Description
Old Taywell is an attached family home with origins believed to date, in part, back to the 16th century, when it was thought to have been the wing of a Hall House. Now coming to the market for the first time in over 30 years, this unlisted property sits back, well screened from the road by mature hedging, with attractive part walled gardens and views to the North Downs.
This interesting, well proportioned period home which has been added to over the centuries, benefits from high ceilings and comprises three good sized reception rooms including the beautiful oak panelled sitting room with inglenook fireplace and wood stove, a reception hall, study, farmhouse-style kitchen with various integral appliances, boot room and WC.
There are a total of four bedrooms on the first floor, three with en suite shower rooms and one with an en suite bathroom. Stairs lead up to a substantial attic room with window to one end.
Old Taywell is approached via a gravel drive which bypasses the single garage and log store and leads around to a parking area to the rear of the house. The front gardens are part walled whilst the rear gardens are interspersed with magnolia, mountain ash, apple, plum and pear trees.
