Description

Lilbourne House, together with its gardens and grounds, extends to almost 3 acres in a particularly secluded and private position on the edge of a highly sought after conservation village. Built by Bewley Homes in 1999 as part of an exclusive development of just three houses, the property was constructed in the traditional Georgian style but with the benefit of modern building standards.

The house was designed with generous proportions and built to an exceptional specification, including high ceilings and solid floors throughout, traditional cavity wall construction, plaster cornices, brass window and door fittings, double glazed timber sash windows and solid oak doors and staircase, plus antique limestone flooring in the entrance hall and dining room.

The spacious dual aspect drawing room features oak parquet flooring and an expansive south facing bay window. French doors give access to the south terrace, with its balustrading and views over the topiary and parterre garden. A recently installed Clearview woodburning stove sits on a slate hearth within a period style Chesney limestone fireplace. There are numerous fitted wall lights controlled by a pair of dimmer switches, as well as a separate dimmable lighting circuit for table and floor lamps.

A second large reception room, currently used as a family room/playroom, faces south and west. Four deep sash windows make this a bright room, with French doors leading to the west terrace. An elegant Chesney white marble fireplace completes the picture.

The centrally located study/office also features French doors to the west terrace and provides a great space for working from home with views across the garden to the herbaceous border.

The dual aspect dining room is again very bright and spacious with four deep sash windows overlooking the front and side gardens. This room features a third Chesney fireplace and is perfect for entertaining.

The kitchen/breakfast room offers a comfortable and convenient living space, with room for dining and a seating area. Oak-faced bifold doors face south, whilst three west-facing windows admit the afternoon and evening sunshine. High quality oak kitchen cupboards are hand painted in Oxford Stone. The extensive granite and solid oak worktops provide ample work space. The Lacanche range cooker has both LPG and electric hobs, as well as twin electric ovens. A cloakroom and utility room with extensive fitted shelving complete the ground floor accommodation.
