House For Sale £1,650,000
An attractive character property with studio annex, garaging and indoor pool.
Description
Lawnscote House is a character property situated in an elevated position, which offers so much more than meets the eye. It has beautiful, landscaped gardens to the rear and has a separate studio annex, triple bay garage and indoor pool.
The house has Georgian and Victorian origins with a recently (2019) extended kitchen/breakfast room and orangery (2010), with quality fixtures and fittings throughout. The orangery has allowed plenty of southerly light to flood through the roof lanterns into the rear parts of the house. There are three further spacious reception rooms full of character and charm, as well as a generous reception hall to meet and greet which has a balconied staircase rising to the upper floors. There is also access to the wc. The kitchen/breakfast room with Fired Earth tiled flooring has an AGA as well as a separate Miele microwave/oven and grill, built in dishwasher and large fridge/freezer. The island unit provides extra preparation space. There is direct access into the rear garden through double glass doors leading to a pretty private courtyard area and then onto the orangery.
The more formal dining room has some partial wooden panelling and exposed beams which leads through to the reception hall with pretty Victorian fireplace, with access to the sitting room which could also be used as a study as is furnished with built in cupboards and a wood burning stove. Bifold doors lead through to the larger drawing room with lovely stone fireplace which is open plan to the orangery.
On the first floor is the principal bedroom with separate dressing room and en suite bathroom, there are a further two bedrooms (one en suite) and family bathroom. On the second floor are two bedrooms and a sitting room/study area ideal for a growing family.
There is a triple bay garage with sauna, shower room and WC on the ground floor with living accommodation above, consisting of kitchen, bedroom and garden room. There is direct access to the indoor pool from here which is beautifully situated to rear of the house with bifold doors leading out onto the southwest facing terrace. This would be ideal for an au pair or extended family.
Gardens to the rear are fully landscaped with mature trees and shrubs providing several private seating areas and entertaining spaces to take advantage of the sun throughout the day. Access to the front is via electric wrought iron gates which leads to a paved drive with space to park several cars.
