Stunning countryside views can be appreciated from every room and with over 1800 sq ft of living space, high ceilings, a garage, parking and use of the 9-acre grounds and Tennis Court, this country retreat is really very special.

Lattiford House is steeped in history and is a prominent Georgian Grade II listed property built from local squared stone with a clay-tiled roof. It was likely built c.1800 with a West wing added in the later 19th century. However, the main house was destroyed in 1901 by a fire and re-built on a larger scale, later becoming Childscourt school from 1993 to 1999. In 2003 the main house was converted into four apartments with the estate buildings also undergoing renovation, creating a private hamlet set within 9 acres of communal gardens. A tennis court, pond, manicured gardens and surrounding fields provide an oasis for residents to enjoy and with agreement, tend parts of the garden individually for their own pleasure.

The Accommodation
The apartment is accessed via a large entrance hall and grand central staircase ascending three flights. The hall provides access to all the main rooms of the apartment and can be adorned with furniture due to its size. The kitchen is fitted with shaker style base units in a horseshoe with low-level microwave oven, dishwasher, stainless-steel 11⁄2 bowl sink and drainer set into the granite worktop, washing machine, 4-ring electric hob and wide double oven beneath a large chimney extractor fan. A breakfast table currently sits in the space across from a pantry cupboard and adjoining integrated fridge/freezer and opens into the sizable dining room with fireplace and built-in dresser. Adjacent, the drawing room extends to nearly 27ft with a prominent fireplace and views across the countryside.

The substantial principal bedroom is a sublime space with feature fireplace and adjoining dressing room and en-suite bathroom with step up to a roll-top bath, separate shower, WC, white heated towel rail and basin. The dual aspect second bedroom is fitted with wardrobes to one wall and looks out over an orangery within the grounds.
