Property description
This is a unique opportunity to acquire a handsome 6/7-bedroom Edwardian residence that has been in the same family for over 50 years. Set in an impressive 4.24 acres of gardens, the property leads down to the River Stour and has plenty of parking, garaging and an outbuilding that would make a perfect workshop/stable.
The house requires modernisation offering endless potential to restore this beautiful home. It features a grand entrance hall and well-proportioned reception rooms, along with ample bedrooms that overlook the stunning grounds, offering a superb, uninterrupted view of Brailes Hill.
The main entrance hall is located in the centre of the house, there are glazed doors at one end. The generously sized kitchen is open to a lovely breakfast area, a larder, and has a rear entrance to the garden, passing by a utility room and a WC. The main sitting room boasts a large bay window with doors that overlook the side garden, showcasing the unique Grade II Listed summer house at the far end. The dining room features a fireplace, and before heading upstairs, there is another reception room, fondly known as "the playroom." A second WC is also located on this floor.
A grand staircase leads to the first floor, where you will find four double bedrooms and a
large bathroom that includes both a separate shower and a bath. On the top floor, there is a spacious landing that leads to two double bedrooms and another bathroom, as well as a large loft room with exposed beams.
Outside, there is a large driveway, five garages, and a stable/outbuilding. The formal garden to the south is walled at the front for privacy and includes an old grass tennis court, mature fruit trees, and shrubs, all leading down over 4.24 acres. While the house itself is not listed, the unique and characterful two-storey summer house/treehouse to the south of the house is Grade II Listed Listed due to its mid-19th-century Gothic architectural design and historic significance.
