Property description
Originally built in the 17th century, it was enlarged in the late 19th century by the architect owner gh Kitchin who also laid out the gardens in the Arts and Crafts style. Both house and gardens are Grade ll* listed and they retain much charm and character. The double reception room with wood panelling and impressive fireplaces looks out over the main gardens, as does the garden room. The dining room leads to the ample kitchen which includes a gas fired Aga and both have oak flooring. There is a study, and a cloakroom by the main entrance hall. On the first floor are four bedrooms (one with an en suite shower room), and a family bathroom. Stairs lead up to a large boarded attic.
The gardens are marked by a combination of formality and informality. Clipped yew hedges and topiary contrast with abundant naturalistic planting. Vistas lead through rectangular areas with straight paths and borders, a pond, and then a croquet lawn, to fields and woods beyond. Less formal areas have winding pathways and there are also wildflower meadows and fruit trees. The rendered brick summer house has fine views from all sides. Next to the house is a recently rebuilt timber framed barn for use as a garage and workshop. There is ample parking on the gravel drive.
