A truly sumptuous opportunity now exists to acquire an exquisite Grade II listed Tudor home, ideally situated in an idyllic location yet close to amenities and set within a secluded and beautifully manicured garden of approximately 1 acre. This delightful home that extends to some 4000 sq. ft. is rich in character and contains many luxurious features for modern day living. The property was built in the late 16th century and extended over the centuries including Georgian and Arts & Crafts additions. This history affords the homeowner a rare selection of styles from the atmospheric Tudor dining room, perfect for those intimate dinner parties to the stunning garden room, added in 2005 which boasts a magnificent, vaulted ceiling with exposed beams, wide plank wood flooring with underfloor heating, a log burner and gorgeous views overlooking the rear gardens. The current owners have extensively renovated the house including a new boiler, two Megaflo hot water tanks and refitted all the bathrooms to a very high specification. The house features several working fireplaces including two large Inglenook fireplaces, one of which incorporates a bread oven that was likely built during the Georgian additions. The ground floor has a mixture of flooring including parquet in the study, rustic terracotta tiles in the kitchen and adjoining areas and sisal carpeting in the dining room. Sisal is also used across the entire first floor except for the bathrooms which are tiled with underfloor heating, bar the master en-suite which has wood flooring. To the outside the property boasts an extensive driveway to the front that is laid with York stone, accessed via two entrance gates, and leading to the garage (and gym) building. The rear gardens are completely secluded and have been meticulously maintained and will be ideal for garden parties and entertaining alfresco. For those requiring yet more accommodation planning permission and listed building consent exists for a further two storey extension to the house plus the conversion of the large garage block. To conclude, this outstanding residence is a place where you would want to spend time, to relax, recharge and ultimately be with family and friends €“ somewhere you€™d be proud to call home!
