This very attractive Grade II Listed Georgian house is in excellent decorative condition and it enjoys a very private feeling setting and all within a level walk of all of the villages excellent amenities.

The house has been a much loved family home for over 20 years, during which time it has been considerably improved and it now offers a very rare and sought after combination that includes a beautiful family sized principal house, a separate 1 bedroom cottage, modern indoor heated swimming pool and large private gardens and grounds.

The property is accessed via electric gates that open onto a large gravelled driveway with a feature turning circle and parking for numerous vehicles. The first glimpse of the of the house as you enter the driveway is truly delightful. Its double fronted facade with central portico and symmetrical multi-pane windows are a picture perfect example of Georgian architecture at its best. As you enter, the pleasant high ceilings are the first thing you notice and the hallway then leads on to the staircase at the rear. Along its route you are flanked by the drawing and sitting rooms at the front and the dining room and study at the rear. The sitting room and drawing rooms are similar in size and both enjoy feature, southerly facing, floor to ceiling sash windows that look out across the front gardens, with views extending across the lane to the open fields beyond. Both rooms also have feature open fireplaces with wood burners in situ.

The breakfast/dining room looks out in to the easterly garden and links through to the kitchen at the rear of the house. The farmhouse style kitchen has magnificent flagstone slate flooring along with an Aga range cooker at its heart. Adjacent to the kitchen is a walk-in pantry and a large store room with a boiler room off it. The opposite side of the kitchen leads in to a porch that opens to the rear garden and a further door opens to the utility room and downstairs WC. A further porch-way is located beyond the utility room, on the western side of the house, opening out on to to the parking area. The ground floor study/reception room 3 is a good-sized room, offering space from which to work from home or the option of a ground floor 5th bedroom.

Upstairs, there are two split level landing areas. One is at the rear of the house and has a feature sash window overlooking the rear gardens and doors open into bedroom 2 and a shower room. Bedroom 2 is a good sized double bedroom, enjoying a very pleasant outlook across the rear gardens. The main landing is a spacious area that gives access to each of the remaining 3 double bedrooms and the family bathroom. Bedroom 1 is currently utilised as a large office/studio space, however this could easily be repurposed to a very good sized principal bedroom.

Externally
To the rear of the house is an attached one bedroom cottage, known as Rookery Barn. This excellent cottage is fully self-contained and is perfect for either visiting friends and family.

On the westerly side of the gardens is a very in-keeping, yet modern built detached pool house. This houses the indoor heated swimming pool and measuring internally approximately 39’ x 31’, the building is an excellent size and so is the pool. It is also very safe and secure due to it being contained by fully lockable French doors. The building is stone faced, giving it the appearance of a stone barn and so if the pool wasn’t required, it may have potential for other uses, subject to any requisite planning permission. The pool is heated by its own oil fired boiler and with its 3 sets of French doors opening to the main gardens, it provides a fantastic space to entertain with an adjacent patio area perfect for drinks and a BBQ.
