Broadmead House is beautifully presented and full of original Georgian architectural features, with a suite of cellars on its lower ground floor, a private, south-facing rear garden, garage and ample, free parking on the doorstep.Set in the centre of the village and fronting onto a lane lined with period properties, Broadmead House is an elegant property constructed in the reign of George III. It has light and well-proportioned rooms on two storeys plus a suite of useful cellars and is built of distinctive, local red sandstone. It has also retained many of its original features including tall, 12-pane sash windows with working shutters that allow in masses of natural light, a sweeping staircase overlooked by a part-galleried landing, marble fireplaces, ceiling plasterwork and coving and picture rails. It has been sympathetically extended at the rear to increase the size of the kitchen, which is south and west facing with views out over the garden and French windows opening onto a good-sized paved terrace. In addition to a 30’ long hallway the ground floor has two adjoining reception rooms inter-connected by a wide, tall archway. The bespoke kitchen has ample space for a six-seat kitchen table and is fitted with a two-oven AGA and electric oven and induction hob, integrated fridge/freezer and dishwasher.Upstairs there is a total of four bedrooms, one of which is currently used as a study. The principal bedroom is very impressive and has a walkthrough dressing room with built-in wardrobes and a large en suite bath/shower room.Broadmead House fronts the village street, where there is on-street parking supplemented by a free car park just 30 yards away. The property’s garden extends out behind the house and is enclosed by a tall stone wall on two sides and a close-boarded fence that affords a good degree of privacy. A paved terrace extends out from the back of the house and is accessed from the kitchen french windows by a flight of stone steps. Beyond is a lawn fringed by richly stocked borders, with shrubs and mature trees and a charming summerhouse. At the far end of the garden is the kitchen garden which offers a greenhouse and garden store. A pedestrian gate at the rear of the garden opens onto a shared private drive leading to a single garage, which is the centre one of a block of three.
