The property dates from the 17th century, with later additions. Over the years
the property has been completely restored carefully retaining all features
appropriate to the period. There are beam and cross beamed ceilings, flagstone
floors, tongue and groove doors with iron latch furniture, original
fireplaces, oak floors, and an oak staircase. More recently a bespoke kitchen
by Tom Howley was fitted and a superb oak framed conservatory, opening to the
west, was added to the kitchen. The interior has a warm and friendly
atmosphere where the charm of the old house blends gently with contemporary
living. The central entrance hall, with flagstone floor has the drawing room
and sitting room on either side. The drawing room is an attractive room with
cross beam ceiling, window seat and large open fireplace. Steps lead to the
dining room with oak floor boards, beamed ceiling and a walk - in cellar off.
The sitting room has a log burning stove fitted in an original fireplace and
window seat. The bespoke breakfast kitchen includes an island with units and
breakfast bar. Integral appliances include a hob, oven, dishwasher, fridge and
an oil Aga. The kitchen opens into an oak framed conservatory with stone floor
and two pairs of French windows, opening in to the west - facing garden, under a
glazed atrium. There is also a utility room and shower/cloakroom leading from
the conservatory. A second entrance to the house is through the large former
dairy/ boot room with flagstone floor.
The first floor is approached up a staircase from the drawing room. The
generous principal bedroom suite in the north - west wing, has a short flight of
stairs leading down to the study. There are two bedrooms at the front of the
house and two bedrooms and family bathroom to the rear of the house. On the
second floor, there is a further bedroom and shower room each accessed by
separate staircases.
Outside, Lye Hole Farm is approached over a small bridge and stream on the
northern boundary. The drive continues past the house to the east and leads to
a lower and upper parking area behind the house. Adjoining the house is a
single garage/barn. The delightful gardens lie mainly to the west, immediately
outside the conservatory and there are attractive views of the surrounding
countryside. There is a level lawn with deep shaped herbaceous borders and at
a lower level, a large cobbled area with a backdrop of a high stone wall
adorned with a wisteria and vine, which is ideal for entertaining. Shallow
steps lead down to the stream. Beside the kitchen garden is a stone and tile
potting/garden outbuilding. Immediately behind the house is a mostly walled
garden with lawn and borders planted with shrubs and flowering plants
including a superb Magnolia. The Barn is has a lovely and light open plan
living room, stone floor and vaulted ceiling with roof trusses. There is a log
burning stove, kitchen area with integrated appliances, bathroom and a
staircase leads to a gallery bedroom. There are three store rooms and a boiler
room. On the opposite side is a five bay open barn/carport with log store. One
bay is fitted with an electric charger. From this parking area central steps
in a Parterre garden lead up to mixed apple orchard/paddock.
The Long Room, converted from a barn, has planning consent for use as a
holiday let. Alternatively, it makes an ideal party room, potential cinema, or
gym. The Long Room has been finished to a high standard and has an open plan
living room/bedroom with a vaulted ceiling with four roof trusses, three
French doors opening to the south, log burning stove and a stone floor with
under floor heating and shower room. A kitchen is fitted with a Rangemaster
cooker and there is a utility room. Outside, is a Parterre garden with block
paving as well as a gated lean to with workshop and store. Adjoining is a
modern 50 ft x 80ft agricultural barn.
