The Property
The Old Surgery is a handsome Victorian property believed to have been built in the early to mid-1800s whilst displaying Georgian architectural design. The property has been extended in recent years and renovated to a particularly high specification and finish throughout whilst retaining period features including internal four panel pitched pine doors, deep skirting boards, dado rails and open fireplaces.

The Accommodation
A particularly attractive panelled door with lead lights opens into a central reception hall with access to a ground floor cloakroom. The principal reception room sits to the front of the property
offering elegant and spacious entertaining space, featuring a cast iron open fireplace within a painted ornate stone surround.

The room also benefits from exposed polished floorboards and replacement hardwood double glazed sash windows to the front elevation, one having original shutters.

Across the hallway is a charming sitting room with a fireplace recess with quarry tiled hearth, flanked by bespoke fitted oak cupboards to either recess. This room also features replacement double glazed sash windows with original pitched
pine shutters. Folding glazed wooden doors open into a well-proportioned dining room, forming a wonderful entertaining space. The dining room has French doors to the rear garden and
an enchanting door in the floor gives access to a substantial cellar, ideal as a wine cellar. To the rear of the house, with views to the gardens, is a large kitchen with breakfast area. The kitchen is fitted
with a comprehensive range of shaker style cabinets under oak Block work surfaces. The focal point of the kitchen is a Rangemaster double oven with extractor hood over. Additional
Appliances include a Neff integral dishwasher, a ceramic single drainer sink unit and space for a freestanding American style fridge freezer. The kitchen conveniently links to the lounge and a
further stable door giving access to an enclosed rear porch.

An elegant spindle staircase, with polished pitched pine handrail and newel posts, rises to a spacious first floor landing giving access to three of the property’s bedrooms, all featuring original
cast iron fire surrounds. The principal bedroom benefits from an en suite shower room with traditional white suite. A first-floor family bathroom features a freestanding claw foot bath, a corner shower cubicle with thermostatic shower, low level WC and pedestal wash hand basin.

A spindle staircase rises to a spacious second floor landing giving access to two double bedrooms of equal size having vaulted ceilings and substantial eaves storage. Where required
one of the bedrooms could be adapted to provide additional bathroom facilities.
