Grade II listed house set within Barcote Park Estate.
A delightful house, one of twelve comprising the Barcote Park estate. The original country estate of Barcote Manor (Grade II listed) was built for Lady Theodora Guest, a daughter of the Duke of Westminster, in 1876, primarily as a hunting lodge with an impressive coach house and stables in the Tutor revival style. Once over 100 acres the current estate still retains its inspired and secluded location. Beautifully situated on the edge of a hill in 28 acres of landscaped private parkland with its original Victorian grotto still featured and surrounded by giant Wellingtonia trees, it is a truly idyllic country house retreat, full of character, natural beauty, and tranquility.
In 1996 the main Manor House was converted into four houses. The stables and coach houses were converted at the same time and comprise a further eight houses one of which is Wellingtonia House. The maintained grounds of the estate are jointly owned and managed by the residents.
Wellingtonia House* (7 Westminster Court) forms part of the original stable block and it has impressively tall ceilings throughout. The large entrance hall opens to kitchen/breakfast room with painted wooden units. From the hall steps rise to the dining room with a door to a delightful west facing courtyard. Traditional bi-folding pine doors open to an elegant sitting room. From here stairs wind to a galleried landing where there are three double bedrooms, a family bathroom and a large storage cupboard. Off the entrance hall is a cloakroom and utility lobby. In addition, there is a large garage with a bright loft space accessed via a folding wooden ladder.
*The house is named after the mighty Wellingtonia tree, there is one at the entrance. The Wellingtonia gigantea was introduced to Britain after the recently deceased Duke of Wellington and soon became a defining feature in country estates and ornamental parkland.
