4 bedroom detached house for sale

THE PROPERTY
Fenwick Tower is a magnificent and historically significant Grade II Listed country house set within approximately 2.4 acres including formal gardens and paddocks in the midst of the delightful medieval settlement of Fenwick. The original site was the home of the Fenwick family from the 12th century and has, over many years, been rebuilt creating the gorgeous characterful property that exists today. Modernisation has sought to reveal and enhance the many original features that this property boasts and reflect the age of the house and its stunning history creating a spacious and stylish family home. Fenwick Tower is set in a peaceful rural setting with far reaching, open rural views.

A welcoming reception hall leads to a sitting room and a family room both to the front elevation. These comfortable rooms both have attractive characterful fireplaces and enjoy sweeping views over the gardens and to the countryside beyond. Arguably the centre point or hub within this house is the kitchen with its traditional farmhouse appearance incorporating an excellent range of units including an Aga, breakfasting space and room for more formal dining. There is also a utility room and a cloakroom/wc.

To the first floor there are four light and airy double bedrooms with the principal bedroom benefitting from a superb en-suite shower room, whilst the remaining bedrooms are served by the family bathroom.

OUTSIDE
Fenwick Towers sits in delightful gardens that benefit this fantastic rural home, encompassing formal gardens, perfect for alfresco dining and making the very best sundowner venue with spectacular views, a vegetable garden and a grazing paddock. In all the garden and grounds amount to over 2.4 acres.

Adjoining the house is a stone outbuilding which could potentially be developed to offer further accommodation, an independent annexe or an excellent home office, subject to the necessary permissions. The property has its own stable block lying beyond the gardens which includes two loose boxes, a tack room and access to the grazing paddocks.
