Description

The Land of Green Ginger is a highly individual home situated in a remarkable position surrounded by farmland and offering both modern and characterful accommodation at the same time.

Having been transformed during our current owners tenure to offer a remarkable family home which must be viewed to appreciate the location and quality on offer.

Having been two semi-detached cottages in its former life, the property retains period features such as beams and fireplaces to both the sitting and snug rooms but with a total contrast between the old and the new thanks to the glass connected hallway. The sitting room benefits from excellent views out towards farmland and the snug allows for a multi-purpose room which could be used as a home office, playroom or tv room.
The centerpiece of the property is its stunning kitchen/dining room which has been created in the modern extension. This superb space makes for ideal socialising and family living and with its bi-folding doors it really brings the outdoors in. One of my personal favourite features is the secret pantry wonderfully accessed through the bespoke cabinets. The ground floor is completed with a useful utility room and cloakroom as well as plenty of built in storage.

To the first floor are four double bedrooms including the exceptional principal suite benefitting from its own en suite facilities and views over the grounds and countryside. The remaining bedrooms are served via a further en suite and family bathroom.

Outside
Sitting within grounds of about 0.8 acres the property has off road parking for several vehicles. The grounds are mainly laid to lawn but with a patio terrace, ideal for entertaining and an outdoor covered kitchen area. An area of orchard and small wooded section gives a sense of character to the outside and the owners have installed a practical home office which allows to get away from any distractions within the property and a workshop within the gardens for secure tool storage.
