The impressive approach from Main Street to the house is through the pillared 18th Century iron Grade II Listed gateway, and a pleached hedge, surrounded by a three-brick walled garden along the brick lined path, two hand railed flights of stone steps leading you to the panelled double front doors set in the classic Queen Anne style façade. Access to a generous drive is via Broomhills Lane where there is the advantage of a good size brick walled car port and substantial parking area. There is a second entrance with potential for additional parking towards the rear of the house.

Panelled double timber front doors open into an impressive character reception hall setting the tone for this stunning home having a bordered tiled floor running through. The historic broad panelled string staircase with carved balustrade gently rises off to the first floor.

To the right is a charming dining room, original panelling with a glazed period Queen Anne China cabinet, Adam style fireplace and original recessed windows with window seats framing views to the front. Across the hall is a cosy sitting room with two similar shuttered windows, a marble fire surround housing an open fire framed by a classic Adam period display alcove on one side and a folding panel door recess with adjustable shelving accessing flexible storage for audio visual entertainment devices on the other side. Part panelled walls and a ceiling beam add a character feel.

From the sitting room the shelf lined home office/study with original stone fireplace and a side window lead to the heart of the house which is a lovely farmhouse style kitchen/diner having a large inglenook fireplace with a traditional style cast iron stove. This is a fabulous room for families and entertaining allowing plenty of room for a large dining table and seating alongside fitted cupboards, space for appliances together with windows framing garden views and high ceilings enhancing the feeling of space.

The conservatory offers a lovely light seating area to enjoy attractive views of the garden and forms a hub linking the kitchen, hall, utility/pantry, guest WC and garden room. Off the utility room is a large glazed enclosed games/work area with stairs down to the cellar.

Entered from the conservatory is a prestigious garden room of substantial proportions with high ceilings and French doors and a seated bay window with views to the rear gardens. This is a room for entertaining and large family events.

The staircase from the hall leads to a feature mezzanine looking out to the rear garden and up to the first-floor landing, which has doors leading off to three of the seven bedrooms and a separate shower room with WC. The principal bedroom on this floor is a generous double with a fireplace, part panelled walls, fitted storage and sash windows with window seats framing views to the front. Leading off is a spacious en-suite with a modern suite comprising a large shower with glazed screen.

The second bedroom is an attractive part panelled double guest room with a fireplace and views to front. The third bedroom on this floor is a light double enjoying a dual aspect and a wash basin.

The second-floor features four more good sized bedrooms, all with views plus a good size family bathroom.

Access to the attic is from an enclosed staircase from the second-floor landing leading to an open upper area with one third solid floor.

The Grange stands on a wonderful large established garden plot with paved stone pathways and a terrace ideal for outside dining, water features, mature borders, planting beds, trees and hedging encompassing multiple distinctive formal and informal areas all of which complement the period house.

The current owners intend to retain the plot of land beyond the post and rail fence – refer to site plan. However, the owners would be happy to negotiate separately for this land should a buyer be interested.
