Originally comprising two cottages, the property has been thoughtfully extended and renovated over the past 25 years, successfully combining period character with comfortable, modern family living. The house is approached via a gravel driveway providing ample parking and opens into a welcoming reception hall, where original tessellated tiled flooring provides an immediate sense of character. The ground floor offers three well-proportioned reception rooms, each enjoying views across the gardens and surrounding countryside. Features include a wood-burning stove, open fireplace and original feature fireplace, creating warm and inviting spaces for both family life and entertaining. At the heart of the home is a superb bespoke kitchen and dining room, with French doors opening directly onto the stone terrace and gardens beyond. The ground floor is further complemented by a cloakroom, boot room and useful pantry. Upstairs, there are five bedrooms, comprising a nursery/office, three generous double bedrooms and a principal bedroom with built-in wardrobes and an en suite shower room. A further family bathroom serves the remaining bedrooms. The gardens are a particular feature of Phoenix House, offering an exceptional degree of privacy and tranquillity. Expansive lawns are framed by mature planting, with an established orchard including apple trees, picturesque pond, raised kitchen garden and stone terrace providing a variety of attractive spaces in which to relax and entertain. A timber store and double garage complete the grounds.
