An impressive Grade II listed Georgian house of elegant proportions, offering extensive and versatile accommodation with a rich history, and excellent potential to create a family home
A substantial Grade II listed Georgian residence, distinguished by its elegant neoclassical symmetry and tall, multi-paned sash windows. This striking house has a rich and varied history, having served as an equine veterinary hospital, a clothing factory, and later offices for the Forestry Commission, before becoming a successful guest house over the past thirty years.
Arranged over three floors, the property offers considerable scale and versatility, presenting an exciting opportunity for reconfiguration and enhancement, subject to the necessary consents, to create a truly exceptional and bespoke family home.
The accommodation is well balanced, with a gracious entrance hall leading to two south-facing reception rooms, including a charming sitting room and a formal dining room. A study, which could alternatively serve as a ground floor bedroom, provides further flexibility. The kitchen is thoughtfully arranged and connects to a practical utility room with plant space and a guest cloakroom.
The first floor comprises four well-proportioned bedrooms, each with en suite facilities. The second floor offers additional versatile accommodation, including a further en suite bedroom and two additional rooms served by a spacious bathroom featuring a walk-through shower and a distinctive oval bath.
Externally, a delightful courtyard garden provides a sheltered and attractive outdoor space, ideal for al fresco dining and relaxation.
