The Dwelling Occupying a delightful position enveloped by beautifully established gardens, this exceptional period residence is an elegant and quintessential English country home of considerable charm and character.
Constructed of mellow natural stone beneath a traditional tiled roof, the house displays a wealth of architectural detail, including brick dressings, climbing ivy-clad elevations and handsome chimney stacks, all contributing to its timeless and picturesque appearance.
Believed to date from the nineteenth century, the property has evolved gracefully over the years and today offers refined and atmospheric accommodation arranged over two floors.

Large sash-style windows draw excellent natural light into the principal rooms whilst affording attractive views over the surrounding gardens.

The principal reception spaces are rich in character, with features such as fireplaces, exposed timbers and traditional joinery combining to create rooms of warmth, charm and considerable atmosphere.
The kitchen, designed to cater for modern living with ease offers an open-plan kitchen/dining arrangement, complemented by bespoke cabinetry, provides both functionality and a sociable setting.
A ground floor bathroom further enhances the practicality of the layout.
On the first floor, the accommodation comprises three charming bedrooms, each enjoying pleasant views over the gardens and surrounding greenery.
These rooms are served by a well-appointed shower room, completing the first-floor accommodation.
Garden The gardens are a defining feature of the property, having been lovingly cultivated and now beautifully mature.
They provide a richly planted setting of exceptional privacy and seasonal interest, with expanses of lawn interspersed with established shrubs, climbing roses, herbaceous borders and specimen trees, creating an idyllic backdrop that is entirely in keeping with the character of the house.
A terrace adjoining the property offers an ideal setting for outdoor dining and entertaining during the warmer months, seamlessly extending the living space outdoors.
Positioned to the rear of the garden is a modern studio, a valuable and highly versatile addition to the property.
Benefiting from light and power, it offers excellent flexibility for a variety of uses, complemented by an adjoining patio area.
To the front of the property, the house is approached through mature planting and enclosed greenery, creating a distinctly private and tranquil arrival.
Positioned at the front of the garden, a driveway provides ample off-road parking for several vehicles, whilst remaining well screened by established planting.
The beautifully composed façade, softened by climbing plants and framed by deep herbaceous borders, immediately conveys the enduring elegance of a traditional English country house.
