Description
Occupying a private and central village location, Asby House is a generous stone built property that has been home to the current owners for fourteen years. Approached over a gated driveway, a generous entrance hall provides access to the sitting room and kitchen whilst stairs from here ascend to the first floor. Oak flooring extends in to the sitting room which has an open fireplace with stone surround and hearth and French doors that open in to a generous conservatory. In addition to this there is a comfortable triple aspect dining room situated adjacent the kitchen/family room.
At the heart of the house, the kitchen/family room has tumbled limestone flooring and features a bespoke installation by Salcey Cabinetmakers. Pippy oak cabinets are topped with Corian work surfaces and an eye catching painted circular cabinet is topped with oak. Other storage solutions include glazed display cabinets and a larder cupboard. Quality integrated appliances include a Fisher Paykel dishwasher, Liebherr drawer fridge and Miele fridge/freezer. There is a four oven Aga (two oil and two electric) with a bottled gas hob.
A separate utility room has additional wall and base units, a Belfast sink and space for white goods. There is access to the conservatory from here as well as a door to a tiled cloakroom with white sanitary ware.
The property boasts five bedrooms able to be accessed by independent staircases. The principle bedroom has a dressing area and en suite as well as a balcony with spiral staircase that leads to the garden. Two guest bedrooms have their own en suite facilities with the third having a walk in wardrobe. The family bathroom is fitted with white sanitary ware and has a Tueco Jacuzzi bath. A concealed door from here provides access between bedrooms.
Separate to the main house is a detached stone built cottage with open plan kitchen/dining/living room, two bedrooms and a shower room. The sitting room has oak flooring, an open fireplace with stone surround and French doors that open on to a paved seating area. The kitchen area is tiled and has wall and base units, a Belfast sink and space for white goods. The two double bedrooms both have built in storage and sit aside a well appointed shower room. This space would be ideal for housing a relative or could prove a great source of additional income via Air B&B or similar.
The mature gardens face south and are mainly laid to lawn, interspersed with fruit trees. Deep borders are stocked with a variety of plants and shrubs that provide interest all year round. A line of beech hedging separates the lawn from a productive kitchen garden which has raised beds and red brick pathways. There is a colourful cottage garden and York stone seating area adjacent the cottage whilst immediately adjacent the main house is a paved seating area and heating swimming pool. A large raised deck is ideal for entertaining and has steps to the pool side.
To the front of the property, electric gates provide access to a gravel driveway. This extends to the side of the house and is lit with low level lighting. Beyond the cottage is a tool room, a double garage, covered car port, stable and stores. These spaces all have power and lighting and prove useful storage solutions for vehicles and garden equipment.
