House For Sale £1,250,000
Documented to date from the 14th Century but thought to have had even earlier origins, Corse Court is a stunning Grade II* listed timbered farmhouse of great architectural importance, set in well-established south facing gardens of around 0.72 of an acre.
Purchased by the current owners in 2010, the property has been the subject of a careful restoration and modernisation resulting in an EPC rating of 'C'. Benefitting from its southerly aspect, the accommodation is well-proportioned, naturally light and enjoys attractive views from almost every room.
Arranged over two floors with two staircases and extending to approximately 2,932 square feet (excluding the annexe and cider house), the property enjoys modern finishes which complement charming original features that include exposed beams, brick and stone, stunning cruck beams, flagstones in the drawing room and pantry, a bread oven in the kitchen and several fireplaces including in the drawing room an ingle-nook with Clearview log-burner.
In brief, the house comprises a kitchen/breakfast room with separate pantry and utility/boot rooms, two sitting rooms, a study (or third reception room), garden room and cloakroom with adjacent shower. There is also integral access to a small garage. Upstairs, there are four very individual double bedrooms and 3 bath/shower rooms.
Contiguous with the house, The Granary has been converted to a delightful nicely proportioned and self-contained 2 bedroom cottage. Arranged over two floors, the cottage is approximately 551 square feet being naturally light and enjoying views of the gardens and countryside beyond. There is a small unconverted cellar below The Granary that offers limited use.
Wrapping around three sides of the house, the gardens are a wonderful feature of the property. Very private and peaceful but with stunning views they are complemented by useful outbuildings, potting sheds and a greenhouse. Formal hedge lines and pathways lead to areas of lawn surrounded by beautiful flower and shrub borders. There are fruit trees, a vegetable garden with raised beds and a number of secluded seating areas from where to admire the views.
The solar photovoltaic panels are discreetly tucked away in the furthest corner of the garden from the house, screened (to a degree) by a yew hedge.
Dating from the 17th Century, Grade II listed in its own right and still offering great potential, The Cider House is a handsome and versatile timber framed and brick built barn which could be used as a double garage, workshop or converted to a home office/annex (subject to the necessary consents).
Services: Ground source heating. Solar photovoltaic electric panels (x16 standalone panels) and accompanying Tesla battery. Mains water and electricity are connected. Ultrafast fibre broadband (200 mbps). Private waste to a recently installed waste treatment plant.
