High Street, Seend SN12

The Dial House is an outstanding period family home with C15th origins and character features including exposed ceiling beams, wall timbering, a most impressive Inglenook fireplace and an original large Ashlar chimney breast with sun dial.

Set on the prestigious Seend High Street, this fine property offers an incredibly spacious and flexible layout of over 3800sqft. A long welcoming entrance hall with flagstones and wooden panelled walls opens off to a dual aspect dining room with a window seat, shutters and a fireplace with marble surround. A beautiful drawing room, also dual aspect, features an impressive stone Inglenook fireplace, moulded beams and oak flooring. There is a separate study with bespoke bookshelves and a useful utility room with adjoining cloakroom. A stylish hand-built kitchen has a central island, granite worktops, tiled flooring, a walk-in pantry, aga and range cooker. Further reception space is found in the sitting room with its inviting log burning stove, and the vaulted orangery with adjacent conservatory. Spread over the first and second floors are the six bedrooms, complemented by three refitted modern bathrooms and a charming, vaulted shower room with walk-in dressing room and mezzanine storage.

Outside, a long gravelled driveway provides ample parking and leads to a detached double garage with light, power and large storage area above. The predominantly walled private gardens are a true delight and have regularly featured in the ‘Seend Open Gardens.’ The whole plot amounts to just over 1/3 acre, and the gardens have been beautifully landscaped to include stone walkways, topiary, espalier fruit trees, a flowering cherry tree and raised herb beds.
A well-maintained level lawn leads down to an Indian sandstone sun terrace and a former piggery which is now a lovely eating/outside entertaining space.
