Description
Vine House is a beautiful, late 18th century family home that is unlisted.
Built of stone with Collyweston slate roof, the current vendors lovingly
restored the property over 8 years, installing underfloor heating to the
kitchen-living-dining area and updating all the electrics and plumbing
throughout. To the front of the property are double glazed, sash windows
and cast iron radiators established on the ground floor.
Vine House is entered via the red, tiled porch. Light through the glass
panelled doors contributes to a bright, wide reception hall. Immediately at
your feet is access to a large cellar. To the left of the reception hall is the
drawing room with log burner focal point, built in storage either side of the
fireplace and large understairs cupboard. Original shutters adorn the
windows which enjoy front aspect over the garden. Opposite the drawing
room is the dining room, again with feature fireplace, original shutters and
views across the front. As the hallway of stone effect porcelain tiles draws
you further into the property, there is a boot room to the right with bespoke,
built-in storage.
Through double glass doors, is the stunning kitchen-living-dining area
complete with lantern roof and French doors onto the dining terrace with
views across the rear garden and grounds. Truly the heart of the home, the
open plan layout offers a delightfully social environment between the sitting
room and the kitchen, ideal for entertaining. Exposed beams and stone walls
combined with engineered oak wooden flooring and floor to ceiling windows
provides a perfect blend of period and modern features. The focal point of
the sitting room is the beautiful, brick fireplace with log burner and in the
2014/2015 extension, the kitchen is a bespoke installation by a local builder,
whose work features predominantly throughout the family home.
Comprising; central island with incorporated sink and plug sockets,
Insinkerator waste disposal, space for a range style cooker and other
integrated appliances the ingenuity of the kitchen design provides ample
storage and preparation space.
The East wing on the ground floor has an array of period features from
exposed beams to the original stove and bread oven located in the snug.
There is a downstairs WC and useful utility room with built in storage and
Belfast sink.
The vaulted barn conversion completes the ground floor accommodation with
panoramic window with views over the tennis court. Side double doors lead
to the formal lawn and there is a large storage room with plumbing to install
a WC, offering potential to become an annexe.
Stairs arise under a semi-lantern roof, flooding the reception hall
and landing with natural light. To the front of the property is the
Principal suite with dual aspect and bespoke built in wardrobes. The
ensuite features a double sized, rain head shower. A further double
bedroom with ensuite shower room and built in storage enjoys front
aspect views across the landscaped garden.
Passing the linen cupboard, along the hallway are two double
bedrooms separated by a large family bathroom with roll top bath
and large shower. At the end of the wing, with vaulted ceiling and
views across the rear grounds, is a double bedroom completing the
first floor accommodation of this delightful family home.
OUTSIDE
Vine House is set back from the road by a large gravel driveway and
landscaped front garden. To the right of the property is a double
garage with storage and a side gate to the rear grounds.
Entering through the side gate you pass a useful woodstore. The
pathway opens out onto a raised dining terrace of Indian sandstone
and Italian style, box hedging parterre. Stone steps lead down to
the formal lawn bordered by mature flowers beds and established
Portuguese laurel.
To the left hand side, a brick pathway aligned with lavender and
climbing roses, meanders down the formal garden. The path leads
to a seating area that enjoys the morning sunshine and a large,
enclosed, tennis court. Sweeping round to the bottom of the formal
lawn is the summer house complete with cold water sink and fridge,
behind which is the Scott’s stable and tack room. There is a further
seating area benefitting from the evening sun.
Through the walled garden are three paddocks with feeding water
troughs and gated access to the main road. There is also room for
an array of equestrian vehicles next to the paddocks. Beyond the
paddocks is rolling countryside with easy access to great riding
country in the area.
