Tewkesbury Road, The Leigh, Gloucester, Gloucestershire, GL19

Evington Hill Farm is an historic and charming country home set within a substantial plot of jut over 4 acres. Originally a Manor Court House, the main property is believed to date back to circa 1580 with later additions.

The property has been lovingly maintained and the appeal internally is the period detail you would expect of a property of its era with exposed beams, an inglenook fireplace and flagstone flooring. The accommodation is both practical and versatile and offers huge potential.

The accommodation is split into two areas, a main house and then three self-contained annexes perfect for an au pair, dependent relative or income generation.

Main House - Arranged around a central reception hall the main house comprises a family room, dining room opening onto a sitting room, kitchen and lovely orangery with under floor heating and views over the garden. In addition is a conservatory, utility, and cloakroom.

From the entrance hall, a staircase leads to the master bedroom with en suite and two additional bedrooms, one with an en suite and the other bedroom is served by a further shower room. Three further bedrooms are accessed from the main staircase all with en suite shower rooms.

In addition to the main house are three cottages which have been successfully let over recent years, generating an income. The ideal and palpable purpose for the cottages is for holiday let. Of worthy note is the planning consent (that has now lapsed) that was granted to convert the three cottages and adjoining barn into four houses, offering exceptional development opportunities, under planning reference 10/01166/FUL. Alterations to existing residential unit and holiday cottage to form three separate dwellings. Conversion of residential outbuilding to provide one live/work unit.

Set beautifully within its plot, surrounded by mature formal gardens, this private setting has a real sense of space, with an expanse of lawn to the southern side of the plot and a vista to open countryside. The property is approached via an electric gate with a driveway leading to a parking area for numerous cars.

To the edge of the property and within the grounds are a variety of outbuildings including a large 'L' shaped barn, an original stable (store) and a smaller traditional red brick barn with conversion potential and a useful steel frame portal barn also with conversion potential (subject to the necessary consents). The site also boasts a hard tennis court and a corse fish pond.

Services: Mains water and electricity. Private drainage. LPG heating. The property has 16 photovoltaic cells producing 4 kilowatts of power.
