Description
Handley Green House is constructed of a timber frame with rendered elevations under a tiled roof. The accommodation has been orientated so that the kitchen, dining room and principal bedrooms are at the rear of the property, enjoying the views over the neighbouring country. There are some attractive period features including an exposed timber frame and open fireplaces. The contrasting contemporary kitchen has been extended in a modern style with glazed lanterns and bi-folding doors, leading directly onto the terrace and providing views to the rear.
The property occupies a generous plot with a neighbouring farmstead to one side and a recently completed contemporary barn to the other.
An entrance vestibule also serves as a boot room with a door into a spacious hallway finished with a clay-tiled floor and including a fine wide-tread staircase to the first floor. A mezzanine level gives access to a cloakroom and WC. Situated at the front of the property, open plan to the hall is a beautiful living room highlighting the origins of the property with some lovely exposed timber frame, oak floor boards and a fireplace with a log burner. Adjacent is a cosy sitting room, again with an open fireplace. At the far end of the house is a separate dining room or home office which includes some exposed timber frame and red-brick fireplace with serving hatch into the kitchen. At the heart of the property is a beautifully appointed kitchen/dining room extending 26 ft x 17ft finished with a range of grey-toned Shaker-style units with contrasting marble-style work surfaces and incorporating an AGA with units wrapped around a substantial island with butler sink. The kitchen is open plan to a dining area - a lovely light-filled room with bi-folding doors onto the terrace with additional lighting through twin skylights. Adjoining is a large boot room and walk-in pantry and on the opposite side is a utility room with sink and door to the exterior.
On the first floor there are four or five bedrooms (one is utilised as a dressing room). The principal bedroom with large en suite features a lovely panelled vaulted ceiling and the window overlooks the grounds and countryside beyond. Adjacent is a large en suite bathroom, recently fitted, and beyond an interconnecting dressing room. There are three further bedrooms on the front elevation and a family shower room.
