Denham, Eye

PROPERTY For those seeking character and rural living whilst retaining convenience then this property offers it in abundance. Located at the head of a long driveway shared with the neighbouring farmhouse and then leading to a private drive, the property is surrounded by established trees, hedging and fields giving seclusion and privacy.

The front door opens to a dramatic double height principal reception room with exposed timbers, woodburning stove and double doors out to the rear terrace. The room is 'L-shaped' with a dining room in one portion. Off here is an impressive vaulted double aspect kitchen/breakfast room with exposed brickwork and the restored original feeding troughs which make for a delightful feature. There is a separate utility room, w.c. and boot room.

There are two staircases from the main reception room. One leads to a snug which looks down on the ground floor and the other leads to a mezzanine study, again looking to the ground floor and with impressive feature double doors to the principal bedroom suite.

On the ground floor are two main bedrooms (one is being used as a dressing room), a wet room and a study. To the rear is a delightful room that is currently used as a studio but could easily be bedroom 4.

The property is approached via a 5 bar gate with parking for several cars. There is a detached cart lodge with workshop attached to one end and a further barn that has been used for garaging. The grounds form a beautiful backdrop for the property. To the front is a large lawn bordered by mature trees leading to a terrace surrounded by established borders at the front of the property. At the rear is a further terrace for alfresco dining and a delightful pond. There is an orchard and kitchen garden and the whole garden has been given as much attention as the barn.
