Description
East Markham House is a substantial period property situated within a
conservation area, with the oldest parts dating from around 1742. The house
has been extensively altered and extended over the last 10 years, though much
of the work has been sympathetic to the character of the home and a good
number of original features remain, such as exposed timber beams, brick
fireplaces and traditional latched doors. These are beautifully complemented
by an array of modern additions, from a stylish and contemporary farmhouse
kitchen to sleek bathrooms with roll - top baths and rainfall showers,
underfloor heating and beautiful stone - tiled floors. The house has been
decorated with neutral tones and splashes of vibrant colour, making it an easy
process to personalise by the new owner. It has a "best of both" feel
throughout, with a cosy, character style made modern by the updated décor.
Externally there are lovely gardens, plenty of parking and an outbuilding
which offers flexibility on its use.
The house is deceptively spacious, with a grand Georgian façade leading back
some distance and a number of the outbuildings to the rear now converted to
create additional living space which totals about 3668 sq ft. The ground floor
has a variety of reception rooms, perfect for big family gatherings. A
welcoming reception hall opens to a formal sitting room, a snug and a
beautifully appointed open plan kitchen/dining room with a wall of windows
overlooking the garden. There’s also plenty of storage and space to keep the
mundane parts of day - to - day life tucked away, with a laundry room, cloakroom
and boot room, plus several generous cupboards.
All of the bedrooms, situated over the top two floors, are double size,
individually decorated and possess excellent character, with an additional
bedroom on the second floor a particular highlight with its useful dressing
area and en suite shower room. Planning permission has been granted for a
kitchen extension (14/00995/hse).
There is private parking on a block - paved driveway which leads along the side
of the house, between the kitchen and a detached garage block featuring two
garages with barn - style doors and a separate office, ideal for homeworking or
as a studio. The walled garden to the rear is south - facing and landscaped to
include a variety of mature trees and shrubs, with a lawn in the middle. There
are a number of spaces to sit, including a stunning outdoor kitchen with
built - in pizza oven.
