The 2.5 acre site originally contained a mill and a house owned by the Odlum family.

The current property is a completely renovated version of one built by Odlums for its director, John Scott and his wife Betty, in the '70s.

The charming 2,200sq ft house is surrounded by landscaped gardens. An 8ft stone wall separates the stableyard from the residence. Two doorways within the ivy-clad walls open into walled gardens with fruit trees, ornamental hedging, herb gardens and green houses. They also provide access to the yard with seven working stables with adjoining tack rooms, storage and fuel stores. Another driveway diverges from the main approach to the yard.

The current owners created a character-filled home with two reception rooms including dual-aspect dining room, kitchen and utility room; study, and four bedrooms. The tone is set in the spacious entrance hall with its Junkers flooring, painted timber ceilings, coving and brass venting set into the floor, with underfloor heating emanating. Two Georgian-style windows offer front garden views and arches lead into the living and sleeping quarters.

A green Aga oil cooker is the focal point in the cosy kitchen which has handpainted cream-fitted units.

The utility room provides rear garden access. The living room is an inviting space with pitch pine flooring, a cast-iron fireplace with pine mantle and wrought-iron insert with gas fire on a tiled hearth. Fitted bookcases are located both sides of the fireplace.

The drawing/dining room exudes warmth with its sandstone fireplace surround with wrought-iron basket, and half timber paneling, offset with integrated radiator cabinets.

A bay window with seated area and double doors open onto the lovely lawns.

The dormer attic was opened fully with Velux windows letting the light into this open-plan study space, integrating the staircase to the hallway.

The master bedroom is a serene space with separate dressing area and en-suite with Jacuzzi bath. A sweet slipper bath graces the bathroom with its pitch pine floor, wood panelled walls and equestrian themed blinds.

Exuding an easy charm, the property would make for either a restful retreat or a working-from-home wonder.
