Description
The Castle House is a quintessential Georgian home enjoying a private position with the most glorious views of the River Severn and the immediate escarpment. The property has an array of period features together with a wealth of natural charm, warmth and character. Principally built of mellow brick and set under a pitched tiled roof,the accommodation is staged over three floors and equates to 4,185 sq. ft of traditionally styled living space.
Entered by way of a spacious reception hall, the layout lends itself to a relaxed lifestyle with well-proportioned receptions rooms, all of which are in good decorative order. The splendid sitting room enjoys a dual aspect with attractive views over the garden and beyond. The drawing room has an interconnecting door to the supporting accommodation, whilst the dining room leads to the outstanding kitchen / family room.
Arguably the heart of the home, it is fitted with a comprehensive range of units, cabinetry, an AGA, and a striking central bar(which incorporates a well). Oak ceiling beams complement the vaulted ceiling, both adding to the theatre of the room and overall appeal. A natural opening leads to the dining / entertaining space, which has French doors opening to the sun terrace together with full-height windows. In addition there is a butler's pantry which has a pedestrian door opening to the side elevation.
The first floor consists of three double bedrooms and a family bathroom. Each bedroom has wardrobe / hanging space, are in good decorative order and enjoy far-reaching views. Furthermore, there is potential for a second bathroom. The second floor offers two further double bedrooms and a useful attic/storage room. Similarly, there is further potential for a bathroom on this floor. The cellar is accessed from the reception hall and provides excellent storage capability.
The supporting accommodation lends itself to multi generational living and/or supports the ability to be used as an income generating rental. In brief it consists of: an open plan sitting room / kitchenette, shower room and a spacious double bedroom.
The gardens and land/mini woodland are a fabulous extension of the property, all of which have been lovingly attended to by the current vendors. Principally laid to lawn, interspersed with a selection of mature trees, decorative beds, herbaceous borders and established hedgerow. There are a number of idyllic seating areas, all of which capture the glorious views, together with an array of themed areas and walking paths. The field is separate to the orchard and supports the ability to keep livestock. Furthermore, there is a summer house at the rear of the formal garden.
