Christmas House is a substantial non-listed property believed to date from 1850 with later additions. The accommodation is tastefully presented with light, spacious rooms and good ceiling heights over three floors. The house has a wonderful feel to it with a welcoming tiled hall with open fire and has a door leading into the south-facing garden.
There is a well-proportioned drawing room with a woodburning stove, exposed beams and an adjacent study. The attractive kitchen/breakfast room has an electric Aga and leads into a spacious garden room/playroom with vaulted ceiling and doors leading onto a sheltered terrace, ideal for outdoor entertaining.
The triple aspect main bedroom with bathroom and walk-in wardrobe has a Juliette balcony, which overlooks the pretty garden. There is a guest bedroom with walk-in wardrobe and bathroom, and two further bedrooms and a family bathroom. On the second floor there are two further bedrooms and an additional bathroom.
There is a fantastic separate office and hobbies room, which could be used as an annexe for guests or family members.
The property is approached via a sweeping gravel drive which leads to a parking area and double garage. The wonderful mature gardens are a major feature of the property and are incredibly private; they are mainly laid to lawn with a variety of trees, borders and box hedging.
A former outbuilding known as the Bake House has been converted and has been used as a home office, gym and cinema. There is a well to the front and secluded BBQ area with greenhouse and raised beds to the rear.
Beyond the estate fencing is a productive apple orchard and fruit cage. To the west of the house is a paddock.
