Overview
Dating back to the late 1800s, this imposing period property still retains the grandeur of a bygone era, showcasing many character features and architectural details. These include elegant sash windows, excellent ceiling heights, original fireplaces, panelled walls, and polished wooden floors.
As one would expect of a property of this caliber, the principal reception rooms are impressive and provide significant spaces for both formal and informal entertaining, possessing both pleasing proportions and fine detailing. The ground floor is entered via a reception vestibule, opening into a stately reception hall that creates a tremendous sense of arrival and sets the tone for the character of this building. The hall features a polished wood floor, a splendid staircase, and a ‘nook’ that provides options for a number of uses including a library/reading area.
The drawing room is especially inviting with its original working fireplace, wood paneled walls and French doors opening the room out to the garden, and the dining room also has a grand presence with wood paneled walls, polished wood floor, three sets of sash windows, and an Adam-style fireplace. The spacious kitchen/breakfast room, fitted with an extensive range of units and appliances, benefits from direct access to a courtyard garden with useful storage rooms and gated access to the rear driveway, parking and the double garage. The ground floor accommodation is completed by a cloakroom, situated off the reception hall.
On the first floor, the accommodation is arranged around a generous split-level landing with a skylight and is laid out to provide five bedrooms (one with an en suite bathroom), a sixth bedroom/dressing room, two bathrooms and a shower room.
Outside
Set within beautifully landscaped gardens, the property is approached via electric gates opening onto a driveway that culminates within the pretty walled front garden containing a rose bed turning circle.
The garden comprises an area of lawn with a variety of well-stocked flower borders and beds, and an original wrought-iron pedestrian gate set within the wall affords access to a ‘secret’ lawned garden with mature shrubs, trees and hedging providing seclusion and privacy. There is also a woodland area, an outdoor heated swimming pool, a pool plant room, and two sheds. Adjoining the house is a heated garden room with double doors opening out to the front garden and also a door providing access to the garage area. This room could be utilised as an office or hobby room.
Services: Mains electricity, gas, water and drainage.
