"Dillions Farmhouse has been the subject of an extensive programme of extension, refurbishment and redecoration during the vendor s ownership and now offers an exceptionally well presented family home. The core of the house is thought to be a timbered Tudor Hall house with Horsham stone roof, adapted by the later insertion of a large inglenook fireplace, which now serves both the formal sitting room and drawing room.
The house has been the subject of complete redecoration overseen by a well known local interior designer. Of particular note is the hand built Martin Moore Kitchen, the quality of the internal joinery and finishes, and the bright and stylish country d cor throughout.

Old Stables Cottage
The Old Stables Cottage was the site of former stabling and was converted by the vendors and is now presented to an exceptionally high standard, again with interior design over sight.

The vendor s passion for gardening is clearly evident at Dillions. During his ownership, with the advice and input of renowned garden designer Richard Taylor of Taylor Tripp Ltd, fantastic gardens have been created around the house. To the east of the older parts of the house is a charming cottage style garden surrounding an old well, with Cotswold stone gravel paths edged by planting including Verbena, roses, Mexican Daisies and perennial Geraniums. At the front of the house, accessed from the French doors from the kitchen is a newly created terrace with wonderful alfresco entertaining space, hedged parterres and sunken spa pool. To the rear of the house is a beautiful circular pond, created using the old horse pond at Dillions, and now a wonderful feature surrounded by Lavender, a large block of white Hydrangea Annabelle, roses and a striking red maple. There is a formal vegetable garden, greenhouse, and treehouse, whilst the area to the front of the property provides a wildlife pond and area of grassland giving wildflower habitat.

A range of traditional outbuildings currently provide infrastructure related to the water supply, a workshop, garaging and old stable.

An additional 16.25 acres can be made available via separate negotiation.
