The Gladdy House is a charming family home offering a wealth of character and generous sized rooms, some parts dating back to the Tudor period. The property hosts an abundance of original features, which include exposed timbers, impressive fireplaces and solid oak floors. The ground floor has been sympathetically extended and renovated creating a wonderful open and versatile family space.
Enter through the front door into the hallway, which has a beautiful tiled floor and on the right leads into the Dining room. This room has a fantastic feature fireplace with Delph tiles, beams and doors opening onto the courtyard garden. From here is the splendid sitting room, with a beamed ceiling and an impressive inglenook fireplace offering the perfect place to relax. There is also a study, a cloakroom and a very generous sized family room, with plenty of storage and a door to the garden.
To the left of the hall is the impressive kitchen, fully fitted and functional with bespoke units, an aga and a central island. This opens into the breakfast room with vaulted skylights making it very light and the perfect space for family gatherings and entertaining, with double doors opening onto the patio outside. There is a utility room and stairs leading down to the cellar.
Up the main staircase to the first floor is the principal bedroom suite which is a very generous space comprising a double bedroom in the original part of the house, with wood panelling, another amazing feature fireplace, high ceiling and a lovely view of the established magnolia tree outside. There is an en suite bathroom with a stand-alone bath and a separate shower cubicle, a dressing room and another dressing area. This then leads to a smaller staircase. There is single bedroom and a further two double bedrooms and the family bathroom.
Up the stairs to the 2nd floor are another two double bedrooms and a snug/TV room, an ideal area for teenagers or guests.
