Description

Tollgate House was built by Epps Construction in the early 1960s and has subsequently been subject of an extensive refurbishment and enhancement programme by the current owners to provide what is now a superb family house set within beautifully stocked gardens adjoining open farmland in an exceptionally convenient location.

On the ground floor there is an entrance hall with a cloakroom. Beyond is a reception hall with a staircase to the first floor and doors to the beautifully proportioned drawing room beyond which is a spacious study. Returning the hall, there is further access to the dining room which overlooks the rear garden, and the well-appointed kitchen/breakfast room, off which is a walk in pantry and a boiler room.

On the first floor there are four bedrooms and two bathrooms, whilst on the second floor there is a superb principal/guest double bedroom and spacious en suite shower/wet room.

Outside

Tollgate House is approached from The Street via a gated, tarmacadam driveway which leads to a parking area and double garage with storeroom beside the house, and a well stocked log store to the rear. To the front (south) is a terrace and sheltered sitting area beyond which are well-tended lawns with herbaceous borders and shrubs protecting the house. To the rear is a further terrace with lawn and mature boundary hedges backing onto open fields. The gardens enjoy a high degree of privacy and in all extend to some 0.9 acres.
The current owners had plans drawn up in 2012 for a large annexe to the side of the property which are available to view in the office.
