House For Sale £1,250,000
The Property
Clarence Court is a delightful house full of warmth, character and elegance. It is well-presented throughout, demonstrating a lovely balance between period features and modern comforts. It was built in the late 18th century with 19th century alterations, although its origins are believed to date from the late 17th century. It is Grade II listed. The many period features include archways, moulded ceiling cornices, an unusual oval ceiling rose in the principal bedroom, fireplaces and window shutters. Additionally, there are three pairs of floor to ceiling French windows with attractive tracery opening to the front and an impressive reception hall with a fine staircase rising to a gallery landing on the first floor. The rooms are well-proportioned with good ceiling heights and the interior has a friendly and welcoming atmosphere. The main receptions rooms all have their own character and style. They are all fitted with a central fireplace including a Jetmaster fire in the drawing room. The reception hall provides an impressive first impression and acts as the heart of the house with the main rooms all leading off it. The kitchen/breakfast room is fitted with an Aga and has a vaulted walk-in store off. The kitchen opens to a south facing paved area and garden. There is a study and a garden room to one end of the house, both are charming and are spacious in proportion. Since there is a second drive leading to this end of the house it could offer the perfect environment for home working or running a business.
The accommodation is very flexible and provides potential to create a self-contained wing, if required, to the north of the house, either for ancillary, home office, or Airbnb use, subject to any necessary consents.
On the first floor there are six double bedrooms. The inner landing opens to a roof terrace. The principal bedroom has floor to ceiling double French windows and double doors opening to the garden. There are five further bedrooms, (one with en-suite shower room), a contemporary family bathroom and a further shower room. All the bedrooms are full of character and charm offering the perfect environment for both family living and entertaining alike.
Outside
The house is approached through a stone pillared entrance leading to an in and out drive. A one-time detached, substantially built double garage with two pairs of glazed double doors each in arched surround, now resembles a former coach house and is used for storage. A garage could easily be re-instated. Adjoining is a store. The drive in front of the house provides generous parking. There are mature trees including a Yew and raised beds planted with specimen shrubs. Adjacent to the main drive is a further part-walled entrance leading to a large parking area to the south of the house. The rear garden is laid principally to lawn, with borders planted with shrubs and flowering plants and there is a summer house with decking. The lawn is interspersed with established trees and includes Silver Birch, Beech, Maple, Tulip, Magnolia, Walnut and Cherry. Steps lead down from the lawn to a stone paved area outside the kitchen/breakfast room, facing south, ideal for entertaining. The gardens are spacious and a true delight.
