Property details

Bedrooms: 5

Set in an acre of enchanting south facing gardens - perfect throughout the seasons, a tranquil haven to retreat to. A very special family home that has been loved and cherished by 3 generations. 5 bedrooms, 3 large reception rooms all with charming views, kitchen breakfast room, 3 bathrooms, utility room, 2 cloakrooms, workshop and double garage..

This is the kind of house where fabulous childhood memories are made. One of the best things about this property is the great sense of space and a layout that really works. The kitchen is perfect for informal suppers, there is plenty of room to be the host and cook while guests relax and chat to you seated comfortably in the breakfast area. Next to the kitchen there is a family room that has French doors that lead onto a terrace that must have been created with relaxing, entertaining and roller skating in mind. The dining room has Christmas written all over it – I can almost smell the turkey cooking and see the crackers waiting to be pulled by excited children. The drawing room is just as you would want it to be – elegant, relaxed and incredibly light. So often a house delights downstairs; then disappoints on reaching the first floor – not so here. The master bedroom has a door leading onto a balcony – I’m thinking Gin & Tonic and relaxing while surveying the tranquility of the garden. So once you have been wowed by the balcony take time to enjoy the bedrooms; they are all a great size and 2 of them have ensuites. There are all the usual suspects; utility, store cupboard, workshop and double garage. I know that you are itching to get into the gardens which are simply breathtaking. A true passion for this garden created over the last 20 years is evident throughout, the planting is immaculate and the colours intense. The terrace is perfect for summer entertaining; there is a large grassed garden which has plenty of room for a trampoline and a football pitch. At the end of the garden is a secret garden the perfect place to relax and contemplate life. The woodland walks have to be my favourite, to be able to walk around your garden, cool in the summer under the shade of beautiful trees and listening to the russel of falling leaves in the autumn. Want to be self sufficient there is an established kitchen garden.
