The home at a glance

Crews Court carries a wealth of chic yet rustic features and the stylish sitting room is a particularly handsome expanse; it is presented in a classically neutral colour palette, and carries a myriad of lovely details, including a timbered ceiling, an ornate cream cast iron fireplace with a stone hearth, stripped and toned wooden floorboards, original built-in cupboards with display shelving, and a sash window with original shutters. The snug, a cosy, dual-aspect space, is found beyond the sitting room and this is also decorated in neutral tones. Leading off the main sitting room is the garden room. Plenty of light cascades into this space and a door leads outside to a patio, which presents one with an excellent spot to absorb the delightful garden. The dual-aspect dining room carries a red tiled floor and sash windows with louvered shutters. A step up from here leads into the charming country kitchen, which includes an oil fired Rayburn, as well as muted, soft 'duck-egg' shaker-style units with quartz worktops and pewter handles. There is also an integrated dishwasher, a Belfast sink and a central island, offering additional space for food preparation and informal dining. The kitchen flows into a utility room which gives additional storage, with full-height built-in cupboards and base units, an additional sink and space for a washing machine and a fridge/freezer. Beyond here, there is a boiler room, which houses a Worcester boiler.
Also on the ground floor, there is a study, complete with fitted shelving, and a cloakroom, which contains a two-piece white suite. A set of stone steps tucked behind a door in the entrance hall wind down to the cellar. A great space made up of two rooms with windows to let the light pour in. This could be ideally suited as a studio, games room or gym.

The first-floor houses three spacious double bedrooms, two of which have built-in wardrobes. There are also two bathrooms, both fitted with a three-piece white suite. The top floor of the home includes two more double bedrooms, both of which boast apex ceilings and built-in wardrobes.
The great outdoors
The front of Crews Court is flanked with low feature walling and mature hedging to create additional privacy, and a wrought iron gate leads onto the low-maintenance front garden.
The formal rear garden features a level lawn with mature trees, and this is beautifully bordered by an abundance of flowers and shrubs. A path meanders around the grounds, journeying to a flagstone patio, as well as a greenhouse which has a stone base and compost area.
Beyond the greenhouse a gravel parking area for 3-4 cars can be found. Which is accessed via the adjacent lane. Beyond the parking area is approximately 1⁄4 acre paddock would be ideally suited to those who are looking to keep chickens, sheep, or goats, but the land also serves as a great spot to simply enjoy the tranquillity of the setting.
The double garage has a roller shutter door, power, and light. The stone barn, currently utilised as a capacious storage space, could be converted into an annexe either for multi-generational living or for a holiday rental property. (Please note that one would need to explore the necessary planning permission possibilities in order to put this into motion.)
