Description
Description
A sensational period property with far reaching rural views, landscaped gardens and outbuildings.
Beautifully appointed and recently extended, New Quarry House is situated in an elevated position at the end of a private, driveway with iron railed fencing and lined with lime trees.
The property enjoys sensational far reaching rural views over the (approx.) seven acres of landscaped gardens, grounds and paddocks, and surrounding countryside. Built in 1882, New Quarry House is a triumph of classic period design and features, blended with contemporary living styles to create a spacious family home.
The property is positioned centrally within its land, with immediate south facing private gardens and swimming pool. A courtyard of buildings currently offers storage and parking, but could be adapted into secondary accommodation with planning for conversion approved. (2022/0951/FUL)
Reception Rooms:
Entering the property from the eastern elevation, a grand entrance, stone porch and front door open into an impressive tiled entrance hall.
The original reception rooms enjoy sensational views over the surrounding countryside, with fantastic proportions and high ceilings continued throughout the property, in turn flooding the home with an abundance of natural light.
To the front of the house sit the main reception rooms, both enjoying dual aspect views over the gardens and surrounding countryside. Both the Drawing and Dining Room provide fabulous proportions with high ceilings, again, with an abundance of natural light. The original shutters have been carefully restored alongside centre-piece, open fireplaces in both rooms to combine period features with spacious, family living.
The hallway continues past the study and utility room to the sitting room, another delightful space with large windows and open fireplace. This leads through into the most spectacular kitchen/dining/sitting room which was an addition in 2017, providing a splendid ‘hub of the home’.
Family & Entertaining Space:
The open plan kitchen provides plenty of storage within the hand built, bespoke solid wood kitchen designed and made by Intone Kitchens. A under counter fridge and dishwasher are integrated into the base units, paired with wall units and a pantry cupboard. The electric Aga completes the kitchen area, with two hobs. A breakfast island combined with ample worktop space provides additional preparation space and informal dining. This spacious entertaining and family room, continues into a dining and sitting area, where the rural views can be enjoyed through bi-folding doors onto the private terrace area, creating the perfect space for alfresco dining and entertaining. Multiple Velux windows and a large lantern floods the room with light.
Access to the garage is provided via the kitchen which was designed for direct access into the kitchen, where the adjoining boiler room is currently used for additional storage.
The back door provides a secondary access into the rear hallway and through to the kitchen, and work from home space above. A downstairs W.C. completes the ground floor, with a cellar providing additional storage on the lower ground floor.
First Floor Accommodation:
From the entrance hall, the grand staircases ascends to the first floor where spacious, characterful, square accommodation is mirrored and the proportions and high ceilings continue.
The principle bedroom enjoys sensational, dual aspect views from the elevated position, complete with built in wardrobes and an en suite bathroom. The bedroom provides a feeling of calm and space, with plenty of space for large items of furniture.
Bedroom two is another spacious double bedroom, enjoying the same rural views. Bedrooms three and four also enjoy views of the wrap around gardens and paddocks, bedroom three looking over the east and bedroom four to the west. A spacious family bathroom is fitted with both bath and shower units and enjoys views to the east and built in storage.
Gardens & Grounds:
New Quarry House sits centrally within its grounds which are mainly laid to lawn with mature shrubs, well stocked boarders and beds. A newly installed private terrace and garden area designed by Nicola Oakey, adjoins the house from the kitchen/dining/sitting room, perfect for entertaining and enjoying the sunsets.
To the north of the house is a walled garden housing the swimming pool and summer house, providing a private and secluded area of the garden to enjoy. To the front (west) and side (south) of the house the gardens are wrapped by iron railed fenced paddocks which are being grazed.
The property extends to approx. 7 acres in total, surrounded by rural countryside used for grazing and arable farming, there are also several footpaths and bridleways within easy access of the property, for walkers and horse riders to enjoy. Routes can lead to Castle Bytham, Clipsham village itself or south to Pickworth.
New Quarry House benefits from a fantastic array of outbuildings providing storage in beautifully constructed stone barns. Situated to the North East of the main house, is the U shaped outbuildings and courtyard. The property benefits from 7 internal stables which were previously used for housing cart horses, working the farm. A tack room and two additional small stores provide outside, dry storage whilst two large barns provide flexible space to be adapted to meet any buyers needs. Completing the outbuildings is a triple bay cart shed for undercover parking and a single garage housing the oil tank.
Please note that planning permission exists to develop the outbuildings into one five bedroom, residential dwelling, to remain as ancillary accommodation to the main house. 2022/0951/FUL planning ref.
