7 bedroom detached house for sale
Key information
Property description & features
A rare detached period farmhouse in a 3-acre setting backing onto farmland, only a mile from the outskirts of town. Nowton Lodge dates back to the early 17th Century, built of traditional timber-framed construction with rendered elevations underneath a new slate roof, with an attractive red-brick saw-tooth chimney stack, which has just been repaired with a new flue liner. The roof is currently being replaced and insulated, and of course, the scaffolding will be removed once this work has been completed.
The current ground-floor accommodation offers generously proportioned and adaptable living, with planning permission for an extension, and some scope to remodel and improve. On the ground-floor there is an entrance hall and elegant triple-aspect drawing room, a large double-aspect living room with both sitting and dining areas, cloakroom, AGA kitchen/breakfast, pantry and boiler room, boot room and office.
On the first floor is a large double-aspect master bedroom with en suite bathroom, and two further double bedrooms served by the family bathroom and shower room, whilst on the second floor are three further attic bedrooms.
Outside
The property is approached via private access to a sweeping carriage driveway in front of the house. The grounds are well screened on three sides and laid predominantly to grass and paddocks, interspaced with a number of mature shrubs and trees. Within the grounds is a range of brick-built outbuildings providing good workshop and storage space, in total the grounds extend to approximately 3 acres.
