Feering, CO5 9NL

Approached from the parking area, a series of steps lead up to a west-facing terrace where an original brick and pantile summerhouse sets the tone, offering a charming and welcoming introduction. The front door is sheltered by a canopy porch and opens into a generous reception hall/dining room. This elegant space is centred around a fireplace and enjoys views over the front garden. From here, a passageway leads to a ground floor cloakroom, the kitchen/breakfast room and the utility/boot room — all with underfloor heating. A small lobby provides access to the cellar, a practical storage space with power, lighting, and the oil-fired boiler. The sitting room lies adjacent, a warm and inviting room with an open fireplace and large windows, creating the perfect place to relax or entertain. The kitchen is well-proportioned and thoughtfully designed with modern units and appliances. Just a few steps down, the utility/boot room gives access to the rear garden and provides plenty of storage, cupboards, sink and space for appliances. Upstairs, a spacious landing area is reached via a dog-leg staircase with exposed studwork. Four comfortable double bedrooms are arranged here, all with fitted wardrobes, one with its own en-suite shower room. A large family bathroom with bath, separate shower, WC and basin completes the accommodation. Many of the front-facing rooms are fitted with retractable sun blinds. The gardens are beautifully landscaped and arranged into distinct areas. The walled front garden includes ample parking, a garage, lawn and established shrubs and trees. Behind a beech hedge is a second formal garden — private, peaceful and picturesque. Beyond, separated by a brick wall, lies a further garden area with a large heated greenhouse on a brick base and useful outbuildings, ideal for keen gardeners. St Andrews is more than a house; it is a much-loved home of real charm and character, offering space, history and a wonderful setting for its next custodians.
