5 Bedroom Country House

Spanning more than 2,300 sq. ft, Herbage beautifully preserves its historic soul and original architectural character.

The ground floor begins with a welcoming porch that leads into a spacious, L-shaped open-plan sitting room, highlighted by an inviting open fireplace and a classic bay window with views of the gardens. For those seeking a bright retreat, the expansive garden room offers a versatile year-round living space with French doors opening outside.

At the heart of the home is the kitchen/dining area, a standout feature designed for indoor-outdoor flow via French doors that lead directly onto a large terrace. The main level is rounded out by a private dedicated study and a practical utility room.

Moving upstairs, a generous full house width principal bedroom with built-in wardrobes and an ensuite with both a bathtub and a separate shower. There are then four further well-proportioned bedrooms, served by a family bathroom with bath and separate shower.

Privacy and convenience define the exterior, which is accessed through electric wooden gates. The driveway provides ample parking and a turning area, leading to a detached double garage complete with power, lighting, and overhead attic storage.

The walled garden serves as a private oasis with an expansive central lawn. An entertaining terrace specifically designed for al fresco dining, featuring a built-in BBQ along with lush landscaping with a variety of mature trees, shrubs, and ornamental plants.
