GARDENS, STUDIO AND GARAGE
The beautiful and private gardens are a standout feature. Part bordered by beech hedging, the gardens have been lovingly maintained and cultivated over the years. To the rear, a gravelled driveway provides parking for several vehicles. There is a decked pond (with potential to be converted into a natural swimming area, subject to the necessary consents), along with an array of mature trees, including several apple varieties, perfect for homemade juices. The raised beds are ready for fruit and vegetable growing, and a stunning rose parterre offers colourful borders brimming with peonies and flowering shrubs.
In addition, the property benefits from a large double garage, a workshop, a conservatory and a bespoke greenhouse, complete with power and lighting, offering excellent versatility for creative or practical use. The art studio/workshop/office space, conveniently located near a cloakroom, also presents the potential for conversion into a self-contained annexe, subject to the necessary planning permissions.
Without a doubt, The Old Court House is a rare and remarkable property offering a unique blend of period charm, modern comfort, and adaptability, all set within a thriving village community. A truly special home for discerning buyers seeking character, space, and lifestyle opportunity.
