House For Sale £2,000,000
A unique and characterful family home of 3,148 sq ft created from the conversion of a Victorian fort, situated in a very private location, away from traffic noise, only a short walk from Pewley Downs and the High Street.
Pewley Fort is a unique and characterful family house that has been created from an original Victorian fort, built at the end of the 1800's, as a mobilisation centre, used to store weapons and ammunition, and part of a chain of positions along the line of the North Downs, forming a defence line to defend London.
The single storey section of the building was part of the original fort and the two storey section was added in the late 1950's. The accommodation has been updated and decorated in Farrow & Ball colours in recent years and a feature kitchen by Neptune has been installed. Approached via a mock drawbridge, the reception hall has a medieval theme, all creating an historic first impression.
On the ground floor there is a lovely large drawing room with feature central wood burner and library and a feature sweeping staircase leads to the first floor. Also on the ground floor there is a cloakroom and utility room, a large family/games room and three bedrooms and a bathroom.
The aforementioned feature staircase leads to a gallery style dining room with a balcony and the lovely kitchen/breakfast room leads off this area. There are double doors from the breakfast/family area onto a large roof terrace garden. From the dining area an inner hall leads to a first floor cloakroom, a study/bedroom and principal bedroom suite with recently installed contemporary style shower room.
Approached via a private driveway off Pewley Hill, there is a detached timber double garage and courtyard parking with double gates leading to the house and garden. There is also an integral single garage and workshop within the original building. A large lawned area to front of the house with walk ways through mature shrubberies, adds to the charm of the property.
