The House. Set at the heart of the village of Whitchurch and commanding extraordinary, uninterrupted views across the Vale of Aylesbury, Bolebec House is a substantial and atmospheric country residence of exceptional architectural interest. Constructed of stone and brick beneath a gabled fa?ade, the house has evolved organically over four centuries, resulting in a home of great character, depth and flexibility. The earliest part of the house dates to the 16th century, still clearly identifiable in the library wing, reputedly built using stone salvaged from the ruins of nearby Bolebec Castle. Subsequent centuries introduced thoughtful additions and refinements, most notably during the Victorian period, evident in the elegant staircase and brick elevations. In the early 20th century the house was home to the family of celebrated artist Rex Whistler, who famously painted The Vale of Aylesbury from the grounds in 1933. In recent years, the current owners have undertaken an extensive and sensitive programme of refurbishment and modernisation, preserving the home`s historic integrity while introducing contemporary comforts. The addition of a bespoke orangery in 2022 has further enhanced the connection between the house, gardens and views. The accommodation extends to approximately 5,486 sq ft, arranged over three floors, and offers outstanding versatility. An integral west wing can function as guest accommodation, a self-contained annexe or a professional home office with independent access. . Principal Reception Spaces. The formal entrance hall, with its striking Victorian pseudo-Jacobean staircase, sets an immediate tone of elegance. Limestone floors with underfloor heating flow through much of the ground floor, creating cohesion and understated luxury, alongside air-conditioning in various rooms. The open-plan kitchen/breakfast room is a superb family and entertaining space, measuring over 25 feet in length. Dual aspect, it features bi-fold doors opening onto the rear terrace, a traditional five-oven AGA set within a substantial chimney breast, and a newly fitted Shaker-style kitchen with quartz work surfaces and a central island. Sliding doors lead through to a generous dining room, seamlessly connecting to the orangery beyond. This beautifully designed space enjoys south and east-facing glazing, a lantern roof with electronic ventilation, air conditioning, and bespoke cabinetry an exceptional vantage point from which to enjoy the gardens and far-reaching views throughout the seasons. Further reception rooms include a characterful library/sitting room within the original 16th-century structure, featuring rich panelling, extensive shelving and a wood-burning stove, as well as a snug/cinema room and a refined study with stained glass bay window. Bedroom Accommodation. The principal suite occupies a prime position on the first floor and has been conceived in the style of a luxury hotel. It includes a private drawing room with original fireplace, a serene bedroom with fitted storage, and a beautifully appointed en suite bathroom with roll-top bath and walk-in shower. There are six further bedrooms arranged across the upper floors, most with en suite facilities, combining historic charm exposed beams, leaded windows and vaulted ceilings with modern comfort and excellent storage. Thatched Barn Annexe. Attached yet independent, the newly converted 17th-century thatched barn provides an exceptional additional dwelling, ideal for extended family or guests. It offers a kitchen, sitting room, shower room and two vaulted bedrooms, all finished to a high standard and enjoying views across the grounds. The seperate two bedroom cottage, positioned near the entrance, offers further flexibility and includes its own garden courtyard, garage access, and independent street entrance. Gardens, Parkland & Grounds. The 22 acres of gardens and paddock are a defining feature of Bolebec House and have changed little since Whistler`s time. Formal gardens immediately surround the house, with terraces, lawns and mature planting designed to frame the panoramic views. Beyond lie parkland-style gardens enclosed by hedging and fencing, dotted with specimen trees and apple orchards. A charming water garden with pond, waterfall and stone bridge adds to the sense of tranquillity. Further paddocks, meadowland, and woodland extend down into the valley, rich in wildlife and offering exceptional amenity for equestrian or recreational use. Situation.

THE DAK – A RARE OPPORTUNITY TO CREATE SOMETHING EXTRAORDINARY Some properties are defined entirely by the home that stands there today; others are defined by something far more difficult to find: an exceptional position, an extraordinary outlook and the potential to create something truly special. The Dak falls firmly into the latter category, presenting a rare opportunity for a discerning private buyer, architect or developer to acquire a remarkable coastal site where the setting itself is undoubtedly its greatest asset. Occupying an extraordinary position on the Pembrokeshire coastline, The Dak enjoys a relationship with the sea and surrounding landscape that is increasingly difficult to find. The Pembrokeshire Coast Path passes directly through the grounds, while private steps lead down towards a secluded beach below. Extensive outside space surrounds the property, combining areas of lawn with more natural grounds that have been allowed to blend into the coastal landscape, while behind the house, largely hidden beneath established vegetation, are terraces rising towards the boundary. The existing residence has a fascinating and unconventional history stretching back more than a century. Originally constructed during the 1920s using part of an Army surplus hut brought from Carew, elements of that earliest structure can still be identified within the property today. The other half once stood further up near what is now the surfers’ car park at the top of the drive, forming a property known as Tranquility, which disappeared many years ago. Over the decades, The Dak has evolved organically, with various additions and alterations reflecting the different chapters of its life. An external balcony was incorporated into the internal structure, the cellar became part of the developing accommodation and successive owners adapted the building according to the way it was being used at the time. A collection of historic photographs and postcards documents this transition through the years, creating a wonderful visual record of how this unusual coastal property has changed and grown. Hospitality has long formed part of The Dak’s story. Previous owners operated the property as both a café and holiday destination, and when the current family acquired it in 1987, the café continued trading until 1992. The cellar has even had an unexpected commercial chapter, having once housed a loudspeaker business, while one end of the property was successfully used as separate holiday accommodation for many years. Its configuration may therefore offer future potential for a purchaser wishing to explore a similar use once again, subject to any necessary consents and requirements. The Dak’s dramatic setting has also attracted the attention of the film and television industry. The film Basil, starring Christian Slater, was partly filmed locally, with the property used as a working base for the film crew. It was later considered as a potential location for The Pembrokeshire Murders, further illustrating the cinematic quality of a setting shaped by the sea, landscape, weather and changing coastal light. Yet it is perhaps everyday life at The Dak that best explains what makes this location so special. With the Pembrokeshire Coast Path passing through the grounds, generations of walkers have brought interesting encounters and conversations over the years, while the private steps towards the beach create a connection with the coastline that few properties can offer. The grounds themselves change beautifully with the seasons. In late spring and early summer, the scent of honeysuckle fills the evening air, while established New Zealand flax produces striking orange flowers that appear almost to glow against the backdrop of a coastal sunset. The flax also serves a practical purpose, forming a substantial natural windbreak that provides considerable shelter from the Atlantic weather. Despite the drama of its coastal position, The Dak often feels surprisingly protected, even when conditions higher within the village are considerably more exposed. When the weather changes, the character of the setting changes with it. Storms can be watched from the comfort of the house as the sea transforms below, while the steps towards the beach provide a dramatic vantage point from which to experience immense waves rolling towards the shoreline. On calmer days, the same landscape takes on an entirely different character, reinforcing the sense that the outlook here is never static but constantly evolving with the seasons, tides, weather and light. One of the greatest privileges of living at The Dak is the constant connection with the wildlife that calls this remarkable stretch of coastline home. Dolphins and porpoises are frequent visitors offshore, while Atlantic grey seals are regularly seen below the property. On occasion, seal pups have even rested on the secluded beach beneath the cliffs, creating unforgettable moments for those fortunate enough to witness them. Above, gannets dive spectacularly into the sea in search of fish, joined by a wealth of coastal birdlife that changes throughout the seasons. The ever present sound of the waves provides a wonderfully calming backdrop to daily life. Whether enjoying a quiet morning coffee, watching the sun set across the bay or simply sitting in the garden listening to the rhythm of the sea, there is a sense of peace and tranquillity here that is difficult to describe and impossible to recreate elsewhere. Today, the existing property would benefit from significant investment and modernisation. For one buyer, the opportunity may be to comprehensively renovate and reimagine The Dak, retaining the history and individuality that have developed here over more than a century while adapting the accommodation for modern coastal living. For another buyer, architect or developer, the possibilities could be considerably more ambitious. Subject to obtaining all necessary planning permissions and consents, there may be an opportunity to explore a more substantial redevelopment of the site and potentially create an exceptional new residence designed specifically around the qualities of its setting. What makes that prospect so compelling is that almost everything about a property can be changed, but its position cannot. Buildings can be altered, layouts redesigned and architecture completely transformed; an outlook and relationship with the coastline of this calibre simply cannot be recreated. A thoughtfully conceived new home could place the landscape at the heart of its architecture, with expansive glazing framing the coastal panorama, generous open plan living spaces positioned to maximise natural light and terraces creating a seamless connection between inside and out. Whether the vision is for a striking contemporary residence or a more traditional architectural design sympathetic to its surroundings, the setting provides the opportunity to create a home of genuine distinction. For a developer, The Dak presents the rarity of an established residential site where location, history and future potential come together in an exceptional way. For a private buyer, it offers something equally compelling: the chance to secure an irreplaceable coastal position and create a deeply personal home designed around one of Pembrokeshire’s most remarkable natural settings. This is therefore not simply a sale centred around the house as it currently stands. The existing building represents more than a century of history, from its beginnings as part of an Army surplus hut in the 1920s, through its café and holiday accommodation years, its unusual commercial ventures, film connections and almost four decades in the same family. The next chapter presents an entirely new opportunity. For those prepared to bring imagination, investment and vision, The Dak offers something increasingly rare: not simply a property, but an irreplaceable piece of the Pembrokeshire coastline. Its history, extensive grounds, private access towards the secluded beach and extraordinary relationship with the sea create an opportunity that cannot be replicated. The next owner will not simply inherit a home; they will become the custodian of one of Pembrokeshire’s most remarkable coastal settings, with the chance to create something truly exceptional for generations to come. A home created not merely to occupy this remarkable landscape, but to celebrate it.

This Grade II listed Cornish stone cottage occupies a south facing position and enjoys a wonderfully balanced layout across two floors, with rooms that feel both welcoming and practical for everyday life. Traditional features run throughout, including original slate flagstone flooring, exposed beams and an inglenook fireplace, giving the house a strong sense of heritage and warmth. At the heart of the home, the kitchen and breakfast room combines everyday function with a striking outlook, opening the house to far reaching views of the sea and coastline. A separate dining room adds to the sense of occasion, while two reception rooms provide flexibility for family life, entertaining or quieter retreat. One of these rooms opens through glazed doors to the garden, creating an easy connection between inside and out. A utility room adds useful support space, and there is further versatility on the ground floor for those seeking the option of an additional bedroom. On the first floor, four spacious bedrooms continue the feeling of comfort and proportion, with one enjoying particularly attractive sea views. A family bathroom serves the bedroom accommodation, while the overall arrangement allows the house to suit both permanent living and extended family occupation with ease. The outside space is a major part of the appeal, with the farmhouse enjoying a south facing front garden and a wonderfully open relationship with its coastal surroundings. Access is from the western side via a shared approach with The Hayloft, where there is generous parking for both properties together with a garage and a utility room to the rear. To the rear, a large, enclosed lawn has been carefully maintained and provides an excellent setting for outdoor dining, family use or simply enjoying the outlook. Two separate sea facing patio areas create distinct places to sit and take in the views, one reached from the kitchen and breakfast room and the other from the living room. Together they give the house a strong sense of privacy, shelter and connection to the landscape, with the ocean and coastline providing an ever-changing backdrop.

The first floor is especially impressive, with a vaulted open plan living room extending the full length of the building. This is a space with real impact, combining scale, character and comfort in a way that suits both everyday living and entertaining.

From here, the views take in the ocean, the rugged Cornish coastline and the surrounding countryside in a way that feels both open and peaceful. The outside space complements the internal layout particularly well, creating a home that is as enjoyable outdoors as it is within. Services: Mains Electricity and Water. Oil Fired Central Heating. Private drainage. THE BOATSHED The Boatshed has been sympathetically converted from a former barn to create a self-contained studio of real character and quality. Set apart from the main farmhouse, it enjoys a greater sense of independence while still benefiting from the wider appeal of the setting. The interior is arranged as an open plan living space, with the kitchen, sitting area and bedroom space brought together in a way that feels calm, practical and surprisingly spacious. Exposed beams add warmth and texture, while floor to ceiling glazing draws in the landscape and gives the studio a strong visual connection to the sea and countryside beyond. The overall finish is of a high standard, with the design allowing the setting to take centre stage. It is a space that feels considered and atmospheric, equally suited to peaceful personal use or welcoming guests in comfort. The Boatshed is approached via its own private driveway, giving it a distinct sense of separation from the other buildings. Separate parking adds to this independence, while a footpath leads to the property itself. To the rear, an elevated terrace makes the most of the dramatic outlook, with wide reaching views across the Cornish countryside to the sea. A coastal inspired patio garden provides an attractive and manageable outdoor space that sits naturally within its surroundings. The result is a setting that feels private, scenic and deeply connected to the landscape. Services: Mains Electricity and Water. Electric Central Heating. Private Drainage. Seller's Insight Standing at the kitchen sink watching a peregrine falcon circling looking for prey you feel as though you are a million miles away from the real world yet civilisation is right next door. We love the fact that there’s a different scene from every window and when our neighbour brings his sheep to the fields you also get free entertainment. Boscastle feels like a link to the past with its centuries’ old customs house (now the Cobweb Inn) and Elizabethan harbour wall. In summer watching dogs play in the river and children diving and swimming in the harbour it feels like an excerpt from a Rosamund Pilcher book. In the winter it’s more reminiscent of Daphne Du Maurier. Boscastle is also one of the friendliest villages in the country and people are happy to help you if they possibly can; one word of advice – the landlord of the Cobweb Inn knows anyone and everyone and is the first port of call for advice.

Despite its tranquil countryside setting, it's a well-connected location, with the national motorway network accessible in only 5 to 10 minutes, and plentiful amenities within a short drive. There are many aspects which make this property one of a kind. The smart-home and eco-home technology. The opulent interior design crafted with the finest materials. The tasteful blend of contemporary and character styling. The generous landscaped grounds with natural garden lake and rockface. The babbling brook flowing by the easterly boundary. The list goes on! Accommodation Summary - A summary of the ground floor includes a grand entrance hall with porch, principal lounge with home cinema capability, family room, dining area, a fully integrated Siematic kitchen with island and bar, utility, study, boot room, downstairs WC, and two handy storage rooms/closets (one off the dining area, and one off the boot room). The first floor features a gallery landing with vaulted ceiling, three double en-suite bedrooms, a master suite with private dressing area/boudoir, walk-in wardrobe, and mezzanine master bathroom, plus a balcony spanning the full width of the house with lovely green views. There is a substantial converted basement consisting of two rooms - a plant/comms room, and a versatile room which would be perfect for use as a wine cellar. Separate from the main house is an additional building consisting of a detached double garage and a large home gym with terrace overlooking the natural garden lake, which holds excellent potential for a variety of uses. Outstanding Design - Formerly a public house dating back to the early 1800s, this property has undergone significant redevelopment and been transformed into a signature residential property with outstanding design, both inside and out, where interiors have been masterfully crafted by the award-winning interior design and architectural studio 'Design by Uber'. From the polished marble bathrooms and crystal-effect stone feature walls, the stone and oak flooring, to the designer chandeliers and grand vaulted ceilings, every detail contributes to creating a true wow-factor. The house has also been designed with practicality in mind, benefitting from a floor plan that flows perfectly for both everyday life and when entertaining family and friends, while taking full advantage of the landscaped grounds through an abundance of glass. Additionally, there are plenty of smart-home features that give convenience for daily life, such as underfloor heating throughout with independent control for every room, an integrated indoor and outdoor sound system, mood lighting, remote controlled black-out curtains and blinds, and a comprehensive security system with CCTV and intercom for the electric gates. Well prepared for the ongoing transition to green energy, and having the advantage of long-term energy savings, the heating system is powered by two air-source heat pumps, with a heat recovery system which optimises the efficiency of the pumps. The Approach - On the country lane, a tall hedgerow adjoins a stone wall and two stone pillars set beside the electric gates, creating a beautiful entrance and a great sense of privacy. Beyond the gates a large drive bordered by manicured lawns sits in front of the house, providing lots of space for parking, and continues further to the detached double garage on the left. An Abundance Of Living Space - There are two entrances to the property at the front, one being the main front door, which is ideal for guests, leading through a traditional porch and into the grand entrance hall, and the other being a more practical, daily entrance to the meet the demands of modern family life, leading through the boot room, past the downstairs WC, and into the kitchen. The principal lounge is super generous in size, spanning the full depth of the property. It's no surprise it is presented to impeccable standards, with a hidden home cinema system including integrated ceiling speakers, and an Epson projector and Sapphire screen that descend from the ceiling. Draw the black-out curtains with a touch of a button on the remote, and you have the complete big screen experience from the comfort of your own home. As well as the home cinema, a set of bifold doors makes the most of the views to the garden, and the chimney breast is home to a log burner and wall-mounted TV point. The heart of the home is arguably the top of the range Siematic kitchen, grounded by a smart limestone floor. A substantial island with Corian worktop and oak breakfast bar allows the room to be a superb social space, and the comprehensive range of high quality appliances are housed within contemporary two-tone cabinetry. Integrated cooking appliances include a Miele oven, steam oven, combination microwave, and two warming drawers, plus a Siemens induction hob and downdraft extractor. There's also a full length fridge and freezer, Miele wine cooler, Siemens dishwasher, and Caple sink with Quooker tap. Off the kitchen the spacious Siematic utility room ensures you can keep the kitchen tidy and clutter-free with additional storage cupboards and worktop space, an extra Caple sink, and plenty of room to do the laundry with plumbing for the washer/dryer. Adjacent to here is also a study with a window to the front, which would alternatively be well suited for use as a play room for the little ones. On the other side of the kitchen, a few steps lead down to the family room, where a vast set of floor to ceiling windows and bifold doors frame expansive views of the lush green grounds and garden lake while providing access to the rear garden terrace and circular walled patio - a perfect setup for garden parties and enjoying the summer weather. The oak floor in this room gives a nod to the cottage character, and the stylish fire set within a media wall adds to the modern design. Due to its great size and convenient position next to the kitchen, it's a versatile room with sufficient space for both a lounge area and an informal dining/breakfast area. In addition to the principal lounge and family room, there are two further reception rooms... The grand entrance hall is large enough to be another sitting area, with a log burner that's sure to give a warming glow on cold, wintery days. With an open aspect to the entrance hall, the dining room is another delightful space for dinner parties and entertaining, with more bifold doors that 'bring the outside in' and allow you to appreciate the landscaped grounds year-round. A notable aspect of the interior design in this part of the property is the glass floor that displays the wine cellar below. Bedrooms & Bathrooms - Ascending from the centre of the home between the kitchen and dining room is a bespoke walnut staircase with glass balustrades, handcrafted leather handrail, and a stunning crystal-effect tiled stone feature wall that rises high into the vaulted ceiling. The feature wall is illuminated by subtle uplights set within the floor that complement the 2.3m Italian-crystal chandelier hanging beautifully within the stairwell. From the gallery landing, the end of the corridor opens into the imposing master suite with another vaulted ceiling and designer chandelier that add to the grandeur. Within the bedroom, a set of bifold doors pour natural light into the room and lead to the balcony spanning the width of the property at the rear. A partition wall with designer wallpaper separates the super-king bed from a private dressing area, similar to that of boudoirs found in premium suites of the best hotels, fitted with high quality cabinetry, a dressing table and mirror with inset lighting. The opulence continues in the large walk-in wardrobe featuring elegant, mirrored wardrobes, drawers, an island and shelving. Above here is a fabulous mezzanine master bathroom which is fully tiled with white marble and comprises a four-piece suite, including a tiled-in steam shower with marble seating, bath with marble surrounds, WC, and vanity basin with storage. Each of the three further bedrooms have their own en-suites and are well-proportioned for family life, benefitting from being good sized doubles so the whole family can enjoy oodles of space. The professional interior design is evident in the en-suites too, with polished marble tiling to the floor and walls, and substantial walk-in showers with glass facades. The second bedroom also benefits from bifold doors opening onto the rear balcony, and the third bedroom features a walk-through dressing passage with bronze-tinted, mirrored fitted wardrobes. Outbuildings & Outside Space - An advantage of this already spectacular home is the versatile two-storey outbuilding, composed of the double garage with electric door which is accessed from the driveway, and below is a huge room that's currently configured as a fully equipped gym. The gym is incredibly private despite its wealth of floor to ceiling windows overlooking the natural garden lake, and glass doors open onto a lakeside terrace with swim spa and hot tub (available by separate negotiation). If not used as a gym, this versatile space could suit a variety of uses, subject to regulations. A games room with snooker table and bar? Self-contained annex accommodation for family? Or perhaps separated as an Airbnb for extra income? The choice is yours! Hidden behind this outbuilding is a large log store. As well as the waterfall flowing into the garden lake, a trickling brook flows down the side of the boundary, providing a calming countryside sound to be enjoyed while you're relaxing outside on warm summer days. Beyond the terrace and circular walled patio outside the family room, the grounds continue far beyond the water over a grassy area bordered by woodland, to a fenced children's play area at the bottom of the garden. It's fair to say this property has it all. Countryside Convenience - Situated on a country lane between several villages in south-west Lancashire, Brook House brings with it the opportunity to enjoy the peace and quiet of countryside living while being well connected for transport links, schools and amenities. Junction 27 of the M6 is accessible in only 5 to 10 minutes, making it an ideal location for those who regularly commute but prefer a more rural lifestyle, while adding to its overall accessibility for everyone.

Plus a further double garage with internal access to the main home. Completing the outdoor accommodation are three further separate buildings, providing abundant storage options and significant scope for alternative uses.

This majestic three storey detached residence in the heart of Folkestone’s prestigious West End was originally built in 1925 as a weekend and holiday retreat for wealthy Londoners – and could become that again. However, it fell into disrepair but was rescued by the current owners about 14 years ago and was completely gutted and renovated from top to bottom including a new roof with 28,000 tiles, new ceilings, plumbing, electrics, insulation, kitchen and bathrooms. At the same time not only did they retain the superb period features but where some features had been destroyed or removed, they were replaced or replicated. So now you have a beautiful period property but designed for modern day living. It also provides amazingly flexible accommodation to suit a variety of requirements and makes an ideal multi-generational home. If you have adult children or independent teenagers there is a whole floor they can enjoy. If you have elderly relatives who find the stairs difficult or you need a suite of offices, there is a separate area on the ground floor that could easily be adapted to provide a delightful annex and if you enjoy indoor and outdoor entertaining the superb drawing room and stunning gardens offer the ideal ambience. It is only about a minute’s walk from the seafront and the mile long clifftop promenade known as The Leas with its panoramic views across to France as well as a Victorian bandstand, access to the Lower Leas Coastal Park and the Leas Cliff Hall. It is also within easy reach of Sandgate and Folkestone town centre, two mainline stations, the M20 and the Channel Tunnel. The property is set very far back from the road with a driveway leading to the garage with an inspection pit and a pedestrian gate that opens onto a pathway to the main entrance, flanked by hedges and vast swathes of level lawn, part of which could be adapted for additional off road parking. It is at this stage that you can begin to appreciate the L shaped house’s external charm with its high chimneystacks, white walls contrasting with the red roof and multi-pane casement windows. While internally there is the original staircase, original wood floors and fireplaces with open fires, coved ceilings and renovated sash windows at the rear. The period front door opens into the very spacious reception hall with a cloakroom that includes the original basin and the oak staircase. It is large enough for guests to gather for cocktails before moving down the corridor into the fabulous dual aspect 32.2ft drawing room. This very special room includes a pair of original inset shelving units with patterned glass doors, a large curved bay window and a superb fireplace with a sculptured surround and a beautiful marble inset and hearth as a delightful focal point. There is an adjacent sitting room that also includes a double inset shelving unit with original patterned glass doors, a fireplace with a tiled surround and a door to the rear garden. Another special place and where the family spend much of their time is the kitchen/dining room with a large bay incorporating a stable door to the rear terrace. This light and bright dual aspect space includes a Belling range cooker and flat fronted glossy white units with Corian worktops, a dishwasher and space for an American fridge freezer as well as a central island/breakfast bar. There is also plenty of space for a large dining table adjacent to the original fireplace with inset tiles and a sculptured surround. Beyond the kitchen/dining room is a door to what was originally the butler’s domain. This area now includes a scullery, a home office with a charming little fireplace and a good sized family room that used to be the original kitchen and still includes the original kitchen cupboards. There is also a large boiler room, a useful wet room, a utility facility, rear door access to the garage and a back door to the garden. As this is basically a separate area with its own independent external access it could easily be converted into a spacious annexe and even the garage could become part of the accommodation. The beautiful oak staircase with its carved newel posts leads to the galleried corridor on the first floor. Here you will find a family bathroom with a stand-alone oval bath, a separate toilet and three double bedrooms with views over the beautiful rear garden. These include a large dual aspect double with a fireplace, a full height mirror and a seating/study area, another with a fireplace and a third with a deep fitted cupboard. While the stunning main bedroom has a large bay window, a fireplace and a door to a very large dressing room that could always be used as another bedroom or may be partly converted to include en suite facilities. This floor also includes a good sized study/hobby room that could be used as another bedroom with its adjacent vaulted ceiling storage room that would make an excellent en suite bathroom. The staircase to the second floor was built as an exact replica of the original even down to the newel posts. It leads to the spacious second floor with its galleried landing, plenty of eaves storage and a large storage cupboard. There is a bathroom with a spa bath, vanity basin and a wet room style shower, a second wet room and three double bedrooms with Velux windows providing stunning views over the garden and beyond. These include one at the end of a corridor that could be a sitting room as this floor would make a great ‘hideaway’ for teenagers or adult children looking for a bit of independence and somewhere to entertain their friends. Beautifully landscaped and secluded rear gardens greet you as your walk outside onto the spacious crazy paved terrace. This is ideal for barbecues and al fresco dining as well as just relaxing in the sunshine enjoying the delightful vista in front of you or looking back at the impressive rear exterior of the house. There are curved steps up to a crazy paved path flanked by delightful shrubs and flower beds and a large fishpond as well a spacious level lawns interspersed with shrub beds, mature trees and fruit trees with the original brick wall on each side of the garden.
