Additional Information

This original brick-built farmhouse with slate roof has been renovated to include double-glazed Accoya wood sash windows to the front. A handsome two-storey extension features a superb kitchen/breakfast room that connects to the garden room via double sliding pocket doors. This marvellous, light-filled room extends some 30 ft, is triple aspect and has two full-size windows providing glorious views across the rear garden and a third picture window facing the charming ‘Spanish’ courtyard garden. There is a cast-iron gas stove and the room is further illuminated by five Velux windows, one of which opens via remote control. The contemporary Shaker-style kitchen is fully equipped with painted cabinets, Silestone work surfaces and integrated cooking appliances; it is complemented by a large utility/laundry room accessed through part-glazed internal French doors. The long inner hallway is illuminated by two lightwells and glazed sliding doors that open wide to the pretty rear courtyard. Two further reception rooms sit at the front of the house, with south facing bay windows, one with working shutters and one with modern louvre shutters.

An original staircase with striking carved newel post, slender spindles and a polished handrail rises to a split-level landing featuring two Victorian stained glass windows. The four double bedrooms are serviced by two bathrooms, one with a sitting bathtub under an overhead electric shower. Two of the bedrooms have fitted wardrobes/cupboards.

Outside

The house is set behind a charming front garden bounded by a low wall lined with flowering shrubs. A mesh below the lawn allows this area of garden to be used for occasional parking. Double timber gates sit at the head of the tarmacadamed drive which provides secure parking for a number of vehicles alongside an EV charging point. There also is a workshop/small garage with power and light.

The rear garden is notable for its scope and variety. In the southeastern corner is a detached summer house, cedar-framed with a pitched slate roof and windows that open wide to bring the outdoors in. Alongside is a patio area framed by a garden arch and a wildlife pond with rock garden and sustainable water feature fed through rainwater harvesting. The southern boundary wall is lined with a deep herbaceous border, abundantly planted, and lawns extend westwards with scattered trees such as rowan, silver birch, maple and eucalyptus. On the northwestern corner is a productive kitchen garden with a greenhouse, vegetable beds, a fruit cage and a small orchard comprising a variety of six espalier apple trees trained on the boundary fence, accompanied by jasmine and honeysuckle. A working section of the garden includes two timber sheds, a wood store, potting shed, composting zone and a useful area of hardstanding.

The entire rear garden is dog-proof with a discreet hedgehog hole within the eastern boundary fence.
