Leversdown House is an attractive Georgian house, built in the Regency style, and dating from the early 1800s, with later additions resulting in the spacious and adaptable house and buildings as they stand today. The property has a notable history, having previously belonged to significant Somerset families, including the Pratts and the Harrisons, whilst also being home to Dame Anne Cooper of Halswell House in nearby Goathurst.

More recently, the property has been in the current vendors' ownership since 2008, who have significantly modernised and restored the house, buildings and gardens, creating this magnificent family home. Facing almost due south, the property offers bright and spacious accommodation over two floors, with a layout suitable for multi-generational occupancy if required. With accommodation arranged over two floors, and a fine wine cellar with entertaining area, the house flows beautifully, with tall ceilings and plenty of light from the recently installed heritage approved double glazed sash windows.

On the ground floor, there is a substantial reception hall, with cloakroom and staircase rising to the first floor galleried landing. At the front of the building, there is a drawing room with fireplace and inset wood burner, and windows on two aspects, overlooking the gardens. The dining room, also at the front of the building has an attractive period fireplace and garden views.

At the back of the house there is a west facing sitting room with wood burner. The kitchen/breakfast room has a 3-oven electric Aga with module consisting of a gas hob and electric ovens. There is also a selection of integral appliances within bespoke kitchen units. From the kitchen there is access to a pantry, boot room with WC, and further to a back staircase and a snug/study, with utility room beyond.

On the first floor, there are three spacious double bedrooms at the front of the building, a family bathroom and separate shower room, and two further bedrooms at the rear. A door from the landing leads to the east wing, with a further landing area and back staircase, and two further bedrooms. The back staircase leads down to the rear hallway and snug/study area, which has independent access to the outbuildings and court yard, lending itself to creating a self-contained unit if required. Subject to the necessary consents.

Approached via a long shared drive, which belongs to Leversdown House, there is a substantial parking and turning area to the north of the house and buildings. There is a delightful courtyard on the east side of the house, which has vehicular access from the tarmac driveway to the north.

Within the courtyard, there is a sheltered seating area, surrounded by a selection of traditional outbuildings, including stables, workshops, garaging and storage buildings. The stabling and stores have a door linking them to the east wing of the house, enhancing further opportunities to create an annexe if required STP.

The gardens and grounds have been immaculately kept and beautifully laid out to create a magnificent garden, which runs down to a stream and ornamental pond on the southern boundary. Within the gardens, there are extensive lawns, mature borders and a wide variety of mature trees and shrubs.

There is a spectacular walled kitchen garden, with an orchard and paddock beyond, and a substantial greenhouse within the main garden. A further paddock, with field shelter and storage shed, wraps around the house and buildings to the north. In total, the property extends to just over 6 acres.
