Asking Price £3,250,000
The house is believed to have been reconstructed in late Victorian times but dates back to the turn of the 18th century when the - Candy's' family are believed to have first occupied.
Set in approximately 3.5 acres, the property is beautifully presented throughout and includes 5 bedrooms, 3 reception rooms, a number of outbuildings/garages and a menage.
Approached via a gravel pathway and set behind wrought iron gates, the property is accessed via an attractive covered porch and stable front door. The ground floor accommodation flows very nicely with most rooms having interlinking doors to a further room.
The entrance hall has attractive oak flooring which gives access via a returning staircase to the first floor landing and doors to the living room, inner hallway, and a separate sitting room which is currently used as an office.
The largest of these ground floor rooms is the kitchen/day room which incorporates three well-defined areas, one being the fitted kitchen and the others being a dining area which flows into an exceptional oak framed orangery. This orangery has a feature log burner and a triple aspect looking out over the gardens and menage.
The kitchen has an extensive range of bespoke hand-made wood finish cupboards and drawers with an adjoining solid granite work surface. The kitchen has integrated appliances including fridge/freezer, dishwasher and an Esee multi-oven cooker. Central to the kitchen is an island unit with matching storage, granite work surface and a butler style sink. The whole room, including the dining area, has a modern terracotta tiled floor.
The living room and sitting room both have triple aspect bay windows to the front elevation and cushioned boxed window seats. The sitting room has a log burner whilst the living room has a feature open fire place.
The rear lobby is a good-sized area with an interlinking door to the utility area. This rear lobby is useful storage space and has stable door access to the rear garden area. This side of the house is home to a further patio area with a rose garden which used to be a vegetable plot.
There are five bedrooms on the first floor. The master bedroom suite is triple aspect having windows to the rear and both side elevations. The room is tastefully decorated, has a built in wardrobe and an en-suite shower room. The additional bedrooms all have individual features and outlooks, the smallest of which is currently used as a study/office. Typical of this style of dwelling, the first floor has a number of angled ceilings that are not restrictive but do add character. The main bathroom incorporates a four-piece luxury suite including shower cubicle and bath.
The gardens surrounding the house incorporate a large lawned area to the front with well-stocked surrounding flower, tree and shrub beds. The main rear garden area is the largest lawn with further mature trees and surrounding shrub beds. Access to the manege is gained via this rear garden area and lockable gates. The menage was previously a tennis court and is floodlit. The rear boundary is defined by modern fencing with a stream beyond. Either side of the rear section of the house are elevated patios, one of which is accessed via the principal reception areas and provides a perfect outdoor dining space, the other forms an attractive viewing point for the Koi pond with trellis and pergola structure over.
This superb summer house-style structure is more affectionately known to the owners as - Little Candy's - . The pavilion has a decked veranda and glazed double door access providing a good size open plan ground floor room with wooden flooring and outlook toward the house with the training school paddock in the foreground. Stepladders give access up to a small child's sleeping area.
The main paddocks have various lockable gated access and entry points. The top paddock has a twin stable block with further stable facilities to the main paddock areas including shelter structures and a holding pen.
Approaching the property, the ‘coach house’ building incorporates a double garage along with 6 store rooms, all of which with electricity and subject to the necessary consents would make an ideal home office.
