Details

Built in 1870's and after an original conversion in 1967, it was masterfully renovated in 1977-78, this jaw-droppingly substantial main door lower conversion forms the entire ground floor of one of the area’s most distinguished period homes. Rich in original detail and architectural charm, this extraordinary residence is set amidst magnificent private grounds - most of which are retained exclusively for this property. A rare and standout feature is the stone-built mews cottage to the rear, offering outstanding versatility as independent accommodation for extended family, guests, or potential business use.

From the moment you enter, the grandeur of this home is undeniable. A welcoming entrance vestibule opens into a magnificent reception hallway with original terrazzo flooring, setting the tone for the elegance that follows. The formal lounge is nothing short of spectacular, featuring ornate ceiling cornice work, a centre rose, original fireplace detail, a substantial, south-facing bay window, and additional side window allowing natural light to pour in.

A separate front-facing sitting room enjoys views over the landscaped front garden and includes a further fireplace detail to focal wall. Two large double bedrooms on the main level both benefit from fitted storage/wardrobe space, with the principal bedroom enjoying access to a Jack-and-Jill style en-suite shower room, also accessible from the main hallway.

To the rear, a spacious breakfasting kitchen and large adjoining utility room stretch the width of the property and open out to the garden. A charming side porch adds further convenience. At half landing level are two additional bedrooms, both with fitted storage, and a well-appointed three-piece bathroom.

This impressive home is further enhanced by replacement triple-glazed windows (excluding utility room) and a gas central heating system via a Vokera boiler.

Externally, the grounds are truly breathtaking. Set well back from the road, the property enjoys an expansive driveway with ample off-street parking. The front lawn and garden beds are beautifully maintained and screened by mature trees, offering a wonderful sense of privacy and seclusion. To the rear, the ornamental gardens form a tranquil oasis - featuring manicured lawns, established tree/shrub borders, useful outhouses, and a variety of seating areas perfect for outdoor entertaining or quiet relaxation.

The detached stone mews cottage adds yet another layer of appeal - featuring accommodation across two floors, including a bright lounge with full-height window, an inner hall leading to a shower room and utility space, and an upper-level bedroom with fitted wardrobes. The cottage benefits from electric heating and double glazing (in the main).
