DESCRIPTION
Gervase House is an Individual architect designed house constructed in the mid-1980s. This substantial and highly individual home offers over 2,200 sq ft of well-planned accommodation, set within a peaceful and private position at the heart of a thriving village community.
Arranged over two floors, the interior combines generous proportions with versatile living space. The ground floor is centred around a welcoming entrance hall, leading to a superb kitchen/dining room with bi-fold doors opening onto the garden, complemented by a separate utility and boot room. A spacious sitting room with a wood-burning stove provides a cosy focal point, while an additional reception room offers flexibility for a variety of uses and flows seamlessly into a light-filled garden room. A cloakroom completes the ground floor, alongside a striking staircase and landing with useful storage beneath.
Upstairs, the property continues to impress with four well- proportioned double bedrooms. The principal suite benefits from an ensuite shower room and a private balcony, perfectly positioned to take in the outstanding valley views. A second bedroom also enjoys ensuite facilities, while two further double bedrooms share the family bathroom along with a fifth bedroom which could also make an ideal study.
Outside, the property is set within generous, well-screened gardens offering a high degree of privacy. There is a double garage with EV charger, additional integral storage. A carriage driveway provides ample off-road parking for several vehicles, completing this unique and beautifully positioned village home.
OUTSIDE
The gardens are a true highlight of the property, offering a rare combination of privacy, far-reaching views and a wonderful sense of calm.
Approached from Dinton Road via a carriage driveway which provides plenty of parking for several vehicles and leads to the double garage, complete with an electric roller door, power and lighting.
To the rear, the south-westerly facing garden has been thoughtfully designed to make the most of its setting and orientation. It can be accessed from the kitchen/dining room via bi-fold doors, as well as from the sitting room and garden room, where paved terraces create ideal spaces for outdoor dining and entertaining, all enjoying elevated views across the valley. Beyond this, a generous expanse of lawn provides a perfect area for families, while the wider gardens gently cascade in tiers, richly planted with mature shrubs and trees. A meandering pathway leads down to a stream at the lower boundary, adding to the sense of tranquillity.
A beautifully established and ever-changing landscape, the gardens offer interest and enjoyment throughout the seasons.
