Features and description

Foggathorpe House is a truly stunning Grade II listed family home dating back to circa 1740 with approximately 5000 sq ft of internal accommodation. Not only is the main house substantial but there are also an old dairy which has been partly converted, a double garage and a brick built store. The old dairy could be used as an annex for family or as a holiday let to generate further income. If you are looking for outside space then you will not be disappointed as the property has lovely formal manicured gardens. It is not very often that such impressive properties come to the market, so an early viewing is highly recommended to avoid disappointment.



Driving up to the property you will notice cast iron gates which open to a circular parking area at the front of the house. There is a second gated access that leads to the rear of the property where there is a parking for multiple cars.



Entering the property through the front door you find yourself in a spacious entrance hall with high ceilings and a long corridor beyond which provides access to the ground floor accommodation. The drawing room is the first room you enter on the right, this is a large room that can be used as one or in two parts. There is an open fire with a slate hearth and a set of timber double doors that open out to the garden. To the other side of the hallway is the main living room. Again this is a good size and benefits from an open fire at its centre. At the rear of the property there is a snug which has a substantial log burner, the perfect room to relax in the colder winter months.



To the other side of the property is the versatile open plan kitchen/dining/garden room which has solid wood flooring throughout. The garden room has glass to all sides, two Velux roof lights, double doors and a single door that open to the garden beyond. This room is the perfect place to sit and enjoy the sun in the summer months. The dining area has a log burner at its centre and space for a good sized table and chairs. The kitchen has an L shaped worktop which incorporates a double Belfast sink and solid wood drainer. There are a range of appliances including an Aga, Neff oven and dishwasher. In addition there is central island with a solid stone worktop that doubles up as a breakfast bar. There are two utility rooms one of which has a cloakroom within it, whilst the other is at the rear of the house and has a door that opens to the enclosed courtyard.



To the first floor there are five large double bedrooms, two of which benefit from en-suite bathrooms. There is also a separate family bathroom. Moving up to the second floor you will find the sixth double bedroom, a separate shower room with a w/c and a large attic storage space.



Externally there is a brick built store perfect for the storage of gardening paraphernalia and a double garage with timber double doors. The old dairy which has a kitchen/living area (not fitted), cloakroom with w/c and two bedrooms. To the front of the dairy is a lovely kitchen garden perfect for growing produce. The main garden is substantial and beautifully maintained with attractive flowers, mature trees and shrubs.
