INTRODUCTION
Nestled away on the edge of the Howardian Hills is the beautifully restored Grade II listed Old Coach House. From striking open-plan living spaces to grand entertaining rooms, the property has a striking presence sitting in a c-shape. Distinctive original features preserve the remarkable historical character showcased throughout.
The reception rooms flow naturally between informal living and formal dining areas offering a set up perfectly suited to versatile and flexible family life. The breakfast kitchen welcomes everyday living and benefits from an AGA, which leads into an impressive double-height grand gallery, formerly the chapel, featuring intricately carved wooden doors and arched windows that provide a wonderful sense of volume and light. The rich history of the property is woven through a labyrinth of staircases and corridors, balconies, oak flooring, and huge fire places.
Upstairs, the accommodation is thoughtfully arranged into well-defined bedroom suites with en-suite bathrooms, each occupying its own area of privacy and seclusion with views overlooking the surrounding gardens ideal for both family and hosting guests.
Outside there is an immediate sense of peace and tranquility. The formal grounds are well-distinguished yet meticulously maintained, landscaped beautifully and elegantly framed with rows of pleached hornbeam trees bordered by box hedging, whilst the main house wraps around a large gated courtyard. There are outbuildings for storage or garage use along with ample private parking.
The clock tower is also a unique architectural feature of the property's heritage, once serving as a practical and decorative element.
The Old Coach House not only represents an admirably distinctive family home, but one that is equipped to entertain to impress on a truly grand scale.
