Description

Enjoying a most beautiful sylvan setting, a detached 4 bedroom former lodge house with no near neighbours and a separate 2 bedroom bungalow. In additional there are numerous excellent garages and outbuildings, set with 2.4 acres of magnificent mature gardens and grounds.

The property was originally built as a lodge house to the adjoining Colquite Estate. With only open countryside and Forestry Commission owned woodland for neighbours, the property is completely hidden from sight behind an attractive high walled boundary, with impressive wrought iron entrance gates providing access. This extensive property enjoys considerable privacy and perhaps far more overall than might be expected.

A sweeping driveway meanders its way through the picturesque grounds, leading to the large courtyard and the front of the house. Entered via second set of wrought iron gates, the large courtyard provides parking and turning for numerous cars, as well as access to the main triple garage.

The beautiful and mature gardens and grounds extend to circa 2.4 acres and have been a labour of love and cared for by various owners, over many years and today they provide the most beautiful surroundings and outlook to both the house and the entire property.

The house provides very spacious 4 bedroomed accommodation with 3 of the bedrooms being en-suite and there is a further shower room on the ground floor. There are 3 delightful reception rooms that includes a very spacious 23’ x 21’ Drawing Room, a 15’ x 13’ Dining Room and a 21’ Snug. The Kitchen is open plan to a sizeable Breakfast Room and there are two further very good-sized conservatories. All the reception rooms and bedrooms enjoying fantastic and differing views over the grounds to open woodland and countryside beyond.

Attached to the triple garage, on the opposite side of the courtyard is a detached 2 bedroomed bungalow, that offers great potential for enlarging into the garages, subject to all requisite consents. This offers excellent potential for a two generation family. The current owners have used it as a holiday let for several years, creating a useful income. As well as the 3 garages, the building contains a large workshop and also a large office, providing the ability to work from home. Within various areas of the grounds are further extensive outbuildings that includes a second detached double garage, a converted detached Dove Cote into a useful stone studio with a third single garage within it. There is also a large linear building that provides a garden machinery store, greenhouse, second workshop and storage room.

The gardens and grounds comprise of several areas of lawns around the house with the more hidden and informal areas providing a more wooded feel, that includes numerous magnificent specimen trees. There are a wide variety of flowering shrubs and bushes contained within beautifully stocked beds and borders. They have clearly been planted with great care and and consideration as between them, they provide year round ocular to the gardens.
