Description

Built in 2011, The Walled Garden is a spacious family home with contemporary interiors. All rooms radiate directly off the generous reception hall making for a pleasing flow to the ground floor. Bifold doors connecting the sitting room, kitchen and orangery, with its roof lantern, flood the house with natural light and provide the flexibility to create a generous entertaining area.   Both the sitting room and library have fireplaces, both with wood burning stoves.   

The contemporary kitchen units sit beneath composite stone worktops and appliances include a Rangemaster cooker and dishwasher and a wine fridge.

The orangery opens directly to the garden and terrace via a bank of bifold doors to one wall.   Just off the kitchen is a study/playroom and a utility/boot room.

An oak staircase rises to the first floor. The impressive principal bedroom suite has a vaulted ceiling with a vast oak king post truss and lovely views of the garden. It has a dressing room and en suite bathroom with bath and shower. There is a further en suite bedroom to this floor, two more bedrooms and a family bathroom. Stairs wind to the second floor with two pretty attic bedrooms with window seats overlooking the village green and a family shower room.
