Description
This charming family home, Riddiford House, has been lovingly restored and updated over the past 30 years by its current owners, who have meticulously preserved its original 17th-century features while incorporating modern amenities. The property boasts a sweeping circular driveway, electronic gates, and a park-like garden with over 1,000 trees, including a magical copse named after one of the vendors. Inside, the home features a welcoming reception hall with a flagstone floor, inglenook fireplace, and impressive timber mantel. The sitting/dining room is a natural divide, with a large stone-faced inglenook fireplace and raised hearth. The property also includes a study, music room, wrap-around conservatory/orangery, internal cellar room, and a large cloak/shower room. The kitchen is equipped with a range of appliances, including a Stanley 'Aga' style double oven range, and leads to a boot room, porch, and laundry room. The property's grounds are a haven for wildlife, with a 2-acre wood, vegetable garden, and five large vegetable beds, as well as a BBQ area and lakes. The owners have put their heart and soul into restoring this beautiful home, and it is now ready for a new family to make their own memories.
