Mature, seasonally-planted gardens
The changing seasons bring new delights in this impressive family home; right the through the spring and summer, many vibrant flowers are in bloom in the two gardens - the rear of which offers a real sun trap with young productive pear and apple set against the west facing wall. In the cooler months, one of the two the wood-burning stoves are a delight; the largest separates the dining room and sitting room, while the smaller is tucked away in the snug/study.
The property at a glance
This home is perfect for families who enjoy hosting large gatherings; the kitchen, which features a beautiful gas-fired AGA style cooker, offers a wonderfully welcoming first impression, and from here, visitors can flow between three of the reception rooms - the dining room, garden room and sitting room - while the snug/study offers a quieter corner to escape. In addition, there is a patio area under the beautiful beech tree dubbed 'cigar corner' tucked away in a corner of the broad rear garden, offering a peaceful haven. In addition, to the rear is a large barbeque area lined by a low mature box hedge - external power for a fridge and other utensils as well up-lighting through the trained roses.
Upstairs, there are two 'wings' to the home; the east wing houses three bedrooms - one of which includes the substantial master bedroom which enjoys a phenomenal view of St Cadoc's Church. The other two bedrooms include en-suite shower rooms and there is also a family bathroom on this side. Meanwhile, the west wing features two further bedrooms, plus a bathroom; presently this section of the home is typically used to accommodate visitors.
Throughout the property, there are numerous little glory holes including a bedecked wine cellar and gun cabinet, offering plenty of storage spaces, while the utility and boot room – located at the end of the entrance hall – provides ample room for everything else!
The annexe coach house is named 'The Trap House' - around three years ago, a disused garage was renovated into this modern, highly specified self-contained two-bedroom home which offers its own lounge, kitchen, downstairs bathroom and private courtyard. This is currently leased on a short term rent for £700 pcm.
