Description

Three Springs House is a unique detached family home situated in an idyllic position affording fantastic views across surrounding open countryside.

The property was imaginatively extended and reconfigured by the current vendors in the early 2000's and now offers generously proportioned characterful accommodation. It is evident that great care and consideration were given in the extensive schedule of works that were carried out with much thought and inspiration going into the design. The property boasts a number of noteworthy features including an impressive display of oak joinery with a bespoke made entrance door, sweeping staircase, oak flooring in the reception hall and drawing room and exposed ceiling beams.

Predominantly double glazed, the accommodation at ground floor level is arranged with a reception hall, drawing room with feature inglenook fireplace, breakfast kitchen, conservatory, formal dining room and utility room. On the first floor a galleried landing leads a master suite with a dressing room and en suite shower room, four further bedrooms, family bathroom and a separate shower room.

In addition to the main accommodation, there is a detached self contained barn, which would be ideal for a dependant relative or as a potential source of additional income (subject to planning). The barn comprises a double bedroom, bathroom, kitchen and living room.

A great strength of Three Springs House is its delightful position, sitting in the heart of unspoilt countryside taking full advantage of its unrivalled east through south to the west aspect. The property is approached by a sweeping driveway and leads to an area of parking with a triple bay open garage.
