The Grange


The Grange stands proud and enjoys an enviable position set in grounds of just under one acre. This splendid four storey Victorian family home dates back to 1880. It is simply stunning and oozes period charm.

The present owners have lovingly completed an extensive program of sympathetic renovation, returning this stunning house to its former glory. There is a two bedroomed self-contained Annexe, which provides flexible accommodation; ideal for grandparents, teenagers or guests, or equally suited to a home office or gym.

From the moment you walk through the front door it feels like a country home. The stained-glass vestibule door dapples the Hallway with hues of reds, greens and blues. Immediately you feel a sense of grandeur with the high ceilings, cornicing, picture rails, sash windows and period fireplaces.

The Ground Floor Living is a mix of large open spaces and formal rooms each beautifully decorated. Beyond the Kitchen, lies an alfresco Dining Area and Herb Garden. The fruit/vegetable garden is a haven for green fingered buyers.

The showstopper is the Living Kitchen. This is the beating heart of this home; a superb space, perfect for the whole family to be together doing their own thing or entertaining with friends.

The Orangery is perfectly placed to the side of the Kitchen. We can imagine sitting having some quiet time reading the Sunday papers overlooking the garden terrace.

The impressive Victorian U-turned staircase leads to 5 Double Bedrooms, two Ensuites and a House Bathroom. Each is wonderfully light and exudes elegance.

The Master Bedroom Suite, reached via a private staircase and corridor includes a generous Dressing Room and contemporary Ensuite with further stairs leading to the top of the house. To the right is a tranquil Meditation Room, to the left there is plenty of easily accessible loft space.

Outside, the grounds are equally spectacular. Wrought iron gates open to the tree-lined, gravelled driveway with space for numerous cars.

The meticulously maintained Gardens frame the house beautifully. Mature trees underplanted with herbaceous perennials in well-stocked borders bring abundant wildlife and bird song.
