Epc Coach House - D
“We’ve always admired Georgian architecture so finding Clifton House was a dream come true for us. We loved its elegantly handsome symmetrical façade, how it’s set back behind a formal lawn with a long, gravelled drive which swept around to a stable block, ideal for conversion to garaging, plus plenty of space for parking, and a former coach house with heaps of potential to renovate. For us, it ticked all the boxes!”
“We’ve lived here for about twenty years now and during that time we’ve converted the old stable block into garaging and renovated the former coach house into four bedroomed guest accommodation which has proved indispensable when family and friends visit. We’ve also added a garden room off the kitchen which is a lovely quiet place to relax and have a coffee, and being south facing, it means we can enjoy the garden all year round.”
“So, during the day we tend to spend much of our time in the kitchen and garden room, but on an evening the drawing room is definitely our favourite place to relax. It enjoys the typically grand Georgian proportions to be found throughout the house, but in the winter feels especially warm and cosy thanks to the log burner.”
“The gardens here are a great place to unwind as they’re south-facing, wonderfully secluded, and easy to maintain with lawns to the front and rear, mature tree and shrub borders, and a number of fruit trees. It’s also a great outdoor entertaining space as the garden room leads onto a lovely large terrace. In fact, we’ve celebrated some very special events here with our extended families over the years including our sister’s 70th birthday, mum’s 90th, the children’s parties with their bouncy castles, and more recently, a hen party for a friend’s daughter, which was great fun!”
“Leaving Clifton House is going to be a real wrench for us, but time has moved on and this wonderful family home is now just too large for the two of us. So, having decided to retire, it feels like now is also the right time to downsize. We’ve lots of lovely memories of our time here and will always remember how, from the day we moved in, we’d get a feeling of ‘being home’ whenever we turned into the drive; a sentiment we know is going to be hard to replicate elsewhere.”
