Description

Ryeclose House is a beautifully refurbished country home situated on 14.6 acres of land, surrounded by lush countryside and birdsong. The property, which started life as a 1922 cottage, was transformed seven years ago with a high-end renovation that added an orangery, courtyard parking, and new interior design. The exterior features painted render, timber-framed windows, and a clay tile roof, while the interior boasts generously sized rooms with excellent ceiling height. The ground floor includes a study, drawing room, and kitchen, which connects to the orangery and garden. Upstairs, there are four bedrooms, including a principal bedroom with an ensuite wet room and balcony. The property also features outbuildings, including a recently built traditional barn that could be converted into a guest cottage or annexe, subject to obtaining the necessary consents. The garden is split into formal and wild areas, with a levellawn, pond, and fountain, as well as a kitchen garden and greenhouse. The property has ample parking and is surrounded by beautiful countryside views.
