Pullington House is a stunning example of a Georgian house, believed to date back to 1823. It was built on the site of the original house and occupied by the Neve family. In recent times, the original granary was incorporated into the house and the current owners have completed a stunning refurbished in keeping with the era but with added style and sophistication.

As you would expect from any fine Georgian residence, there are high ceilings, wooden floors, wood panelling and large windows with shutters. The accommodation comprises an entrance porch, a reception hall, superb drawing room with open fire and bay consisting of three triple sash windows and a study area. The beautiful newly fitted bespoke inframe kitchen is complimented with marble worktops, breakfast centre island with floor lights, pantry cupboard (with backlights) and an Everhot energy efficient double range cooker. There are double doors opening onto the garden, perfect for al fresco dining. Just beyond the kitchen is the ambient dining area with part vaulted ceiling, generous rear hall and utility room with space/plumbing for a washing machine and tumble dryer. There is an extremely useful pantry store and an inner hall with boot room and integral door into the double garage. There is also a cloakroom together with stairs to the generous family/cinema room (this whole area could be sectioned off for an annexe if so required and subject to any necessary consents).

On the first floor, the elegant landing leads to the spacious master bedroom with bay window from which you can enjoy some tremendous countryside views. There are three further double bedrooms, a luxurious family bathroom and a separate shower room.

On the second floor there is a double bedroom with TV room, a bathroom and an attic storage room.

Outside the property, there is an entrance to the cellar. This would have been the wine cellar for the house and could be tanked to create additional habitable space if required.

The property is approached via a shared private driveway leading to the double garage. An electric gate opens onto a gravel driveway which sweeps around to the front door and adjoins the private enclosed lawn. The whole plot measures about 0.64 of an acre and wraps around the front and side of the property with mature trees, plants and shrubs and patio seating areas. There are some simply stunning countryside views all around.
