5 bedroom house for sale

Overview

The majority of the gardens are to the rear of Bay House with a paved stone terrace which extends along the rear facade

Bay House is an un-listed attached property of period origins with attractive brick, colour washed and rendered elevations under a pitched clay tile roof. Quietly positioned in the centre of the village, the house has sensibly configured accommodation with two large beautifully proportioned reception rooms with excellent ceiling heights. Both reception rooms have open fireplaces, the drawing room with a Jetmaster, and both have access to the rear garden. Improvements have included removal of the principal staircase resulting in the large dining room and the creation of a fifth bedroom; other works include installation of a Grant condensing wood pellet boiler which heats the house, together with an oil fired AGA. Other attributes worthy of mention include attractive sash windows on the south elevation, a fine wood parquet floor in the drawing room, attractive French windows in the drawing room leading to the garden, light and bright accommodation and fine south facing views from four of the five bedrooms at first floor level. Other original features include leaded light windows, and a stone flag floor in the utility room. The property is approached off the lane through timber gates onto a gravelled car parking and turning area in an attractive walled courtyard. Adjoining this is a brick and tiled garage and separate timber doors providing access to the rear garden. The majority of the gardens are to the rear of Bay House with a paved stone terrace which extends along the rear facade. The rear garden is principally to lawn bordered by brick wall on the west and tall beech hedging on the east. There are a variety of ornamental shrubs and a bay tree hedge.
