Description

Gravel Hill Farm is a substantial house originally dating from the early 20th century. It has been extended over time to provide more than approximately 6,000 sq ft of well-presented accommodation arranged across two light-filled floors. Much of the home features elegant, traditional styling with ceiling cornicing, ornate patterned wallpaper and original fireplaces, including in the dual aspect reception room, the adjoining dining room and the comfortable living room at the front. There is also a more modern sitting room with tiled flooring and French sliding glass doors opening on to the garden, while at the rear there is a further sitting room and reception, connected in a semi open-plan layout with an arched opening.

The heart of the home is the south-facing kitchen, with its wood panelled ceiling and wooden fitted units, skylights overhead and sliding glass doors opening on to the patio area. There is a breakfast area with banquette seating, a central island, integrated appliances and an Aga.

Upstairs the five double bedrooms are well-presented, including the principal bedroom with its large en suite shower room. Each of the additional four bedrooms are en suite, three of which are en suite shower rooms, with the largest bedroom benefitting from Jack and Jill access to the family bathroom.

The house is set in a peaceful rural position and surrounded by extensive grounds of about 7.24 acres, including paddocks and fields. There are several outbuildings, including a garaging block with four garages, a barn with a total of approximately 3,500 sq ft of storage space, and a timber-framed stables block. The gravel driveway provides access to the home with ample parking, as well as leading to the barn and stables. The garden includes a large patio area with a south-facing aspect, welcoming sunlight throughout the day, as well as an area of lawn bordered by hedgerows and dotted with mature trees. The landscaped walled garden provides further space in which to relax, with the orchard and pond with its footbridge across, add to the overall sense of peace tranquillity.
