Sellers insight

18 years ago as I walked along the curving drive and saw The Cider House, it was love at first sight! The attractive exterior with unusual French style turret was so unusual I couldn’t wait to explore inside.

This house is quirky and full of surprises! I love this house, it has an atmosphere of warmth and friendliness. On the ground floor the ample space of the farmhouse style kitchen/diner and the large sitting room overlooking the garden is used frequently for social occasions.

Upstairs from the large bedrooms to the comfortable study/ withdrawal room and wrought iron balcony with stunning views of the garden and surrounding countryside, there is so much character.

The location is second to none situated in the centre of the village and close to our popular family run village pub. Set back from the road, many visitors comment on the peaceful quietness and birdsong.

The gardens are based on cottage garden design, with trees, shrubs and mainly perennial flowers such as cowslip, hellebores and snowdrops in the spring, to foxgloves, delphinium, roses, geranium, etc. Which attract a multitude of pollinating insects. Wildlife finds a quiet haven here attracted to the vegetation and two large ponds connected by a waterfall. The summerhouse is frequently used and is so cosy. Frequently walking in this area, the country lanes, farm tracks and nearby Grand

Gothic-style arched doors open into the spacious sitting room, where large oak-framed double-glazed windows beautifully frame the garden, filling the room with natural light.

Although set in the heart of the village beside the local pub, The Cider House offers remarkable seclusion and privacy, thanks to its beautifully landscaped, enclosed gardens. Designed to provide year-round interest, the gardens feature sweeping lawns, a wide variety of mature shrubs, trees, and flowering borders. The apple trees are believed to be an original from the property’s cider-making days.

A wooden summerhouse enjoys views over a two-tier pond with a water feature, while a greenhouse and potting shed offer practical space for gardeners. To the front of the property, a semi-circular shingled area creates a wonderful spot for outdoor entertaining. A long private driveway leads to the garage, which includes a workshop area, remote-controlled door, and EV charging point
