Barcroft

Barcroft was originally a pair of cottages on the neighbouring Stoke Edith Estate that, many years ago, were converted into one lovely house.
The property has recently been refurbished to a truly exceptional standard including an abundance of Travertine flooring, bespoke oak double-glazed windows, along with recessed spotlights.
The sitting room has French windows to the terrace as well as a log-burner set within the chimney breast.
The study has a range of built-in cupboards, drawers and desks and the kitchen is quite superb with 4-oven oil-fired Aga set in a bespoke unit with a double Belfast sink and granite work surfaces, decorative tile surround and a continuation of the tiled floor.
The utility room has further units with a boiler room beyond housing a Worcester oil-fired boiler.
There is a cloakroom with shower and a stable door to the outside.

Barcroft, continued

Upstairs there is a long light landing with extensive cupboard space, exposed beams and doors off to the four bedrooms and bathroom.
The principal bedroom has a lovely view out over the gardens and an en-suite shower room with tiles walls and floors. Bedrooms 2 and 3 are equally well-proportioned with pleasant views out, whilst the large family bathroom is exceptionally well finished.

The Outside

The property is surrounded by rolling countryside and woodland in a quiet, semi-rural location.
The gardens are principally south-facing and run from the flagstone terrace past richly stocked herbaceous beds to extensive lawns dotted with mature shrubs and plants, flanked by Beech hedgerows.
An enclosed orchard has a separate entrance to the drive and the hard tennis court.
There is an impressive kitchen garden flanking the brook with various beds and trellising housing the oil tank.
Behind a stone wall and box hedging is an enclosed garden with brick and stone tool shed.
A flagstone patch leads around the house to the gravel parking area, a tool shed and the double garage with electric doors and a log store to one end.
Close to the hedged boundary with the lane is a copse with Beech, Oak and Silver Birch.
