Circa 1.3 acre mature garden with pond and woodland
Ledge House is a very spacious, individually designed family home set in about 1.3 acres of mature, private gardens with far-reaching valley views. The house offers flexible accommodation over three floors, including a large lower-ground bedroom with kitchenette and shower room that could serve as a self-contained annexe, guest suite or holiday let. A 25ft triple-aspect drawing/dining room with bay window and open fireplace, a country-style kitchen with AGA, large conservatory and double garage add practical family living and entertaining spaces.
The property is geared to family life and multi-generation use: six main double bedrooms on the first floor, the principal bedroom with a large en suite, plus further bathrooms and useful utility space. Outside there are extensive lawns, colourful borders, a nature pond, triangular woodland and a productive vegetable garden reached via a long gated drive. Nearby villages provide everyday amenities and good schools; mainline rail links to London are within reasonable driving distance.
Notable negatives are factual: heating is oil-fired with a boiler and radiators (not a communal system), drainage is private, and broadband speeds in the area are reported as very slow—important for home-working. The house has solid brick walls (assumed no cavity insulation) so buyers should expect potential energy-efficiency improvements. Council Tax is in a high band. These are practical matters to budget for alongside any cosmetic updating you may choose to undertake.
