Description

A charming detached country house in a wonderful position at the end of a long, private drive nestled in a small community of just four period homes within former farmstead, standing in lovely gardens and surrounding private grounds, with excellent additional annexe accommodation in two further buildings, in all extending to about 0.75 acres.
Meadow Gate is a really pretty house, a former barn to the original farmstead, extended and refurbished by the current owner and offering around 2,300 sq ft of accommodation in the main house. The outside gardens, wider grounds and outbuildings are a tremendous feature of the property, there are two additional guest bedroom suites in the grounds as well as two offices set within converted timber buildings, all with outside amenity space and providing great flexibility for an incoming purchaser.
There is superb hard standing on the large, gravelled forecourt which provides parking areas for each of the properties here and the lawned garden with adjacent large entertaining terrace adjoins an orchard and a small paddock with a wooded backdrop, fire pit etc - a real haven for those with outdoor interests. A useful timber stable building and lean to completes the outdoor buildings.
The main house is very well presented and includes a spacious open-plan dining hallway with fitted study area and a ground floor WC with contemporary staircase leading to the first floor. The lounge overlooks the front, has a wood burning stove and an oak floor and the kitchen/dining room with a range of contemporary cabinets and a central island has bi-fold doors to a covered loggia at the rear and an adjacent utility and boot room. The utility room could be taken out to enlarge the kitchen very easily. A ground floor fourth bedroom area is currently used as a gym and has an adjacent shower room and this lovely covered loggia area with a lantern roof light provides an indoor/outdoor space from the kitchen.
At first floor level there are three bedrooms - the main bedroom a large impressive room with a huge semi-circular window enjoying lovely open views, and boasting an adjacent en suite bathroom with freestanding bath and a shower. The second large double bedroom has a remodelled en suite shower room and the third bedroom is a split-level room with a lower level dual aspect sitting area and a mezzanine bedroom space above and this bedroom uses its own bathroom off the landing. There is a further mezzanine space above the landing, accessed via a ladder staircase which is used as an occasional bed area but could be storage space or a study perhaps.
The outside buildings in more detail include a small detached lodge guest bedroom with varnished concrete floor, feature timber panelled wall, dressing room and en suite shower room and a larger second detached building with further guest bedroom and high quality en suite bathroom and two further rooms - one currently used as a treatment room and one as an office. There is an adjacent outdoor WC here also. A timber framed stable building in the paddock area provides several useful storage sheds or possibly a stable for a small pony and an outdoor covered space for log storage and tractor storage.
