Description
Built in 1831 for the Duke of Marlborough's gunsmith, this stunning and tranquil two-storey property, with its exquisite south-facing ashlar stone façade, grand staircase and expansive York stone terrace is accessed via a private drive and is bathed in natural light throughout from its original Georgian windows, which offer beautiful views over the terrace and garden. The home exudes charm and character, with high ceilings and many original features including working shutters and striking open fireplaces with Adam-style mantelpieces.
The generous proportions of the rooms allow for open, airy spaces, while the abundance of light that pours through the windows reaches to every corner of the house. The principal rooms and garden terrace face south, allowing you to enjoy the sun throughout the day, making it perfect for entertaining or relaxing both indoors and out.
