Accommodation

Ground Floor
The property is accessed via a series of steps leading to the entrance door, opening into a grand reception hall that exudes character with its Inglenook fireplace and high ceilings, a feature consistent throughout the principal living areas.

Two generously proportioned reception rooms sit either side of the hallway, each featuring solid-fuel burners and charming exposed beams. These spaces flow seamlessly into the heart of the home—the kitchen.

The kitchen is a bright and inviting space, enhanced by natural light from the adjoining orangery. Key features include a substantial feature island, a walk-in pantry, and an inset solid-fuel burner. The orangery, with its vaulted ceiling, skylights, and expansive glazing, offers panoramic views of the beautifully maintained garden and provides a delightful space for informal dining or relaxation.

Additional accommodation on this level includes a boot room and playroom, accessible via steps from the kitchen. This area also provides access to the converted cellar, offering a wealth of potential as additional living or storage space.

First Floor
The first floor is accessed via a staircase from the reception hall and features a landing window, filling the space with natural light. This level comprises four/five well-appointed bedrooms, including the principal suite with an en-suite shower room. A spacious family bathroom serves the remaining bedrooms.

The rear-aspect bedrooms and bathroom offer elevated views over the landscaped gardens and a seasonal view of the nearby Church, providing a picturesque backdrop.

Second Floor
The second floor, thoughtfully converted by the current owners, provides two highly flexible rooms, ideal as additional bedrooms, a home office, or studio spaces. One of the rooms benefits from a separate family bathroom, while both enjoy exposed beams and a generously sized walk-in storage area.

Gardens and Grounds

The landscaped gardens are a defining feature of Bull House. Enclosed by high walls, the grounds offer privacy and tranquility, featuring raised vegetable beds, a sweeping lawn with mature borders, and formal box hedging. A large terrace provides an ideal setting for outdoor entertaining.

Secure timber gates open onto a shingle driveway leading to the detached cart lodge, which includes a single garage.
