House For Sale £1,250,000
Sumner House is a handsome Grade II Listed house constructed of Limestone under a traditional Cotswold stone roof. Once owned by the Nobel Prize Winner Sir Peter Ratcliffe, this elegant house is very much a principal and historic part of the town and has been a happy home for many families over the years.
The accommodation is arranged over two floors and is extremely versatile. The house has enormous character and a plethora of period features including stone mullioned windows, flagstone floors in the hall, timber parquet flooring in the drawing room, and open fires in the main reception rooms. The house has been sympathetically extended over generations and the kitchen breakfast home now overlooks the garden with a door out to a barbeque terrace.
Upstairs is accessed by two separate staircases. There is a generous master suite with an en suite bathroom and dressing, four further bedrooms and a further bathroom and a separate cloakroom. There is space to convert the 2nd floor however this is currently used for storage and would require listed building consent.
To the front of the house a low traditional stone wall that frames an impressive knot garden made of box hedging. To the side, there is plenty of off-street parking and to the rear a large terrace overlooking the garden. The principal garden is south-facing and mostly laid to lawn with deep herbaceous borders skilfully planted with a multitude of specimen shrubs and mature trees. There is a summer house to one side that could make the perfect home office away from the house.
