Description
Description
West Foscote House was built in 1850 and known as West Foscott Farm for much of its history. It was built as part of a grand redevelopment across the Neeld estate by landowner Joseph Neeld who adopted a distinct architectural identity on his estate which has come to be recognised as the Neeld-Thomson style featuring picturesque detailing with barge-boards, gables and porches. Grade II listed, West Foscote House's impressive architecture and symmetry boasts ornate gables and a large bell tower with sundial. The property is rurally located near the village of Grittleton and set amongst 4 acres of gardens and grounds.
The accommodation is extensive with superb ceiling height throughout arranged principally over two floors and extends to over 5,000 sq.ft internally. This includes an elegant drawing room, dining room, family room and farmhouse kitchen. Across from a secondary kitchen and a study, there is an excellent triple-aspect billiard room. A rear entrance lobby provides access down to the cellar. An elegant galleried staircase leads to the first floor where there are six generous bedrooms and four accompanying bathrooms. A secondary staircase provides versality and scope to utilise a wing of the accommodation as a self-contained 2 bedroom annexe.
Enjoying a south-easterly aspect, the house sits within large, well-established formal gardens interspersed with mature specimen trees whilst there is further kitchen gardens to one side and an orchard. Entered through a five-bar gate, a driveway to the side leads to the rear parking forecourt and a range of single storey stables, outbuildings and storage. An adjoining 2 acre paddock provides further opportunities for the budding equestrian or smallholding.
