A handsome and well-appointed detached family house forming part of a tranquil no-through private estate with lovely rural views and gardens and grounds of about 2 acres.
The house takes full advantage of the setting with each of the principal rooms having a fine aspect over the surrounding grounds of about two acres. Yeomans Corner is light and bright with many of the well-proportioned rooms having multiple aspects with high ceilings, bespoke cornicing and large double glazed windows with hardwood sills. Three spacious reception rooms lead from the entrance hall and provide excellent entertaining and family space. The sitting room is a wonderful twin aspect room with a central fireplace and French doors opening into the conservatory. The beautifully proportioned L-shaped conservatory is ideal for everyday family living with multiple sets of doors opening out to the terrace and garden. The dining room has a fine view over the rear garden and double doors to the study/snug and reception hall. The well-appointed accommodation also includes a triple aspect family room. The kitchen/breakfast room is set at the heart of the house and is fitted with a range of bespoke cabinets together with granite work surfaces, Belfast sink and a gas-fired Aga. Of note, there is also a utility/boot room and cloakroom to the ground floor. There are four bedrooms (including a guest room with an en-suite), a family bathroom and a stunning triple aspect principal bedroom suite extending to over 20’/6.3 with fitted wardrobes. Of note, each of the bath/shower rooms have been fitted with traditional white sanitary ware with a bath and/or large showers. Careful thought has been given to ease of living with extensive storage and also accommodating family and guests with the installation of a ‘Stilz passenger lift’ between the ground and first floors. This is a very welcoming and flexible family home.
Outside
Gardens and Grounds
Accessed via a pair of gates, the drive extends along the side of the house to a generous parking area in front of the detached double garage (with a loft room above) and continues to the front of the house.
The wonderful landscaped gardens and grounds extend in all to about two acres and are a very special feature of the property. The garden takes full advantage of the beautiful setting with broad expanses of lawn and a variety of established flower beds, bringing colour and interest to each season. The spring floods the garden with snowdrops, crocus, daffodils and bluebells with camellias, rhododendrons and azalea emerging as the summer evolves. Attractive topiary and specimen trees turn Autumn into an array of colour. Most importantly, there are a series of paved terraces to the rear, side and front to rest and relax upon to enjoy the fine views of the garden and the countryside beyond. The perimeter is marked by fencing, laurel and beech hedging. There is a mower shed, greenhouse and timber shed set within the grounds.
Estate Management – A charge of £300 per annum is made to Powntley Copse Residents Association.
