Description

Kennet Court has a wonderful period charm with the majority of windows having stone mullions, and there is a lovely inglenook fireplace in the snug. Externally the Cotswold stone tiled roof combined with the stone elevations gives it a super feel.

Entering the house from the driveway via the back door, you are welcomed into a very attractive country style kitchen/breakfast room with triple aspect affording both plenty of light and lovely views over the gardens. There is a good range of cream units and appliances include twin Siemens ovens, five-ring induction hob, dishwasher and space for an American style fridge.

The kitchen flows through to a cosy snug with lovely inglenook fireplace and wood burning stove.

This leads into the dining room which has the original front door out to the lane. A staircase takes you to the first floor. To your left you go through to find a sweet little desk area, ideal for use as a study. Opposite the study is a handy cloakroom.

Oak double doors lead you into the fine drawing room with French doors to the garden. The room is filled with light and has great views over the gardens. Centrally there is an attractive stone fireplace with fitted Jetmaster fire.

On the first floor there are three bedrooms, the largest being at the far end which incorporates its own bathroom with two further bedrooms and a shower room at the opposite end. A door on the landing leads through to a very long loft area, ideal for storage such as suitcases.

The annexe provides super extra accommodation for guests and can be used flexibly. On the ground floor is a double bedroom, kitchen, two utility rooms and a cloakroom. An independent door gives separate access (if needed) from the ground floor to upstairs where there is a further large double bedroom with ensuite bathroom.

At ground floor level as part of the annexe is a very good-sized double garage.

Externally
Double timber gates lead from Bathampton Lane into a charming courtyard style driveway, sufficient for a number of vehicles. The garage is then on your left hand side and in front of you is an attractive roofed log store. The gardens then open out and to the left side go down to a garden shed with sliding doors.

The gardens are really rather special. There are several apple trees, a plum tree, silver birch, yew and plenty of herbaceous and perennial plants. Nearer the house is a lovely stone terrace, a perfect spot to enjoy summer drinks.
