Overview
About Field House
The property is believed to date back to the early 1800s and is of traditional stone built construction beneath a stone slate roof. It was renovated alongside the attached property circa 2010. Our client has owned the property for a relatively short period of time but has carried out numerous works including redecoration, tanking the cellar and landscaping works including a raised seating area from which to enjoy the views.
Entrance to the property is through the solid wooden entrance door into the spacious hall which sits between 2 bay fronted reception rooms. The formal lounge has a superb feature fireplace, coved ceiling and a large bay window which is glazed from the floor upwards. At the other side of the hall there is another similarly proportioned living room which this time has an inset fireplace and again a large bay window. The living room is open plan into the dining kitchen, providing a modern open plan way of living. The kitchen itself is fitted with an excellent range of modern base units and wall cupboards with matching island unit and glazed double doors to the rear. From the kitchen there is handy utility room and a downstairs wc.
The first floor landing areas are split over 2 levels giving access to 2 bedrooms at the front and 2 at the rear. The principal bedroom is of an excellent size and features a distinctive exposed roof truss, built in wardrobes to either side of the chimney breast and partly panelled walls. It has its own en-suite shower room. Bedroom 2 also features an exposed roof truss and en-suite shower room. The remaining 2 bedrooms are located at the rear of the building and are served by the superb house bathroom.
The property has a gas fired central heating system with under floor heating throughout the ground floor and wooden framed double glazed windows. It has high quality modern fittings throughout complimenting the many traditional features which are retained.
Externally, the property is situated up a tarmac driveway which is shared with 2 other houses. This leads to a driveway parking area in front of the building with paved seating area and attractively planted border. The main garden area is to be found at the side of the building raised up to a higher level which enables superb views from the recently completed paved seating area. Adjoining this is a level lawned area with further seating areas to be found at the rear of the building over 2 levels.
Field House is enviably located in the heart of Netherton’s conservation area, surrounded by some similarly high calibre residences. It is well placed for access into the centre of the village with its excellent local amenities. Countryside and woodland walks are also to be found on the doorstep. Whilst Hinchliffe’s farm shop and restaurant are also firm favourites with the local residents.
