Property Description: Chain Free. Guide Price £775,000 to £800,000.The Grange is a charming, historic, attached and very private country house, located on a quiet lane close to the picturesque church in this peaceful village. Originally part of a larger property that was sympathetically divided into two many years ago creating an individual home with an expansive garden and a feeling of seclusion and privacy.
The South facing front façade, with its impressive porch and symmetrically placed diamond leaded light windows, sets the tone and character of the property and invites you into the generous living room with exposed beams, flag stone floor, cast iron radiators and open fire place. Leading from the spacious inner hall is the dining room with incredible inglenook fireplace and window seat - a fabulous entertaining room. The kitchen/breakfast room is light and bright with windows looking out onto the garden. It has a full range of fitted units and a Rangemaster gas cooker. With entertaining again in mind there is plumbing for two dishwashers!
Stairs from the inner hall rise to the expansive first floor landing, which is a room in itself and with part vaulted ceiling and roof lights this is a light and bright space. The four well proportioned bedrooms and family bathroom leading off the landing area are all characterful, with the majority of the bedrooms having south facing leaded windows. The principal bedroom suite overlooks the beautiful gardens and has an en-suite shower room and dressing area with built in cupboards. There is plenty of storage within the large loft area.
Outside: The gardens are truly magnificent with a semi-circular dressed high stone wall enclosing the terrace and inner garden, complete with a water feature. Stone steps then lead to an expanse of well kept lawn surrounded by mature shrubs and trees. The garden is totally private.
The house is approached via a pretty gravelled driveway with parking for several cars and a double garage with gates then opening out to the garden.
