Description
This charming family home, known as Riddiford House, has been meticulously restored and updated to maintain its 17th-century origins while providing modern comforts. The property boasts a sweeping circular driveway, electronic gates, and a beautifully manicured lawn, setting the tone for the stunning interior. The welcoming reception hall features a flagstone floor, impressive inglenook fireplace, and natural light pouring in from the large windows. The sitting/dining room is a highlight, with a natural divide creating two distinct areas, a large stone-faced inglenook fireplace, and a window seat overlooking the front lawn. The property also features a study, music room, and wrap-around conservatory/orangery, perfect for relaxing and enjoying the natural surroundings. The kitchen is equipped with a range of appliances, including a Stanley 'Aga' style double oven range, and the property also boasts a boot room, laundry room, and utility room. The sellers, a retired army couple, have lovingly restored the property over the past 30 years, creating a truly unique and magical home. The property's extensive grounds feature a 2-acre wood, Claire's Copse, a vegetable garden, and a BBQ area, providing a peaceful and serene atmosphere.
