A beautifully appointed multigenerational Grade II Listed country residence set in stunning gardens of around 1.4 acres.
Situated in this most sought after location with stunning ridge views, Walnut House and The Carriage House is a unique opportunity to secure two elegant self-contained four bedroom Grade II Listed country residences which provide a total of around 6,100 sq ft of living accommodation in this splendid rural setting offering multigenerational living.
Originally dating from 1752, this former stable block was built for the third Earl of Scarborough within the grounds of Glentworth Hall and has been renovated to the highest of standards by the current owners, sympathetically blending a wealth of contemporary and period features and provides light, spacious and versatile living space throughout. Both properties provide an ideal opportunity for two families to cohabitate within this fantastic and tranquil location, with bespoke kitchens, designer bathrooms and well-proportioned rooms with high ceilings, sash windows and under floor heating throughout with exposed oak beams and ground source heating.

To the front, the properties are set behind a walled boundary and accessed via an electronically operated wrought iron gate with large gravel driveway which provides ample parking and a 1,350 sq.ft four bay (six vehicle) brick and slate roof detached garage (two single garages and two double garages with WC).

It is very unusual to find two properties set in a gorgeous parkland setting especially with multigenerational living in mind. The bespoke and detailed finish of these family homes is wonderful and the formal gardens are a real delight
