Constructed in the late 18th century of local honey-coloured ironstone, with a Stonesfield slate roof, this handsome Georgian coach house retains a strong sense of its historic character, with well-preserved architectural features within its elegant
symmetrical façade. Further enhancing its appeal are the beautifully considered contemporary interiors, thoughtfully designed by the current vendors, creating an exceptional home with meticulous attention to detail. The result is a seamless blend of period charm and modern living, perfectly in keeping with the excellent proportions and high ceilings typical of a property of this era. Tasteful neutral décor is complemented by engineered wood flooring throughout much of the property, while generous glazing floods the interior with natural light. All rooms benefit from a dual aspect, with far-reaching countryside views to the
rear.

The entrance hall creates a truly captivating first impression, with a striking tiled floor and elegant staircase.

The hall flows seamlessly into the sitting room, a versatile and thoughtfully zoned area, perfectly suited to both relaxation and entertaining, with a door opening onto the rear garden. The dining room provides further space for social gatherings and flows into the superb modern kitchen, which is exquisitely appointed with sleek contemporary cabinetry, complemented by granite worktops and elegant glass wall panelling. It is fully equipped with a range of integrated appliances, including a Fisher + Paykel fridge freezer, Bosch dishwasher and oven. The area is lit from above by a spectacular
roof light, while a door opens onto the garden terrace, extending the living space outdoors.
The stunning staircase rises to the upper floor, where an impressive galleried landing provides versatile space and access to the principal bedroom, which benefits from fitted wardrobes
and a smart en suite shower room. A further guest bedroom is accessed via a short flight of steps. A beautifully presented family bathroom, featuring an elegant contemporary bathtub, completes the accommodation on this floor. Both bathrooms
benefit from underfloor heating.

The walled courtyard of Lambourne House is accessed through grand stone pillars and is laid to gravel, providing parking for two vehicles. The south-facing rear gardens have been formally
landscaped to create a wonderful outdoor setting, thoughtfully arranged to make the most of the far-reaching views beyond. Two elegant cypress trees frame the parkland vistas, while the planting includes shaped yew and box hedging and well-stocked borders that provide year-round interest. An Indian sandstone terrace spans the rear of the property, offering an ideal setting for relaxation and al fresco dining. The lawn is arranged over two levels, with steps leading down to a lower garden. The upper level features a stunning pagoda-style summerhouse, set beside a brick terrace.
