Description

Southey House is a late 18th Century Grade II listed family home displaying immense character and charm and standing within established gardens with formal lawns and a kitchen garden. The property has been in the same family ownership for many years and has evolved during their tenure and provides for a comfortable environment with accommodation principally over two levels.

Constructed from rendered elevations and with ornate Sand stone bow bays with integral sashes and under a pitched slate tiled roof. Notable details include the fireplace in the drawing room and principal bedroom which are ornate and are by Masons Ironstone.

Principal rooms are spacious and within the drawing room and kitchen/breakfast room views extend over the immediate gardens. The property is approached via a reception hall with a wooden herringbone floor and a rising staircase to the first floor, whilst access to the extensive cellars is below. The drawing room enjoys a particularly advantageous view of the gardens from its bay windows and adjacent is the kitchen/breakfast room with a matching view. The kitchen includes a comprehensive array of fitted wall and base units with polished granite work surfaces. The dining room also provides a degree of formality and is situated to the front of the property.

On the first floor there are three generous bedrooms which are served by two bathrooms and a separate WC. The principal bedroom has not only an en suite bathroom but also a dressing area.

The gardens are established and have been lovingly enjoyed by the family during their extensive period of occupation and include a large lawned area, heavily planted flower borders and beyond a kitchen garden with fruit trees and vegetable patches. Of particular note is the recent planning consent for gated off road car parking. Ref 25/10207/LA
