DESCRIPTION
Paternoster House is a beautifully renovated period home, perfectly positioned on the edge of the village. This property showcases typical features associated with its era, such as ornate fireplaces, dado rails, and wooden floors, well paired with modern fixtures and fittings. While it captivates with its picturesque charm on the surface, significant behind-the-scenes work has also been completed, including new floor insulation and damp-proofing during its renovation. The main dwelling provides spacious accommodation, with inviting reception rooms overlooking the property s charming grounds and the scenic surrounding countryside. With five double bedrooms, the property offers an ideal balance for family living. The extensive garden and grounds, spanning over an acre, include a formal garden with a level lawn and vibrant plantings, a productive walled kitchen garden, informal lawns, and various outbuildings.
PRINCIPLE DWELLING
The ground floor offers three generously sized reception rooms, a kitchen/breakfast room with an adjoining utility room, pantry, and cloakroom. On the first floor are five double bedrooms, including the principal bedroom with an en suite bathroom. Three of the bedrooms feature built-in storage, and there is also a family bathroom on this level.
ANNEXE
The self-contained annexe provides useful additional accommodation for family members, or for potential use as a holiday let. It includes an open-plan kitchen/sitting room, one double bedroom and a shower room.
GARDENS & GROUNDS
The gardens of Paternoster House extend to about an acre, beautifully complementing the character of the home with a variety of spaces for enjoyment. The walled garden features expansive, well-kept lawns, bordered by vibrant flowerbeds, hedgerows, and mature trees.
