Believed to have originally been built in the 1950s but significantly re-imagined by a previous owner who was an architect, and much improved by the present owners, The Garden House is an inspired, detached house offering light and spacious, flexible accommodation, with a rustic Oak clad exterior.
The house is tucked-away in a very private, garden setting at the end of a long, private driveway, which offers parking for several cars (in tandem).
The gardens wrap around the house and expand out behind the house, where there is a large lawn with raised vegetable beds, a greenhouse, a gravel seating area and native hedge boundaries. There are further seating areas to the side and front of the house including a broad, South-facing paved patio off the sitting room. There is also a garden shed to the side of the house. The property backs onto a small orchard.
Points of particular note include:
- The welcoming, spacious, vaulted entrance hall with useful storage cupboards built in including a walk-in store with plumbing for laundry appliances.
- Sanded and polished strip wood flooring throughout much of the ground floor.
- Flexible accommodation depending on requirement including up to five bedrooms, served by three bath/shower rooms, still leaving you the main reception rooms and study.
- Open plan kitchen/living/dining space, ideal for entertaining and/or family living, with multi-fuel stove and two sets of bi-fold doors to the rear garden terrace.
