Description

The Grove is understood to date from the 1720s with the E-shaped farm building originally converted in 1970. The current owners have converted the extensive range of buildings into holiday cottages over the past 20 years. The principal residence has been an outstanding family home and is being offered to the market for the first time in approximately 26 years. With generous reception space comprising dining room, drawing room, which benefits from a wood burning stove, and a versatile study room/ground floor bedroom (6). The ground floor has a reception hall, wet room, utility room and cloakroom. The delightful kitchen looks over the gardens and has an inviting AGA kitchen/ breakfast room with ample space for a table and chairs. The principal residence is further enhanced by five first-floor bedrooms (one en-suite) and family bathroom.

The holiday cottages are well divided from The Grove being located in a separate wing of the E-shaped complex. The gardens are also divided, furnishing both the owners and holiday makers with privacy. The six cottages are a selection of one and two bedrooms, each with their own outside space, and have all been renovated in a sympathetic country fashion with good bathroom facilities and cottage style kitchens. Further benefits include an L-shaped range of traditional outbuildings/cart lodges which lend itself to further development such as a gym or meeting/games room. There is also extensive parking facilities away from the house and a central courtyard.

Located within Priory Green, the property is approached via a shingle driveway leading to the courtyard. A second access leads to an area of parking for approximately 16 vehicles. Mature trees and shrubs provide screening from the country lane. Beyond the gardens are three paddocks with self-filling water troughs which flank the house and amount to 4.25 acres.
