About this property
The Coach House is discreetly located within the heart of the village and yet offers all the benefits of a period country house with gardens on three sides and open countryside sitting behind. The approach via electric wrought iron gates reveals an attractive facade and large courtyard, bordered by the garage block, workshop, stable and guest two bedroomed self contained cottage. The privacy is striking and has provided the current owners with the opportunity to create delightful gardens that can be enjoyed from the principal rooms of the house.
The house dates from the late 1900’s and has received a number of additions since then, most recently a garden room to the rear which cleverly connects the beautifully appointed kitchen/living room to the family room and provides the perfect venue from which to enjoy the garden. Extending to 6447 SQ FT / 598.93 SQ M the property provides generous accommodation on a grand scale and a room for every occasion, all recently refurbished and redesigned by an experienced interior designer. From the moment you enter the building there is a feeling of open space and light, the rooms flowing in a very natural and practical way, each with a clear and practical use. Perfectly suited to growing and mature families expecting regular guests. With five double bedrooms, three en-suite, including a palatial principle suite complete with a large sun terrace with arresting views over the gardens and countryside beyond.
Supporting the main house is a equally well appointed guest cottage or rentable unit, providing a spacious living room, separate kitchen and two double bedrooms, in all 1526 SQ FT / 141.79 SQ M. Completing the accommodation is a recently constructed summerhouse, finished in cedar cladding and equipped with a plush bar area and w/c – the perfect venue for entertaining and garden parties.
The gardens themselves have been designed to draw the eye from every angle, a meandering graveled path dissecting large colorful layered beds and clipped shrubs. Several lawned areas provide the perfect place for children to play and a breeze house an inviting spot for alfresco dining. The entire plot extends to around 1.5 acres and collectively represents a fabulous versatile home with space in abundance, quality around every corner and wonderful grounds to draw the eye from the majority of windows.
