We have pleasure in offering to the market this truly individual detached character home occupying an idyllic secluded semi-rural setting within the former grounds of Grade II listed Wiverton Hall. Tastefully renovated and modernised throughout, blending both traditional and contemporary elements and occupying a wonderful plot which as well as having formal gardens offers the unexpected benefit of 3.15 ACRES of grazing and meadow land immediately opposite the property, which creates a delightful and relaxing outdoor space, or potential for equestrian use.
The property was originally completed in 2001, and comprised a thoughtful conversion of a period carriage house offering a versatile level of accommodation which has been more recently reconfigured and tastefully modernised throughout. Involving a considerable programme of improvement to create additional bedroom/study space to the ground floor which allows the property to potentially be utilised as a purely single storey home, ideal for downsizers and also those with dependent relatives who may require single storey living. In addition there are two first floor double bedrooms and ensuite and main bathroom and combined it means that the property offers up to four double bedrooms, and four bath/shower rooms.
This unique home has been tastefully refurbished to a high specification, with a great deal of thought and attention to detail. Finished in Farrow & Ball colours, with contemporary fixtures and fittings, with each room offering its own individuality. There are solid fuels stoves in two of the reception rooms, and potential master suites to both the ground and first floors. As well as the two main reception areas which lead off a stunning central hallway with vaulted ceiling, there is a fantastic breakfast kitchen designed to create a very useable everyday living entertaining space with a range of bespoke traditional style hand painted units, including a butlers pantry and complementing central island with integrated oak breakfast bar and attractive Silestone work surfaces. In addition there are integrated appliances, limestone flooring with under floor heating, and access out into the rear garden.
Overall the accommodation is particularly versatile in its layout and would suit a wide range of prospective purchasers, large enough to accommodate families but alternatively may suit those downsizing from considerably larger dwellings still looking for an excellent level of accommodation which lies in the region of 2,000 sq ft.
In addition the property benefits from replacement woodgrain effect UPVC double glazed windows and oil fired central heating as well as tasteful decoration throughout.
Viewing comes highly recommended to appreciate both the location and accommodation on offer.
