A stylish and beautifully restored Georgian home, situated on the edge of this sought after village.

Description

Newleaze House is a striking Grade II listed Georgian property, situated on the edge of the sought-after village of Olveston. Built around 1814, this charming home has been thoughtfully and sympathetically restored by the current owners, blending the timeless elegance of a Georgian residence with modern comforts and standards.

The property is accessed through a welcoming porch, leading into an impressive reception hall that spans the full depth of the ground floor. To the right, you'll find a spacious dining room with a French oak floor, a woodburning stove, dual aspect windows, and original sash windows with wooden shutters. This versatile space can also serve as an additional sitting room. Adjacent to the dining room is a utility room and a ground-floor bathroom.

To the left of the hall lies the sitting room, again featuring a woodburning stove, dual aspect windows, and French oak flooring. This room is connected to the kitchen/breakfast room, which offers flexibility and could serve as the primary dining room. The kitchen is fitted with a central island and breakfast bar, a copper backsplash above the cooker, a Villeroy and Boch Belfast sink, two integral Neff cookers, and a number of bespoke oak work surfaces. Additionally, there is an alcove with gas and electric supplies to accommodate an AGA. The kitchen also boasts high-end appliances and a tiled floor. Adjacent to the kitchen is the garden room, recently restored with hardwood oak and toughened double-glazed glass. Double doors lead directly into the garden.

Upstairs, the first-floor landing leads to three generously-sized double bedroom suites, each featuring fitted wardrobes and offering beautiful garden and rural views. The landing area has been designed to maximize natural light and includes space for a study area overlooking the front garden, which could be converted into an additional room if desired. The master bedroom suite is a particular highlight, complete with an en-suite bathroom featuring both a shower and a bath. All bathrooms in the home have been tastefully renovated to a high standard. Additionally, there is a studio room currently used as an art studio, which could serve a variety of purposes and is equipped with plumbing for a utility room.
The second floor is home to three further spacious double bedrooms, each with its own en-suite bathroom. These rooms are accessed from another large landing area, which could easily be used as a second study space. Like the bedrooms below, these rooms benefit from lovely garden and rural views. An attic is also accessible from the second-floor landing.

Outside:
Newleaze House is approached via a sweeping gravel driveway, providing ample parking to the side of the property. A wooden gate offers access to additional parking areas to the front and side of the house. These landscaped areas are perfect for entertaining. Beyond the parking area is a productive kitchen garden with a greenhouse. The property sits in approximately 4.79 acres, with a large, level lawn to the front, bordered by trees and shrubs, providing an ideal space for family activities and outdoor entertaining. At the entrance to the driveway, there is a substantial area of well-maintained woodland, and a small paddock is located to the left.

The property's southeast-facing facade and expansive grounds make it a perfect blend of elegance, functionality and period charm.
