SOLD
Guide price: £895,000 (subject to contract)

Main house: A pretty, compact house which despite having a period look and feel with stone mullioned windows was only constructed in the middle of the last century. The property greatly benefits from a charming detached two bedroom cottage within the grounds thus offering a great opportunity for either a dependant relative or live-in help. The house is approached through a five bar gate leading down a gravelled drive past parking for two cars outside the cottage and sweeping round to a further area offering parking for a number of vehicles and access into a large double car port built of timber construction and having two pairs of stables to either side. The house itself is approached either down a pathway or across the lawn leading to the front door which opens into a generous double height entrance hall with the staircase rising to the first floor. To the right of the hall is a good sized drawing room with fireplace and doors to the garden, to the left of the hall is the dual aspect dining room and to the rear of the hall is access into the kitchen/breakfast room, also off the hall is a cloakroom with a separate w.c.. The kitchen/breakfast room is divided into two areas arranged as a dining area off which is a large walk-in cupboard, the second area is the work area of the kitchen and has a large pantry. The dining area leads out into a lovely conservatory enjoying lovely views over and with four doors leading out into the garden. The wide staircase rises to the landing giving access to all of the bedrooms. The master bedroom is approached through a good sized dressing room/shower room. There are two further double bedrooms and a family bathroom. The potential fourth bedroom is currently set up as a studio sitting room and has a small balcony with lovely views over the gardens. The gardens are particularly beautiful and are made up of sweeping lawns with well stocked borders, a stream runs through the middle of the gardens, with bridges over in two places, finally coming out into the brook which passes along the edge of the garden between the field. A particular feature of the gardens are the substantial banks of Rhododendrons to the rear of the property. There are two good sized fields offering the opportunity for those with equestrian interests the chance to keep ponies/horses. Brook cottage: Within the gardens of the main house is the charming Brook Cottage overlooking the stream which passes through the property. The cottage is entered through the front door which leads to the well fitted kitchen/breakfast room and then three steps up to the sitting room, off the sitting room is a cloakroom, a coal hole and a utility cupboard. To the first floor are two bedrooms and a bathroom.
