Set behind a gated courtyard on Gardeners Hill Road, this handsome period house offers generous family accommodation across more than 5,500 sq ft and circa five acres of south-facing gardens and woodland. Originally a coach house, the property combines formal reception rooms, a garden room opening to a practical kitchen, and a large private study—well suited to family life and home working. The walled garden houses two large period greenhouses and useful potting sheds, while substantial garages, workshop and stores provide versatile outbuildings and parking.
The five bedrooms and three bath/shower rooms sit across the upper floors; principal rooms feature period proportions and an impressive façade. The site’s size and layout create clear potential for extensions, landscaping projects, or ancillary accommodation (subject to consents). For buyers wanting privacy and outdoor space, the mature formal gardens and adjoining woodland are standout assets, offering scope for seasonal planting, family play areas and leisure.
Buyers should note a few material considerations: the house is of solid brick construction with no assumed cavity insulation and dates from around 1800, so upgrading thermal performance may be needed. Broadband speeds are very slow and there is no mobile signal on site, which could affect remote working until improved. The period greenhouses and extensive grounds will require ongoing maintenance. Overall, this is a substantial, characterful family home where sensible investment will enhance comfort and efficiency.
