Description

Sandford House is a lovely Victorian country residence standing in excess of five acres of ground in Lower Common on the edge of Aylburton village. It is a home of much character with outstanding original period features and bright well proportioned rooms, its origins believed to date back to late 1700. The house is beautifully presented, tastefully furnished and decorated. The accommodation offers excellent flexibility. Adjoining the main dwelling is a two room wing which has potential to create a one bedroom ground floor annex. A separate former stable/coach house has been converted to a smart two story annex / studio or home office. There are a number of useful stone outbuildings, ideal for small livestock or even potential conversion. The ground is divided mainly into two large fenced paddocks and private shady woodland of exotic specimen trees and a delightful wildlife pond bounded by a natural brook. A beautiful property, perfect for extended family living and within easy reach of major rail and road networks.

Fruit trees include apple, damson and sloe. The land surrounds the garden and is divided into two main paddocks.
