House For Sale £1,595,000
An historical Grade II Listed wing of a fine Georgian mansion, Thomas Sheriff Place boasts Saxon origins and numerous royal, aristocratic, and influential owners over its 1,300-year history. The distinguished property, first referred to in 727 AD by its Saxon name meaning 'high clearing', may not look its age but that is because the mansion was saved from dereliction in the late 1990s and redeveloped into three separate dwellings.
Approached from the road through wrought iron electric gates, the 1 km tarmac drive sweeps through the parkland until you see the distinguished façade of this grand country house. Internally, the property offers elegant and well-proportioned family accommodation over four floors, with all the comforts and conveniences required for 21st century family living, together with the characteristic features and style reminiscent of its origins.
The secure situation and manageable grounds make the property ideal as a weekend retreat or a lock-up and leave base in a most idyllic and convenient situation. Thomas Sherriff House has a grand drawing room, kitchen/breakfast room, principal bedroom suite with dressing room and en-suite, plus four further bedrooms with three further bathrooms (two en-suite).
There is also access to 22 acres of glorious parkland on the private estate and stunning views towards the Hog's Back, a double garage, allocated parking and its own private garden in additional to the communal grounds.
