Elds Gorse
Thought to have been designed by Swiss architects, Elds Gorse is an ornate period house taking on a European design with several high gables, large windows and balconies. The central hallway within the house still bears the coats of arms of the 26 Cantons of Switzerland which is a rare historical feature, whilst the remainder of the house still retains many period features including high ceilings, deep skirting, original doors and feature archways. The house itself is now in need of modernisation and upgrading, but offers the opportunity to create a highly desirable home.

Entered via a covered portico, the wide and original front door opens to a porch area which in turn leads into the vast central hallway. The hallway is double height with floor to ceiling window, whilst there is a galleried landing above. The sitting room is off one side of the hallway and offers dual aspect views as well as a wood burning stove. The spacious drawing room is a bright space with door to the south facing terrace as well as wood burning stove, with the adjacent dining room being larger still and retaining its original recessed archways. A doorway leads off the hallway and the dining room to the kitchen, which is fitted with a range of wall and floor cabinetry. There is a white enamelled AGA as well large window with delightful views of the garden. The adjacent breakfast room is an excellent additional space with plenty of room for informal dining, whilst the glass roofed garden room with sliding doors to the side lawn is an excellent everyday living space. There is a utility room and guest WC located off the rear hallway, with a rear door leading to the driveway and outbuildings.

The turned staircase rises from the hallway to a galleried landing which offers access to all first floor accommodation. The principal bedroom is a generous size and is flanked by a dressing room, whilst also being the only bedroom to have access to the first floor balcony which wraps around the southern façade of the house. An en suite shower room can also be found off the principal bedroom. There is a guest bedroom with en suite, whilst there is a further two double bedrooms and family bathroom on the first floor. A further staircase rises to the large second floor sitting area, with two double bedrooms and family bathroom off, as well as a large balcony with exceptional views.

Gardens, grounds and outbuildings
A winding driveway rises up to Elds Gorse, passing along the front paddock which adjoins the house. The driveway opens to a large gravelled parking area, and also leads to a long outbuilding which is divided into four sections providing plenty of garden storage.

The gardens wrap around the house itself and are beautifully landscaped. There are several lawned areas, interspersed by herbaceous beds and specimen trees. There is a pretty kitchen garden with large greenhouse, whilst an orchard extends the width of the plot between the house and the front paddock.

In all the plot totals approx. 4.84 acres.
