About
Combe House is an impressive and delightful home of considerable scale, offering more than 2,700 sq ft of versatile accommodation arranged over two floors and enjoying farreaching rural views.
The property displays attractive brick elevations and has been thoughtfully updated to provide a stylish interior that celebrates its heritage while offering modern comfort.
The ground floor features plank hardwood flooring throughout much of the accommodation.
A generous sitting room with an original fireplace leads through to the formal dining room, creating an ideal space for entertaining.
The open-plan kitchen and dining room forms the heart of the home, featuring bespokestyle cabinetry and an Aga-style range cooker set within an inglenook fireplace.
This space flows into a magnificent vaulted garden room, where flagstone flooring, exposed timber framing and floor-to-ceiling glazing create a strong connection with the gardens and surrounding countryside.
Further practical space includes a laundry room, pantry and dedicated wine cellar. On the first floor, the accommodation continues to impress.
The principal bedroom enjoys dual-aspect views and an en suite shower room, while three further well-proportioned bedrooms are served by a spacious family bathroom.
The property is approached via a generous brick-paved driveway providing ample parking.
A substantial garage building incorporates a large first-floor room, currently used as a gym and studio space, while a detached self-contained annexe provides ideal accommodation for guests, dependent relatives or home working.
The grounds are a particular feature, comprising a series of distinct garden areas including a sun terrace with a built-in pool bar, level lawns and a variety of useful outbuildings and secluded swimming pool.
