Ash House is a most attractive and thoughtfully arranged house, offering light-filled accommodation with a wonderful sense of flow and connection to the gardens and surrounding countryside. The house is entered via a large and elegant reception hall which immediately conveys the scale and character of the house and leads into the drawing room, a particularly impressive, triple-aspect room with a Jetmaster fireplace, bay window seat and French doors opening onto the terrace. The bespoke kitchen features an Aga, central island and informal dining area creating a wonderful family space that will quickly become the heart of the home. Along the corridor, the delightful garden room offers a generous area in which to entertain, enjoy the views and from which to spill out onto the terrace on a summers evening.

The accommodation is flexible and well balanced, with well-proportioned ground floor bedrooms, one of which is currently used as a study, and a principal suite on the first floor enjoying lovely outlooks and ensuite facilities. In addition, there is further upstairs accommodation comprising a large double bedroom and equally spacious area suitable as a playroom or teenage hangout along with a bathroom, which would prove popular with older offspring looking for their own space.

GARDENS AND OUTBUILDINGS
The wonderful gardens, laid out by a former owner and garden designer, are of particular note, featuring a croquet lawn, pond with Japanese bridge, a summer house, terraces, a vegetable garden and a well-curated collection of perennials, shrubs and trees to provide all year-round interest and colour.

Of special interest is the tree garden, a collection of specimen and fruit trees planted around 1988, including walnut, liquid amber, a tulip tree and a beautiful multi-stemmed evergreen beech. A focal point at the southern end, where a group of West Himalayan birches gather in a semi-circle round a bench, provides a tranquil place to repose and enjoy the shivering light filtering through the white bark canopy. This relaxed arboretum could offer a home to hens or perhaps some light grazing for a pony.
