8 bed detached house for sale

The Green, Frampton On Severn, Gloucester GL2

A spectacular Queen Anne/Georgian country house offering classical proportions, handsome reception rooms, circa 2 acres of grounds, ancillary Coach House and two cottages

Property Description

Frampton Lodge offers a truly spectacular historic home overlooking the picturesque green in the village of Frampton on Severn. In the same custodianship for the last 75 years, the sale of Frampton Lodge offers a rare and exciting opportunity to renovate a historic landmark property.

Dating back to the late C17th/early C18th, spanning the Queen Anne and Georgian eras, the home displays many of the features typical of the period including Frampton brick, sash windows with painted keystone and wide voussoirs, together with more formal, classical additions from the Georgian era including decorative cornices and pleasing symmetry.

A handsome double entrance opens to an impressive reception hall with open fireplace and ornate pillars and cornicing, an ideal room for welcoming guests and hosting parties. Two further reception rooms are set to the rear of house, both with wonderfully large bay sash windows overlooking the garden. All of the receptions benefit from impressive high ceilings and working fireplaces. A large dining room with 3 sash windows overlooks the front aspect, providing a great room for entertaining with the gentle hum of a game of village cricket offering an idyllic backdrop.

A useful home office and cloakroom lead off the main reception hall.

The kitchen is set to the rear of the house with ample discreet storage and access to both the garden and a back staircase leading to a good sized laundry room and the upper floors. There is scope to relocate the kitchen to the sitting and dining rooms with the possibility of opening the two rooms up (subject to planning).

A handsome staircase leads to the upper floors with 5 first floor bedrooms and 3 further bedrooms on the second floor. The first floor principal bedroom benefits from a magnificent bay window overlooking the garden and would combine well with the adjoining bathroom and bedroom to create and impressive principal suite with walk-in dressing room and en-suite. Four bathrooms are spread across the upper floors.

Garden & Grounds

The garden extends to circa 2 acres. Located to the rear of the house, the grounds comprise level lawns, mature trees and a former tennis court and kitchen garden. The garden is entirely enclosed with Frampton brick and dry stone walling, providing privacy and security for young families.

The potential to restore the grounds to their former glory is obvious providing a wealth of exciting opportunity.

A large gravel parking area is located to the front of the house with the potential to clear woodland and overgrowth to the side of the property and considerably extend available parking/garaging.

Ancillary Accommodation

A detached coach house totalling just under 3,000 sq feet is located to the side of the principal residence comprising two cottages (Lodge and Hope Cottage) both with 2 bedrooms and a central Coach House which would convert well to a third cottage.

The ancillary accommodation has its own driveway access so would make an ideal separate home for multi-generational living or work equally well for income generation or overflow guest accommodation.
