Double Garage, Loft Over (potential home office/studio). Secure Courtyard with Garden Shed and Outbuilding. Summer House. South Facing Verandah. Beautifully Stocked and Landscaped West Facing Walled Garden, in all about 0.372 of an acre

The property was originally built in 1860 but subsequently extended very much in keeping. The house can only be described as an absolute gem and has been completely refurbished by the present owners within the last five years. The house has a classical symmetrical front with flint elevations and inset UPVC double glazed sash and casement windows under a slate roof with a verandah running down part of the southern elevation. The interior is absolutely exquisite, the rooms are beautifully proportioned, there is a superb kitchen fitted with Clive Christian units which opens into a very light conservatory/dining/family room which overlooks the secure courtyard. The utility room has matching units. The first floor has been arranged to provide a principal suite with the fourth bedroom now used as a dressing room but this could simply be reinstated back to a bedroom, if so desired. Subject to planning, there is also the potential to extend the house again. The loft over the double garage would make an excellent studio/home office. Surrounding Holberry Cottage are charming walled gardens which are exceptionally private, particularly throughout the summer months.
