5 bed detached house for sale

High Street, Worton SN10

‘Ivy House’ is a superb detached character family home, believed to date back some 400 years, but extensively modernised by the current owners in the 11 years they have lived there. Alongside a full renovation of the house, the owners have also completely transformed the grounds into the outstanding gardens that you see now.

Internally, a light and airy vaulted hallway has flagstone flooring and leads off to a dual aspect sitting room with a log burner, a dining room with an impressive Inglenook fireplace and a flexible snug/family room with a log burner and underfloor heating. A dual aspect modern kitchen/breakfast room, a separate utility room and downstairs cloakroom complete the ground floor. On the first floor (accessed via 2 staircases), are 4 lovely double bedrooms and a family bathroom. The main bedroom features a walk in dressing room plus a refitted en suite bathroom, whilst the guest bedroom also has a contemporary en suite shower room with underfloor heating.

Outside, there is a charming, detached annexe with an open plan bedroom/reception room, shower room and modern kitchen- a perfect place for a dependant relative or equally a great income opportunity as a holiday Let or Air BnB. Adjacent to the annexe is a long barn that also has scope to convert to accommodation (subject to planning). This property really is a true gardener’s delight with its walled English cottage garden with foxgloves lupins, roses and a copper beech tree, as well as a patio sun terrace featuring two ponds that is reminiscent of a Japanese water garden. In addition, there is a productive orchard with pear, apple, damson and greengage trees, a large soft fruit cage and vegetable garden accompanied by a 37ft x 12ft Victorian style greenhouse. Beyond the garden lies a separate paddock that would be ideal for a pony or grazing sheep/goats. Wooden double gates open on to a driveway that provides ample parking. Additional 0.71 acre paddock to rear available by separate negotiation.
