A wonderfully presented 4 bedroom detached house with separate 2 double bedroom annexe, double garage and ample driveway parking in an enclosed private location with beautifully maintained gardens surrounded by countryside.
Ash Tree House is a remarkable country home with a rich history dating back to the 1800s. Over the years, this cherished residence has undergone thoughtful extensions and has served as a much-loved family home for the past 17 years. Tucked away within an expansive and secluded plot, it is enclosed by neat walls and accessed via electrically operated wooden gates.
The living accommodation is arranged off a smart entrance hallway with an elegant engineered wood floor. To the left is the spacious dining room, featuring an exposed stone wall and ample space for a substantial dining table.
Beyond lies the superb dual-aspect kitchen/breakfast room, fitted with an extensive range of stylish wooden wall and base units, including glazed display cupboards, plate rack shelves, and a peninsular end. A deep-inset sink with classic-style taps complements the traditional character. There is also an integrated fridge, space for a generous breakfast table, a large range-style cooker, and a dishwasher.
Off the kitchen, a lobby leads to a cloakroom on the right, and to the left is a well-equipped laundry/boiler room offering excellent storage and space for a washing machine, tumble dryer, and American-style fridge/freezer.
The living room, situated to the right of the entrance hall, is charming and generously proportioned, with a painted beamed ceiling and an open fireplace set in a brick chimney with a quarry tile hearth. Two windows offer wonderful views over the garden. Off the sitting room is a dual-aspect room currently used as a home office, which could also serve as a snug, music room, or playroom.
Upstairs, the bedroom accommodation is thoughtfully arranged. To the right is the impressive dual-aspect principal bedroom suite, which includes ample wardrobe space and a stylish en-suite shower room, along with wonderful garden views. The upstairs landing, with its beamed ceiling and overhead Velux windows, feels particularly light and airy. There are three further double bedrooms, the largest featuring fitted wardrobes, and all benefit from lovely views of the gardens. At the end of the landing is the smart family bathroom, which includes a bath with screened shower and an airing cupboard.
This beautiful and exceptional country home perfectly blends characterful charm with modern living and contemporary styling.
