Crocory House was built between 1900 -1911 and creatively extended to the rear and front in 2012. Private, west-facing rear gardens were redesigned and landscaped in 2013 and incorporate a useful modern summer house and access to the garage.
Immaculately presented accommodation is well laid out over two floors providing good flexibility and a balanced blend of attractive period and modern features.
The ground floor accommodation comprises an enclosed entrance porch, a reception hall with a staircase leading to the first-floor level, a dual aspect sitting room with a woodburning stove and study area, a principal reception room connecting to an impressive and an extensively glazed open-plan kitchen/dining room with a Zinc roof and an overhang canopy. The bespoke kitchen with granite working surfaces provides a range of integrated appliances and a walk-in pantry. The dining area has tri-folding doors opening to the garden. A utility room and wet room complete the ground floor level.
Upstairs, a broad landing area leads to the extensive principal bedroom suite with attractive feature windows on two aspects and an ensuite bathroom. There are two further bedrooms and a spacious bathroom suite on this level.
Outside, gated gravelled frontage with mature trees and shrubs provides a large parking area and access to the garage. The rear garden has a west-facing aspect and is predominately laid to paving with raised borders well-stocked with various established plants and shrubs. A modern summer house provides shelter and storage options and there is rear access to the garage.
