House For Sale £1,250,000
Description
1 the Park is an impressive period house set within delightful, generous and private gardens, situated in the heart of the quaint village of Kingscote with a quintessential English view of the neighbouring Church. The property, which was originally the Coach House to Kingscote Park, has been sympathetically extended in recent years and now provides spacious accommodation, arranged principally over two floors which extends to around 2,855 sq.ft. The whole house has a welcoming feel and the size of the two reception rooms with their high ceilings, makes it ideal for entertaining. Both of these principal rooms have fireplaces with wood burning stoves. At the hub of the house is the kitchen/breakfast room which opens directly onto a sunny entertaining terrace. Newly refitted kitchen features an AGA, peninsula unit and walk-in larder. On the first floor, there are four good sized double bedrooms (two with vaulted ceilings) and two bathrooms, one of which was recently updated as a shower room. The extension has been configured so that it could be used as a master suite with bedroom, dressing room and en suite shower room. A large landing area is currently used as a study but could be converted to form an additional bedroom if required. On the second floor, there is a small room and access to the attic.
The extensive gardens are a major feature and extend to around half an acre enjoying lovely views to the church and benefitting from a high degree of privacy. The gardens are divided into separate 'rooms' creating an idyllic setting for the house with lawns, a kitchen garden, wooded area and strategic sun terraces. A large patio terrace adjoins the side of the property complete with a sheltered cover enabling the area to be enjoyed in all-weather types. Within the garden there are two sheds, one with power, and a greenhouse also with power connected. To the front of the house is a gravelled driveway and private parking area for several cars.
