Exciting opportunity to update striking country property.
Barton House dates from 1894 when it is understood to have been built by the Hall family and was at the time part of the Barton Abbey estate. Not listed, the property is constructed of brick with feature Dutch gables and offers over 5000 sq ft of accommodation over three floors.
With lapsed planning permission to significantly extend with an impressive contemporary wing, the property holds huge potential to create a superb country residence.
Period features of classic proportions include high ceilings and deep skirting boards.
The entrance hall, with feature fireplace is most fitting of a grand residence. Reception rooms include the dual aspect drawing room with wood burning stove, sitting room and a dining room which is open plan to a study area. The kitchen has a pantry, access to the cellar and door to garden. There is a cloakroom and useful utility room/boot room with door to garden.
A wide, original dog leg staircase rises all the way to the second floor. The principal bedroom overlooks the gardens and countryside beyond has an en suite bathroom and a large dressing room. There are four further bedrooms on the first floor with a family bathroom. The second floor has two bedrooms, a kitchenette, shower room and attic storage space.
Outbuildings, gardens and grounds
Barton House is approached to ample parking and turning at the front of the property. The grounds enjoy a parkland setting with established specimen trees. A west facing terrace overlooks the gardens and steps lead down to a lawn and to the lower gardens with hard tennis court. Outbuildings, which include a Victorian green house, garaging, garden store and a work shop, offer huge potential with permitted development to create 5 car garaging, indoor pool and games room.
