This exceptional five-bedroom family home is full of character and charm, it is set on a beautiful plot and was built in the 1930's by the renowned Frank Herbert Chown. It has superb potential to extend and reconfigure, subject to the usual consents.
You are instantly impressed as soon as you see Little Meads. To the front the large gravel carriage driveway provides plenty of parking and access to the detached garage with a covered car port to the rear which also makes for a delightful Al Fresco dining space.
Upon entering the welcoming front door, many of the rooms enjoy the warmth of the exposed joinery from the original era of build which include oak mullion windows with double glazed leaded light windows, characterful brick fireplaces and wood flooring to name but a few. The property has been cleverly extended over the years and to the ground floor there are a total of four reception rooms, one with a semi-vaulted ceiling, a generous sized kitchen/breakfast room and a large utility room which could easily be re-purposed as a family room, if so desired.
To the first floor there are five bedrooms, one of which enjoys a private balcony overlooking the gardens and two bathrooms, the largest of which has both a semi-vaulted ceiling and a Jack & Jill arrangement to the landing. The character continues on this floor with oriel/splay bays to two of the bedrooms and should one wish, there is also space for a third bath/shower room to be simply installed en-suite to the largest of the bedrooms.
The grounds extend to circa 0.4 acre in total. The rear gardens are beautifully laid out into a series of 'rooms' created by mature planting with terrace seating to the rear of the house, lawns dissected by a stone bridge over a small stream and a wonderful variety of trees and shrubs including fruit trees and boundary hedging for all year round privacy.
