Fairdown House is a stylish Arts and Crafts inspired family home in a secluded position. The current owners have upgraded the house and have created a sophisticated mix of traditional elegance with modern family living space.
Of particular note is the large kitchen/breakfast room with south facing French doors opening onto the large garden terrace. The principal rooms face south, a classically appealing orientation maximising natural sunlight and views of the grounds. There is an elegant 28’ long, dual-aspect drawing room with an open fireplace and French doors accessing the gardens and terrace. The family sitting room is also of generous proportions and offers a flexible living space of a more relaxed feel.
The layout upstairs is enviable, with five en suite bedrooms and an additional attic room adding flexibility to the second floor usage. The principal bedroom mirrors the proportions of the drawing room below, and is also dual aspect with views across the gardens.
The gardens and grounds at Fairdown House are cleverly designed to create an enclosed, more formal garden close to the house with imaginatively designed mixed shrub and flower borders focused along the central axis of the garden. Beyond this there is a more informal area housing the swimming pool, large children’s games lawn and a vegetable garden and fruit cage. Adjacent to the pool is a green oak framed pool house incorporating changing rooms, a WC and kitchenette.
The property is approached via a sweeping gravel driveway culminating in front of the house, opposite which is a clapperboard barnstyle building housing a spacious room currently used as a gym, and several garden stores.
