House For Sale £2,500,000
Dating back to 1650 Glazebrook House is an immaculate Georgian country house with later Victorian additions. Originally the site of a farmhouse, in 1865 it became a manor house and in 1945 Glazebrook House was owned by the naval commander Algernon Edmund Penrice-Lyons. It then was converted into a hotel in c.1970.
In 2013 Glazebrook House underwent an extensive and sympathetic refurbishment to become an impressive country house hotel which makes a stunning residential dwelling house or can be used for boutique events and functions. The current owners worked together with the interior designer Timothy Oulton to create striking interiors reflecting British revival style.
The generous proportions of the house are typical of its era with magnificent high ceilings heights, elegant windows, excellent natural light and impressive formal entertaining rooms. The main entrance hall creates a wonderful sense of arrival and sets the tone for the rest of the house.
The attention to detail continues to the first floor, where there are eight beautifully appointed double bedrooms, all with en suite bathrooms of exceptional quality, together with a media / meeting room, sitting room and study.
The basement provides a chilled cellar room, plus a series of rooms for wine or other storage.
