House For Sale £3,250,000
This beautiful 18th century home, like many of its period, started as a
modest dwelling, later gentrified in the 19th century, refronted in yellow stock brick and extended over three floors. A further Orangery and grand pillared entrance were added in the 20th century. Sadly, due to ill health, the former owner, let the house slip into disrepair, until our clients
purchased it in 2012. Fortunately, it was love at first sight and - having a passion for period buildings – our clients set about restoring, renovating, and converting into what is now a magnificent home. The attention to detail, quality of materials, and craftsmanship employed to carry out the sympathetic restoration has brought it back to life and taken it to a new level befitting of its status and making it a home fit for today’s demanding life style, combined with some interesting twists
The accommodation extends to 4,620 sq.ft (429.2 sq.m) set over three floors, comprising six double bedrooms, three bathrooms (two en-suite), four reception rooms and the usual offices. The symmetrical design of the period centres around the hallway and staircase. To the right-hand side is the drawing room retaining its open fireplace, ceiling cornice and 12 pane sash window. This flows through a wide arch into the music room with casement doors onto the garden and southerly views over Lower Halliford Green to the front. Turning left off the hall is the library, also retaining its fireplace, sash window and a ceiling cornice of a rare design, depicting the faces of politicians, writers, and actors of the era. To the rear is the gorgeous open plan kitchen/dining/orangery.
The kitchen has been comprehensively fitted including a 4 oven gas fired Aga and opens onto a sunny courtyard to the side, which is a lovely area to have a morning coffee and read the papers. To
the rear is a splendid dining room/orangery that accommodates a 12-seater dining table and has four sets of doors that open onto the pool terrace, making it perfect for either formal or al fresco entertaining. A large roof lantern floods the room with natural light and the room was designed and built to an original Georgian design by a specialist company renowned for their work with the National Trust and listed buildings.
To the first floor a spacious landing gives access to two large double bedrooms each with its en-suite and enjoying beautiful views over Lower Halliford Green and the surrounding countryside. The master suite has an adjoining dressing room and sumptuous bathroom.
Continuing up to the second floor are four further double bedrooms
and a beautifully appointed shower room.
