Herridge House is the stunning end wing of a beautiful Grade II Listed building, originally constructed circa 1835 as a hospital / convalescing retreat. Approached via a sweeping drive which is flanked by two gatehouses, the property has been substantially improved by the current owners over the 20 years they have happily lived here. It now presents itself as an impressive spacious home with a versatile layout to suit a growing family, or for those wishing to work comfortably from home. Another noted quality is the exquisite attention to detail, high level of presentation and the quality of finish. The accommodation is set over three floors with the main living space being on the ground and first floor. From the outside terrace there are steps which lead down to an extensive lower basement level which has been fully renovated and comprises of a gym, playroom, guest accommodation and home office - all further complemented by a kitchen and shower room! Also ideal for independent living. Once inside the property you will - in brief - find a lovely sitting room, formal dining room, modern kitchen with breakfast area, a superb orangery/garden room which has underfloor heating and air conditioning for all year use, plus you have pedestrian access into the double garage. Upstairs has 4 double bedrooms, an ensuite to bedroom 1 and a family bathroom. To the rear a stunning outlook greets you as you step out onto the sun terrace. The Southerly facing garden is of a good size, very private, beautifully tended and leads directly onto the fields which sweep across the rear and disappear into the distance. There is also a Gazebo, carefully positioned to catch the last of the afternoon sun as you reflect on the day with a glass of wine ... or two.
