Description
Priors Mesne occupies a superbly private location, accessed via a long driveway flanked by mature lime trees. The house is well laid out to provide excellent entertaining space. When entering the house your attention is drawn to the 19th century square staircase with twisted balusters and heavy handrail, original tiled floor and exceptional ceiling height. The principal rooms are all approached off the entrance hall. The drawing room is large enough to also accommodate a dining table and has large, bowed sash windows, original cornicing and a large stone fireplace. Both the sitting room and study benefit from the exceptional views over the Severn estuary. The kitchen is the hub of the house, with an oil- fired AGA, bespoke kitchen units, underfloor heating, a log burner and bi-folding doors that create an open conservatory room leading into the garden with far reaching views over the estuary.
On the first floor, the principal bedroom is light and spacious, with wonderful views and a large ensuite bathroom with a dressing room. There are four further bedrooms on this floor, two of which are ensuite and two share a “Jack and Jill” bathroom. Each room has exceptional ceiling heights and views over the grounds.
The second floor is well laid out for children, with a further four bedrooms and a family bathroom. With the house not being listed, there is scope to remodel the layout.
On the whole, Priors Mesne is a truly exceptional family home offering practical and charming living space whilst retaining its period charm.
Condition
Please note that the current owners had planned on carrying out extensive refurbishment work. Part of the investigation while planning the works required various test holes and observation points to be created and the house is empty of furniture. Therefore the current presentation is different to the images shown in this brochure. Planning permission has recently been granted for replacement of the current single storey kitchen and breakfast room as per the “Vale Conservatories” CGI images.
The Courtyard
Much of the land was previously a Deer Park, and the courtyard once home to the gamekeeper has now been developed into three highly successful holiday flats.
Garden Cottage is on the ground floor, as well as a gym, laundry, workshops, stable, storerooms and old coach bay.
Both the Keepers Cottage and Coach House are on the first floor.
The Courtyard benefits from a second driveway, making it totally private from the house.
Outbuildings
There is a large agricultural steel framed building within the grounds, a Dutch barn with stabling for four horses, lambing pens and wood stores.
Grounds
Highly protected to the north and east by rising woodland, the terraced gardens at Priors Mesne are truly spectacular and are made up of mature trees, specimen plants and herbaceous borders.
There are extensive greenhouses and raised beds looking over the swimming pool area which is heated by an air source heat pump. The tennis court is in a secluded position to the West of the house.
The parkland below the house has two ponds and includes horse chestnut, lime, oak and copper beech trees to name a few. The rest of the land is laid down to grazing with fenced fields interspersed with mature woodland.
