THE ACCOMMODATION
Internally, Linden House offers generous and highly flexible accommodation arranged around beautifully proportioned rooms with a wealth of period detail. The principal entrance hall provides an impressive arrival, with tiled flooring, high ceilings, an arched doorway and an immediate sense of character. The ground floor includes a formal drawing room with decorative cornicing, ceiling rose and fireplace, together with a further sitting room and an excellent garden room, which enjoys extensive glazing, roof lanterns and direct access onto the terrace and gardens.

The kitchen is fitted in a classic style with cream cabinetry, dark work surfaces, colourful tiled detailing and a range cooker, with a separate utility room positioned nearby. A formal dining room provides an elegant entertaining space, while the breakfast room and adjoining sitting areas create a more relaxed everyday family arrangement.

One of the key strengths of the property is its self-contained ground floor annexe, which we understand has never been used as a separate unit. This provides excellent flexibility for dependent relatives, guests, older children, home working or possible income use, subject to any necessary consents.
To the first floor, the principal bedroom enjoys a dressing room and beautifully appointed en suite bathroom, with a roll-top bath, twin basin and period-style fittings. A further bedroom also benefits from en suite facilities, while the remaining accommodation is served by a Jack and Jill style family bathroom. There is also a useful study, ideal for working from home.

The property is further enhanced by extensive garaging, a carport, solar panels with battery storage and a versatile first-floor studio space above the garage.

The gardens and grounds are a defining feature of Linden House, extending to approximately one acre and providing a mature, beautifully established setting. The grounds include formal lawns, specimen trees, clipped hedging, planted borders, productive garden areas, greenhouse, meadow-style planting and sheltered seating spaces.
