facing windows and has a wide doorway connecting to the garden; it comfortably accommodates a large, family-sized dining table. Off the hallway is a useful cloakroom housing a cupboard with the underfloor heating manifold, and a separate wc with vanity unit and cupboard containing the hot water tank. The sitting room is an elegant and well-proportioned room, part double-height with wide oak floorboards, French doors to the garden and featuring a Stovax dual-fuel stove within a brick-built fireplace. At the far end of the house is the study/home office, which would serve equally well as a snug or occasional bedroom. It has a drop-down ladder to a large boarded-out storage loft with light.

On the first floor, the principal bedroom has hand-made fitted wardrobes crafted in oak with cupboards, shelving and mirror doors. Steps lead down to the en-suite shower room, updated three years ago. It includes an underfloor electric heat mat, a Japanese style ‘super toilet’, vanity unit, walk-in shower, heated towel rail and a concealed storage unit that spans the length of the room. The second bedroom, also a double with a lovely view of the walled garden, has fitted oak cabinetry, plus loft hatch. The third bedroom with its south-facing window and oak cabinetry currently serves as a dressing room. The family bathroom has a contemporary three-piece suite including a corner shower and floating sink as well as an underfloor electric heat mat and heated towel rail.

Outside

Bespoke Iroko electric gates open to the property which is ideally orientated with the house facing due west. The gravelled drive sweeps around two sides, providing an ample parking and turning area and giving access to the outbuilding and garage. Two flights of shallow stone steps rise to the expansive area of lawn bounded by lofty mellow walls on two sides and adorned by colourful shrubs and climbers. The gravelled terrace extends across the front of the house to the northern boundary where there are two raised vegetable beds and a greenhouse on a paved al fresco terrace. There is outdoor lighting, an outside tap and an EV charging point.

Outbuildings

A detached stone outbuilding with stable door, window, original beams and separate gardener’s wc is fitted out as a utility/laundry room with electric radiator.

The detached modern double garage is currently used as a workshop with power and light, has concrete floors, mezzanine storage, electric door as well as a side door.
