Description

Newcombes is a substantial Georgian house, with later extensions, set in about 6 acres of beautifully maintained gardens and grounds, enjoying a wonderful south facing aspect, and providing a most peaceful and private setting.

The house, which is Grade II Listed has been a cherished family home for nearly 27 years and is offered to the market for the first time since the late 1990's. Dating from the mid-19th Century with later extensions, the house provides a versatile layout over two floors, extending to about 5,000 sq ft.

In addition to the accommodation in the main house, there is a substantial former coach house and workshop building, with cobbled court yard, a water tower, and modern garaging attached. The building has potential for conversion to a variety of different uses, subject to the necessary consents.

From the kitchen/breakfast room, there is access to a back kitchen and conservatory with access to a sitting room/study and staircase to a first floor bedroom and bathroom.

On the first floor, there is a wide landing, with doors to five bedrooms and a study. There are two shared shower rooms and a bathroom, which links with the principal bedroom suite.

Outside, there is a gravelled parking and turning area in front and to the side of the house, punctuated by an ornamental pond and fountain. A series of level lawns, flanked by mature herbaceous borders, shrubs, trees and ornamental hedging, lead away to the south of the building, within which there is a barbeque terrace and pergola.

There is Victorian greenhouse and potting shed to the east of the house, in front of which is a spectacular parterre and kitchen garden, with orchard beyond. From here, paths lead to a former stable building with tack room and turn-out yard, currently used as kennelling.
