Description

Upper Close is a particularly well-proportioned house that displays many of the beautiful features associated with classic Georgian architecture. The principal reception rooms have high ceilings, period working fireplaces and large sash and French windows with southerly views across the gardens, past the village church, to open countryside beyond. This combination of an exceptional country house in a particularly private setting is a rare opportunity not to be missed.

The accommodation is well laid out for both family living and entertaining with the main reception rooms approached off the reception hall. An elegant curved staircase with polished handrail leads to the first floor and large landing where there are 5 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. There are 2 secondary bedrooms on the second floor. A Cellar, fitted with wine racks, completes the accommodation in the house.
