Description
Somercotes House was built in 1885, with a grand and spacious feel with modern conveniences, ideal for day-to-day life and entertaining family and friends. The extensive property offers the opportunity to combine living and working with a self-contained business space, previously used as a dental surgery, or presents a fantastic opportunity to repurpose as an annexe. The land and outbuildings offer huge scope for a variety of uses, including equestrian facilities, and there is excellent potential for further development, if desired (all the above subject to obtaining necessary consents and permissions).
The main residence is arranged over three floors, starting with the basement which provides fantastic storage space and a wine cellar. The extensive ground floor entertainment space is accessed via a large entrance hall and reception hall at the heart of the home with grand sweeping staircase, wood floor and panelling with fitted storage, leading into the formal dining room with fantastically high ceilings and further continuation of period features. Two further reception rooms are mirrored, both with open fireplaces with stone surround, and presented as a living room and more formal drawing room. The sleek kitchen has plenty of space to dine and enjoys premium features and finishes, providing a contemporary environment for cookery and entertainment. There is an conservatory adjacent to the kitchen and a self-contained space, previously set up to be a functioning dental business with surgery room, reception room and office.
Living quarters are generously arranged on the first floor comprising, a dual aspect principal suite with open fireplace and modern en suite bathroom, second bedroom with fireplace and adjoining dressing room with considerable built-in wardrobes, five further well-proportioned bedrooms which share a family bathroom and separate WC, as well as a storage room with sink and worktops, ideal for laundry.
Somercotes House is set within grounds of about 2.17 acres, including a good size gated driveway with ample parking, which also has access to the separate stable block housing two garages, stable and tack room, garden and machine stores, workshop, greenhouse and coal store. The predominantly south facing mature gardens run along the western side and to the rear of the property. There are considerable lawned areas and features a variety of well-established trees and an ornamental pond and a decorative fountain. A large stone paved terrace adjoins the house with seamless access for outside dining and entertaining, and there is a vegetable garden with an impressive brick-based greenhouse and a tennis court.
