We have pleasure in offering to the market this really interesting, detached property that takes many internal and external design cues from two adjacent 18th century farm houses. The property was constructed in 2002 using recovered facing materials to give the benefits of modernity combined with period character. Overall the property provides a fascinating and versatile level of accommodation spanning two floors with significant scope for expansion.
The property extends to approximately 1,900 sq.ft., providing two main reception areas, including an attractive dual aspect sitting room with a wonderful feature exposed brick fireplace and beamed ceilings. In turn this links through into a stunning L shaped orangery with a clear glass roof which provides a fantastic additional reception space, large enough to accommodate both living and dining areas, and looks out onto both the courtyard garden and down towards the paddock. In addition there is a tastefully appointed breakfast kitchen that also links through into the orangery which, combined, creates an excellent flow perfect for everyday living. The kitchen is fitted with a generous range of bespoke units and integrated appliances with a useful utility/drying room off.
Leading off the central hallway is a ground floor double bedroom or alternatively an additional reception and this is serviced by an adjacent bathroom, perfect as a guest or teenage suite or could be utilised in later life allowing the property to function as purely a single storey home. To the first floor there are three further bedrooms with the master being a particularly generous suite with walk through dressing area, walk in wardrobe and ensuite bathroom, affording a pleasant aspect into the property's garden.
As well as the interesting and versatile internal accommodation the property benefits from a stunning position tucked away off Lombard Street with a generous level of parking and integral garage which affords additional storage and workshop space. A loft void in the eaves could offer scope to expand the accommodation. Planning permission has been granted for two large windows compliant with fire safety requirements. The windows have not yet been installed but are included in the sale along with a considerable quantity of building materials.
Both the formal gardens and paddock extend to approximately 1.2 acres providing a fantastic outdoor space. Approximately 0.4 acres of part formal and part wild life gardens lead out into a 0.8 acre paddock to the westerly side which could accommodate a small pony potentially making it ideal for an equestrian user. Alternatively, the attractive tree lined space could provide a multi purpose extension to the garden.
Viewing comes highly recommended to appreciate both the location and accommodation on offer.
