Description

This lovely old Georgian house, with its classical façade, enjoys glorious southerly outlooks over beautifully timbered gardens and surrounding fields. It has provided a perfect family home for many years and has an excellent combination of reception space with an attractive drawing room with double doors leading through to a sitting room, a separate dining room and a large, family kitchen with Aga and an adjoining breakfast room that could also be used as an office. Good sized bedrooms, including three principal bedrooms, enjoying glorious outlooks and two further doubles. In addition to the main house a detached three bedroom cottage, with its own garden lies adjacent and provides an ideal opportunity for those wishing to accommodate elderly relatives or wanting a letting income.

The drive into the property passes between a kitchen garden to the east and lovely lawned gardens that stretch out and extend across the front of the property, being shaded by a number of magnificent trees. A lovely former lawn tennis court provides an excellent play area or perfect setting for a marquee. There are useful outbuildings to the rear of the house, including an Original Stable and a useful garden/log store.

Flood Risk

Environment Agency open data, checked around the advertised map pin for the listed acreage. Long-term risk counts flood defences; the planning map's flood zones do not. The map pin for this listing marks the postcode area rather than the exact location, so these readings describe the surrounding area. Provided by LandSale, not the listing agent, and not part of the agent's particulars. Risk varies across a holding, so verify before committing.

Rivers and the sea

Very low risk

Planning map: Flood Zone 1.
