Outside

Bluebells is approached from the lane via a gravel drive which opens to parking areas to the front of the house and to the side of the annexe. The newly converted annexe comprises a separate front door to a hallway and ground floor shower room with stairs to first floor bedroom with eaves storage. There are approved building regulations drawings to further convert the ground floor garage space into an open plan living space within the annexe.

The house is surrounded by the formal garden which is cleverly landscaped to provide areas of lawn, terraces to sit and enjoy the views and borders planted with a variety of perennial plants and shrubs. Privacy is provided by mature trees and hedging but allows for the beautiful far-reaching views to be enjoyed. An old paddock, which is now under domestic curtilage, has recently been planted with a mixed orchard and wildflower meadow and it has planning permission to add a barn structure to this space. There is also ample room for a swimming pool or tennis court to be installed. Opposite the house is the substantial paddock with field shelter and a small tack/ATV storage barn. The paddock is fenced and supplied with water. A tree and Daffodil-lined grass pathway leads to the delightful area of mixed woodland, which is carpeted in native Bluebells in the Spring.

Bluebells is a beautiful house with approaching 10 acres of garden, a paddock and woodland which is a rare find in such a stunning location. To also have planning permission in place to enlarge and enhance the existing property presents a buyer with an incredible opportunity.
