Description:

Sycamore House is a beautifully converted, 18th century period property offering an abundance of character and flexible living accommodation across two floors. Unlisted, this home also benefits from a self-contained one-bedroom annex and a separate at home office, all set within approximately three acres of landscaped gardens and paddocks.

Passing a practical, external boot room, upon entering the property, you are welcomed into a delightful, country-style breakfast-kitchen, complete with beams dating 1776. An exposed brick fireplace houses both a traditional Rayburn cooker and the original bread oven, creating an attractive focal point. With ample space for a breakfast table, the kitchen provides a charming setting for family meals.

Beyond the kitchen lies a utility room with plumbing for a washing machine and dryer and access to the rear garden. Moving by the convenient ground floor WC, further along the hall is a beautifully appointed room, currently used as a study. South-west facing, and dual aspect, this peaceful space is flooded with natural light. Featuring wooden floors, there is also a working, open fireplace, flanked by built-in shelving.

Adjacent to the kitchen, and also part of the updated farmhouse, is the elegant dining room. French doors open onto the front garden whilst an ornate, wooden, arched doorway opens into the sitting room, once the barn to the farmyard. Triple aspect, with deep set windowsills and exposed beams, the room also boasts a stone fireplace complete with a log burner.

A secondary staircase rises to a spacious double bedroom with feature beams, built-in storage and ensuite shower room, offering a versatile space ideal for guests.

Ascending the main staircase, to the first-floor landing, the principal bedroom enjoys the benefit of built-in wardrobes and ensuite shower room. Two further double bedrooms are served by a well-appointed family bathroom.

Complementing the house, the former stables have been thoughtfully converted to create a self-contained one-bedroom annexe, providing excellent accommodation for extended family or guests. The games room has double doors leading onto the garden, perfect for indoor-outdoor entertaining. From the games room, a small staircase leads to the kitchen and shower room, with access through to a spacious double bedroom. A separate office, once the feed room, completes the converted stable block.

Outside:

A gated driveway leads into a gravel courtyard with ample off-road parking. Beyond the courtyard lies landscaped gardens with mature flower beds displaying an array of seasonal planting.

To the east of the converted stable block, a five-bar gate provides access to a generous stretch of lawn. Passing a grove of silver birch trees, the lawn rises to the northern boundary where a pedestrian gate leads to the smaller of the two paddocks. Adjacent to a large storage shed is an additional five-bar gate into the paddock land, of which the furthest, and largest, paddock has a pond.

Accessed via a pedestrian gate from Green Lane, the south-west, walled front garden enjoys sunshine throughout the majority of the day. There is a beautiful magnolia tree alongside borders comprising of a quintessentially English country garden planting scheme.

In total Sycamore House sits in approximately three acres.
