The Limes is believed to have been the coach house for Creedy House, formerly the country estate of the Ferguson Davie family, which was divided into several exclusive residences in the 1970s. The property is Grade II listed and retains many of the features of the original building, sensitively converted and updated over the years by successive owners to create a spacious and flexible family home. The ground floor accommodation is naturally well lit with open views across former parkland. The entrance door opens into a lobby with slate flooring that was reclaimed from the former estate kitchen. At the heart of the ground floor is a triple aspect open plan living space, with a wood burning stove and slate floor, leading to a sisal carpeted dining area. The kitchen is well-equipped with handmade reclaimed teak fitted units and a gas range cooker. A snug/play room, boot/utility room with butler sink and separate WC complete the ground floor. Upstairs are four bedrooms and three bathrooms. The spacious main bedroom has an ensuite bathroom. Bedroom three is a dual aspect double room with stunning south facing views serviced by a private bathroom whilst the two further double bedrooms are serviced by a a family bathroom which benefits from a walk in shower. A further WC can be found on a half landing on the rear staircase. A large attic is accessed via bedroom three, is fully boarded and runs the length of the house, providing ample storage space. The property also has extensive brick walled cellars, with high vaulted ceilings, which run the length of the house. These are accessed from the courtyard, with three separate rooms including the original cider and wine cellar for Creedy House.
The Limes is approached along a shared private drive leading to a cobbled courtyard adjacent to the house, to a parking area and garages. The Limes has a double garage with an additional single garage on the side and private parking for two cars. The private parking for visitors is adjacent to the house. The south facing private gardens are found to the front of the property via a walled and cobbledcourtyard with a vine canopy and seating area leading to decked steps to the front entrance. An arched opening leads through to a large area of level lawn surrounded by stone balustrades and established lime trees and a gravelled seating area, with beautiful views over the surrounding countryside and pretty flowering trees and shrubs including wisteria, magnolia, roses, myrtles and a fig tree. There are also herbaceous beds providing screening and summer colour. The kitchen garden with a useful garden shed can be found in the sheltered south facing area behind the garages. The Limes also benefits from a stock proof paddock of approximately 3 acres, found at the far end of the estate driveway. The paddock has a five bar access gate and is currently used by a local farmer for sheep grazing. Within the paddock is a stable block and fenced area that currently accommodates a number of bee hives. To the north of the property are approximately 12 acres of shared grounds and woodland known as “The Rookery”. This includes a small orchard, a glade and numerous paths meandering through spring bulbs, rhododendrons plus well established areas of native and exotic trees and shrubs creating a year round haven for wildlife and residents.
