Description
Description
10 Brettingham Court is the largest of a number of properties which form an attractive courtyard around a central lawned area. This adjoins the garden and parkland of Hinton House, a fine country mansion which until 1968 was part of an estate belonging to the Earls of Poulett which extended to several hundred hectares. No. 10, originally designed by Matthew Brettingham, was remodelled by Sir John Soane at the end of the 18th century. The property is listed Grade II and is understood to have been formerly the office and residence of the Estate Manager.
During the 20th century the building was converted into mews style residences and No.10 can be approached either through an elegant archway, or separately to the rear. No. 10 occupies the south east corner, the building being built of a warm coloured Ham stone and providing spacious accommodation over two floors, also with a substantial vaulted basement. From the courtyard access, steps lead up to double doors which open into the reception hall with stairs to the first floor, a cloakroom and access to the lower ground floor. Off the hall is the dining room with hard wood floor, high ceilings and pocket doors opening to reveal the kitchen. The kitchen is well appointed, also with hard wood flooring and a central island unit. A pair of elegant glazed doors open to the rear garden. Further along the hall is the snug with fireplace and book cases, hard wood floor and beyond that is the fine drawing room with large sash windows and French doors flooding the room with light and making the most of the lovely views over parkland and Hinton House. On the first floor is a bright landing leading to a spacious principal suite with a dressing room and en suite shower room also with elevated views of the gardens and parkland. There are 3 further bedrooms, all en suite, bedroom 4 doubling as a study.
Back on the ground floor a trap door from the hall opens to a timber staircase leading down to the extensive brick vaulted basement. Currently this space includes a wine tasting room and a useful workshop/storage area. There is access from here to the garden.
Outside
From the guest parking area to the north, access is via the old archway which opens into an immaculately kept communal garden area incorporating a neatly mown circular lawn. Immediately outside No.10 is a small private terrace with steps up to the front door. To the east a separate driveway provides access to parking and a triple garage with integrated pedestrian door to the garden. Attached to the rear of the garage is an attractive studio room with a kitchenette and shower room. Wooden steps down from here open into a splendid Orangery room with elegant stone floor, glazed ceiling lantern and floor to ceiling windows flooding the room with light. A gate from the parking area gives access to the garden where a gravelled path leads to a spacious, old stone terrace outside the kitchen on the east side and this wraps around to the south side, also providing steps down to the basement. In the other direction the path leads to steps and down to another terrace immediately outside the Orangery. The gardens have been thoughtfully landscaped, with mature trees and shrubs providing colour and interest, together with a parterre and box hedging. To the south is a spacious level lawn with attractive estate railings providing the boundary to the open parkland beyond.
