Situated in delightful grounds of approx. 1.5 acres, The Pines has been a cherished family home for nearly 40 years. Over the years the house has been adapted for multi generational living and has very flexible and generous accommodation arranged over three floors with all the principal rooms taking in the wonderful far reaching rural views.
From the elegant raised porch and stepping through the front door, the entrance hall leads to a double aspect sitting room with views over the grounds and fields beyond. Also on this floor is the second reception room. Stairs from the hall lead up to the landing and the principal bedroom suite, there are two further double bedrooms and the family bathroom. On the second floor, there are two more bedrooms and a shower room.
The lower ground floor has a central hallway stepping out to the garden and leading to the kitchen, dining room, a large utility room / ante kitchen, and a large study. Also from the hallway steps lead down to a fabulous cellar/games room, wine store and a large walk in store room.
The gardens and grounds are accessed from the lane onto a gated driveway. Beyond the house there is a large courtyard with range of well maintained outbuildings including garaging, work shop and store rooms. Ideal for those looking to store or fettle motor vehicles.
The landscaped gardens have been a particular joy for our clients, they have been curated to give ornamental areas with a large Koi pond and sitting areas. There is a fabulous kitchen garden, and an impressive greenhouse with all the facilities one could ask for. Beyond the garden is the paddock and beyond that open fields which provide the perfect backdrop to this fine country house.
