5 Bed Detached House For Sale

Laundry House is a characterful period property with splendid original features including exposed timber beams, alongside elegant modern décor and fittings.

The main reception room is the well proportioned drawing room, which has a dual aspect and adjoins a bright and spacious formal dining room, which features extensively fitted book shelving. There is a comfortable family room, which boasts a vaulted ceiling and French doors that open out to the garden. The current home office provides further reception space and features a modern wood burning stove, although this was once the main reception hall with the door and porch to the front. The kitchen/breakfast room is well-proportioned and features farmhouse-style units, integrated appliances and an oil fired Aga. There is also ample space for a good sized breakfast table. Upstairs, there are five well-presented double bedrooms including the generous principal bedroom, which has a wonderful vaulted ceiling with painted timber beams, built-in wardrobes and an en suite shower room. The first floor also has a family bathroom with a separate shower unit.

Laundry House is approached over a gravel driveway, which provides parking for at least 3 cars. A hand gate leads to the delightful front gardens, which incorporate a gravel sun terrace for al fresco dining, a level lawn flanked by well stocked flower borders and established shrubs.

The garden then rises to a further level lawned area, passing a meadow area flanked by mature hedgerows and trees, and it is from here that one can enjoy some of the finest far reaching views across the countryside. There is a lovely heated swimming pool, a timber framed summer house and garden store, which houses the pump and filtration system for the pool.
