DESCRIPTION
The original property is believed to date back to pre C1800, being formerly part of the Leawood Estate owned by the Carmady Hamlin family. The external bell (dated 1799) on the front first floor elevation was believed to be used to summon employees of the estate to the offices. In 1998, the main house was sympathetically improved and extended, which included the creation of a well presented two bedroom self contained annexe. The main residence is equally well cared for, and incorporates four reception rooms, a study area, cloakroom and utility room. With an impressive kitchen/breakfast room completing the ground floor. On the first floor are five bedrooms. The principal bedroom having an en suite. A family bathroom completes the first floor.
Outside the property is approached by Vale Down, a wonderful avenue of beech trees (known as "The Cathedral"), which border the property's grounds. A five bar gate gives access to a tarmac driveway leading to the garage and provides ample areas to park. The main area of garden lies to the rear of the property and comprises a substantial lawned area with many mature trees and a paved terrace which enjoy a delightful rural outlook. The grounds extend to approximately 2.06 acres and are a particularly attractive feature of this lovely home.
