Georgian Elegance and your own “secret garden”.

There is something quite special about owning you own corner of England with all the charm of a bygone era. “Summerhill” will impress you as soon as you step through the door. This iconic property of Strete has been much admired throughout the years and after 20 happy years the current owners are setting sail for new adventures.

THE ACCOMODATION COMPRISES:

ENTRANCE HALL
The traditional style floor tiles set the tone as you enter the home. Warm and welcoming and with that extra storage under the stairs.

THE DRAWING ROOM

BEDROOM 4

GROUND FLOOR CLOAKROOM
This is located off the pantry corridor linking the Kitchen to The Entrance Hall. There is a W.C. and wash hand basin.

KITCHEN
This “orangery style" kitchen, with its lantern roof and wall of glass, which floods it with light, was added on to Summerhill in 2003/2004.Doors open on to the garden which maximises all the summer sun. The kitchen units and floor are made from solid recycled pine. There is a walk-through pantry which gives access to the Entrance Hall and downstairs Cloakroom. This delightful room is the engine room of Summerhill where the occupants gravitate to and it has been the hub of many family celebrations.

BEDROOM 1
The principal bedroom has a wall to ceiling French window. This was originally 2 rooms and now has plenty of space for wardrobe and clothes storage, as well as having its own en-suite with Shower, W.C., and wash hand basin. The internal shutters make it snug and cosy when those winter storms are rattling around outside.

BEDROOM 2

This treasure trove of botanical delights will enchant you.

VENDORS COMMENTS
Summerhill has been our home for over twenty years. We were married in the village and whilst we travel all over the world this is where we come back to. We have tried to create something that reflects our experiences around the world, our love of antiques and beautiful things and above all a cosy home.
The house has a history. It is listed because of its style and age especially the unusual front windows. It has been a labour of love to keep these ancient windows going, but they are attractive and a bit special. Looking back through the records the house was mentioned in Pigott's Guide in the mid 19c as “Summerhill Villa" and had been lived in by naval gentlemen for a long time right up to our predecessor.
The garden has been Valentina's creation and she has brought in many lovely flowers and features. If you see it in spring it will be magnificent. The old stone walls surrounding the garden are rightly also listed and form a sheltering protection around the garden.
We have tried to decorate and look after the house in a sympathetic way recognising it's probably regency origins. Hopefully the result is successful. We would like to think that whoever is the new custodian of this heritage will love and cherish it.
