The Property
Dating back to the 1930s, Blue Cedars has been significantly extended and enhanced over the years to create a substantial and versatile family home. Of particular note is the impressive range of garaging and the substantial annex, offering excellent potential for multi-generational living, home working or ancillary accommodation, subject to any necessary consents.
The property is approached via twin gated entrances which create a practical in and out driveway. The house sits within mature landscaped gardens, complemented by a woodland backdrop which provides both privacy and a sheltered setting.

Accommodation
The hardwood front door opens into an impressive orangery with vaulted ceiling and glazed elevations, creating a light and welcoming central space enjoying views across the gardens.
The kitchen forms the heart of the home and is fitted with a comprehensive range of wooden units set beneath granite work surfaces, incorporating a Belfast sink. A gas fired Aga set within a tiled recess provides an attractive focal point, with integrated appliances including a fridge, freezer and dishwasher. Situated opposite is the music room formally used as the main dining room featuring a bow window and benefiting from a log burner with a stone surround.
To the southern side of the house are two generous reception rooms of similar proportions, the living room features a multi-fuel burner.
An inner hallway provides access to a ground floor WC and a versatile spa room housing a hot tub (available by separate negotiation), which could equally serve as an integral car port if required. This area also leads to an outside shower room, a boot room, fuel store and additional storage. A spacious utility room fitted with base units, sink and plumbing for laundry appliances completes the ground floor layout.

First Floor
A handsome oak staircase rises to the first floor landing.
The principal bedroom is a particularly impressive room, benefiting from bespoke fitted furniture and a bow window with window seat enjoying far reaching countryside views. The en suite bathroom is generously proportioned and features a freestanding claw foot bath, separate shower cubicle, twin pedestal wash basins and period style tiling.
There are four further well-appointed bedrooms, a luxurious family bathroom with freestanding claw bath off the landing is a useful built linen cupboard and a separate ironing room.
Occupying the northern wing of the first floor are two substantial inter connecting rooms, currently used as a home office, seating area and library. These provide excellent flexibility and could be reconfigured to form additional bedroom accommodation, a self-contained suite (granny/teenage annex) or leisure space with its own entrance from the rear of the property.

Annex
Positioned to the north east of the house is a substantial ancillary building with independent central heating. Originally constructed as garaging and later converted, the building previously benefited from planning permission for conversion into three holiday cottages (Ref: P/2005/1222 – now lapsed).
The ground floor extends to approximately 100 sq m (1,076 sq ft) and comprises a reception hall with vaulted ceiling, four rooms and a WC. There is clear potential to introduce a staircase to access further accommodation within the roof space. The annex offers excellent scope for dependent relative accommodation, home office use or potential rental income, subject to any necessary permissions.

Garaging & Outbuildings
Blue Cedars benefits from extensive garaging, ideal for car enthusiasts or those seeking generous workshop and storage space. Integral with the house is another garage currently used as a workshop which can be used for a car parking, together with a link detached triple garage finished with tiled flooring and providing power, lighting and water supply.
A staircase from the garage leads to two large first floor storage rooms which may be suitable for conversion, subject to requirements. The garage block incorporates a 16 panel solar array, enhancing the overall energy efficiency of the property.
Additional outbuildings within the grounds include a brick log store, potting shed with adjoining garden store and timber general store.

Gardens & Grounds
The property is accessed from Pentre Lane via two gated entrances leading to a sweeping driveway.
The formal gardens lie predominantly to the south and east of the house and are mainly laid to lawn, gently sloping down to an attractive ornamental pond enclosed by decorative metal railings. The gardens are well established and feature a variety of mature planting including rhododendrons, specimen oak and silver birch, together with conifers such as redwood and yew, all set against a woodland boundary.
A paved terrace to the front of the house features a central water feature and overlooks a rose garden. To one side lies an orchard planted with cherry, apple and pear trees, together with two raised vegetable beds and behind the beech hedge is a grazing paddock for a pony.
In total, the gardens and grounds extend to approximately 4.75 acres.
