Description

St Vincents is an imposing Grade II listed Georgian country residence with well-proportioned accommodation featuring high ceilings, sash windows, attractive period fireplaces, column radiators, some exposed timbers, decorative coving and ceiling roses, and charming window seats. Also of note are the magnificent gardens and grounds which predominantly enjoy a southerly aspect and have been carefully designed and maintained to create an impressive backdrop, providing year round colour and interest, together with a high degree of privacy.

St Vincents Cottage is accessed via an independent drive off the main entrance and provides a four bedroom detached cottage with an accompanying Victorian Coach House, ideal for generating an income or providing guest/staff accommodation.

The established grounds amount to about 20.3 acres and provide versatility to be utilised for the grazing of livestock or recreational/equestrian use if desired.

Impressive primary reception rooms comprise a striking sitting room and dining room, both with dual aspects and feature fireplaces, and enjoying views over the gardens. A snug incorporates a bow window and attractive fireplace and an office provides a view to the front, both providing additional reception space.

The kitchen is fitted with a range of wall and base units with some integral appliances and incorporates a pantry, with an adjoining breakfast area opening to the dining/living area.

A utility room provides additional storage and space for appliances, and incorporates a bank of built-in cupboards and a cloakroom.

There is access from the rear hallway to a substantial cellar which has previously been utilised for storage.

From the magnificent principal entrance hall a striking staircase rises to the first floor and a spacious galleried landing with bespoke wallpapered panelling.

The impressive principal bedroom has a feature fireplace and charming view over the gardens, with steps descending to a shower room and the third bedroom, which could be utilised as a dressing room to create a principal suite if required.

There are four further bedrooms, and a family bathroom and separate W.C. complete the first floor.

An additional staircase rises to the second floor and two additional double bedrooms, both served by a shower room and would be ideal as a guest suite.

St Vincents is approached over a sweeping treelined drive, culminating at the rear of the house and detached garage, and providing ample off road parking. The drive continues to the side of the property past an area of lawn and a raised vegetable garden, through wooden gates where a gravel driveway continues to the front of the property, provides a turning circle edged with lavender borders.

The magnificent gardens are predominantly laid to formal lawns interspersed with well-stocked flower beds, shrubs and majestic specimen trees, and are partly enclosed by a striking brick wall. A meandering stream runs adjacent to the southern boundary and swathes of established woodland flank the perimeters providing a degree of privacy. A belt of pastureland runs to the eastern boundary and benefits from separate road access.

St Vincents Cottage is approached over a spur off the main entrance and comprises a four bedroom detached home with a modern kitchen, bathroom, shower room and W.C, with a part walled garden, a terrace to the front and rear, detached three bay Coach House providing ample garaging and storage space, together with a separate open bay garden store.
