This substantial, Edwardian home offers an immediate sense of space on entering the generous reception hall from which the ground floor rooms flow. The decorative condition is excellent with an appealing pallet of subtle colours.

There is enormous versatility afforded by 5 separate reception rooms and the large kitchen/breakfast room. Of particular note is the elegant drawing room which leads directly into an orangery, the family/ media room with an integrated sound system, and for entertaining, a dining room. There is also a cosy snug. The orangery is an 'all year around' room that interacts very effectively with the wonderful garden.

Equally flexible depending on one's lifestyle, are the upper floors. The generous landing leads to an expansive bedroom suite with a separate dressing room, together with an en-suite shower room. This could be utilised as the principal suite if one has small children. Alternatively, there is a spectacular bedroom suite that occupies the entire second floor. Also on the first floor are 4 bedrooms and two further bath/ shower rooms, one of which is en-suite too. Notable is the amount of natural light delivered by large sash windows.

The top floor is particularly striking with extensive bespoke cabinetry, walk-in wardrobes and a generous shower room. The commanding views of the garden from the cathedral style window are appealing too.

Outside

The approach across the village green along a gravel driveway, gives a real sense of arrival. Automated wooden double gates open onto a hard landscaped driveway upon which one could comfortably park over half a dozen cars, and there is a double garage with an electric 'up and over door' on a remote. There is imaginative landscaping to the borders at the front of the house.

To the back and over the garage, there is a kitchen, shower room and bedroom which could provide annexe accommodation or as it has been for our clients, a 'home' working option.

The beautiful garden has been carefully and thoughtfully landscaped with various mature shrubs, plants and specimen trees, and an orchard area which has pear and apple trees (cooking and eating varieties). A highly specified greenhouse and a summer house, both with power, are complemented by machinery and storage sheds. There is also a fenced pond stocked with Koi Carp.
