Description:

Built in approximately 1840 this handsome Grade II listed country home with elegant proportions has been lovingly and sympathetically cared for by the current owners since they acquired the house in 1979. The six panel front door with original radial fanlight window above is set within the character entrance with a semicircular porch of cornice set on two columns and pilasters against the wall. The present owners have preserved the architectural integrity of the house and this feature is of particular note. High ceilings throughout add to the feeling of space above, large feature fireplaces to the principal reception rooms, deep skirting boards, picture rails, floorboards and chequerboard quarry tiled flooring all add to the character of this magnificent home. The grand reception hall is inspiring with Linenfold wood panelling adding warmth and depth to the space. Doors radiate to the formal dining room and drawing room. Double doors with a fanlight window above lead through to an L-shaped rear hall which provides access to the other reception rooms and a useful guest cloakroom/WC. There is also a rear staircase which would have originally been the servants' staircase. The large and elegant drawing room enjoys the benefit of a dual aspect with glorious views to the front and rear aspects. The formal dining room with two windows overlooking the front gardens and drive is flooded with natural light. The feature stone fireplace is a wonderful focal point and this space is perfect for dinner parties and large family gatherings. The rear hall provides access to the family room which is such a cosy, warm and inviting space. The lovely farmhouse-style kitchen enjoys glorious kitchen garden views and has character dark wooden beams to the ceiling and quarry-tiled floor. The grand, turning wooden staircase rises to the generous first floor landing area. From here four of the six double bedrooms are accessed along with the large family bathroom...
