Tenure: Freehold
The Sanctuary is a superbly appointed atmospheric Grade II listed property set in the heart of the picturesque riverside village of Newnham on Severn. Its history spans several centuries with medieval origins. It is a 15th and 16th century timber frame house with the addition of a Georgian bay window and a later kitchen. The rooms have excellent proportions and are presented to reflect the style of dwelling. The main house benefits from three large reception rooms, a kitchen/breakfast room, four bedrooms, two bathrooms and a large two roomed cellar. There is a separate, but connected two storey building, the ground floor former stable, previously used as a shop, a large first floor games room and separate study. This building could either be used for retail or potentially converted to accommodation. The garden to the rear overlooks the river in a south easterly direction and enjoys sunshine for a large part of the day. A truly superb residence steeped in history but equipped for modern day living.
