Unique country property, secluded yet not isolated

Description

The entrance porch leads to a hall off which is a spacious drawing room with wood-burner and a comfortable book-room/study, also with a wood burner. This could be used as a fourth bedroom having an adjacent bathroom. Then through an archway to a galleried landing with stairs to the lower ground floor. Off this landing are the dual aspect dining room with an archway to the drawing room and a large kitchen/breakfast room. There are outstanding south facing views.

Upstairs to the first floor landing and three large double bedrooms, one en suite and a bathroom. Extensive fitted cupboard and storage space in all rooms. Airing cupboards and two hot water tanks, one with an immersion heater on a time switch as required.

Downstairs to the lower ground floor where there is a hall with door to the terrace and a lavatory. Then to a large dual aspect office and a spacious sun room also with terrace door, much used throughout the year. This level has full length primary glazed windows throughout, facing South with outstanding views. Utility / boot room and boiler/store rooms adjoin.

There is oil-fired heating with a recently replaced boiler and tank; private water and drainage.

Outside, there is ample parking on the forecourt with a three bay carport and adjacent workshop. A double side gate leads down to the South side of house where a stone flagged terrace runs the length of the building with a smaller terrace below. A stone built log and ladder store with wrought iron doors runs along the East end of the property. There are stone garden stores at each end of the main terrace and a stone built BBQ with canopy.

Three lawns on separate levels slope down to the orchard with easily maintained flower beds, mature shrubs and trees. Below this is a drying water feature, now being planted as a marsh garden, surrounded by trees and a path.

There are five fields and paddocks totaling approximately 3.4 acres, ringed by trees and well fenced. A useful range of five outbuildings including a barn, sheds and shelter provides ample weather-proof storage and stabling potential.
