House For Sale £2,000,000
Charming period home in a beautiful setting.
Description
A glorious period family home, Lothlorian was built around the early 1900s with much later additions and retains much of its original charm and character. The house offers spacious and characterful accommodation with excellent reception space together with five bedrooms and mature, established gardens. Period features include fireplaces, decorative cornicing, picture rails, box bay windows and sash windows.
A charming reception hall, with the original Victorian front door, leads to the main reception rooms. The formal dining room enjoys a dual aspect and overlooks the frontage, with a fine period fireplace and open fire. To the rear an elegant dual aspect sitting room has lovely views over the garden and features a further decorative fireplace with an open fire. A breakfast room, with door access to the kitchen, leads through to the attractive garden room, with wide folding doors opening on to the terrace and giving fabulous garden views. The kitchen is well appointed with a comprehensive range of units with stone worktops and appliances including a combi oven/microwave, steam oven, induction hob, extractor and a dishwasher. The adjacent utility room has further storage, with space and plumbing for appliances and leads to a guest cloakroom.
Stairs from the reception hall lead to the galleried landing with plenty of storage. The principal bedroom overlooks the garden and benefits from a fully fitted dressing room and en suite shower room. A highlight are the tall corner windows and door opening on to a good sized balcony under a wisteria covered pergola, ideal for a morning coffee or a quiet read. On this floor are four further bedrooms and two family bathrooms, one with a bath and one with a shower. Two of the bedrooms have fitted wardrobes and one of the bedrooms is particularly large with plenty of eaves storage and could easily be used as a gym or games room.
Outside
The property enjoys a generous plot and sits set back from the road with gardens to the front and rear. A gravelled driveway gives ample off-street parking and leads to the double garage. To the front is an area of lawn, featuring a handsome Hemlock tree, with hedging and mature trees on the boundaries. A side pathway leads to an outbuilding just off the utility room, currently used as a pottery studio and with a spiral staircase down to a cellar. The southerly facing rear garden enjoys a large expanse of lawn and is enclosed with high hedging and mature trees. A stone terrace with box borders provides the perfect space to enjoy the garden while a kitchen garden area has raised vegetable beds and there are a lovely variety of fruit trees including quince, apple and pear. A garden store also gives access to the garage.
