One of the rooms has a large airing cupboard and an ensuite bathroom with enamel roll top bath with shower over. The second bedroom has another impressive vaulted ceiling and is accessible by either stairway.
Outside, the property is entered via wooden automatic security gates leading to a large shingled driveway. To the front of the house there is an attractive raised brick terrace with a beautiful magnolia tree to one side and a wall of Hydrangeas to the other. The well stocked pond is overlooked by the wrap-around decking area outside the kitchen. Within the grounds there is a wide variety of mature trees including willows and oaks. An impressive 600 year old oak sits imposingly in the meadow adjacent to the paddock. The main gardens are lawned with an abundance of shaped box hedging and climbing roses. The borders are superbly stocked providing a wealth of colour throughout the year.
The outbuildings include a thatched barn which has been stylishly converted into a one bedroom annexe with a storage barn retained at the far end, containing the equipment for the private water supply via a borehole .
The annexe provides an entrance hallway with door to shower room and further door leading to the impressive vaulted kitchen/living/dining room which is fitted with a range of units with wooden work tops and a breakfast bar. Appliances include a washer dryer, electric oven and hob with extractor fan over. French doors lead to a garden terrace. The spacious bedroom has exposed timbers and a twin aspect. The annexe is heated via electric heating.
Further outbuildings consist of an enclosed three bay garage adjacent to a home pub aptly named Ye Old Borehole which is fully equipped with built-in-bar with fridge and sink unit with adjacent WC. A sliding door connects the two so is ideal for entertaining. It also has underfloor heating via Calor gas. To the side of the garaging there are two further stores/ workshops and open fronted three bay parking to the other side.
A recently resurfaced tennis court is tucked away in a sheltered position. A superb Air Source heated outdoor swimming pool and pool house with WC, are located to the rear of the house. There is small orchard, an enclosed vegetable garden, a paddock area and a further large meadow with field shelter. The gardens and patios are equipped with an automated irrigation system. The house also benefits from a 3-Phase electricity supply which, once installed, would allow for the fast charging of electric vehicles.
