"A magnificent Grade II listed historic coach house with expansive gardens and stunning countryside views"
The Property
The Coach House is part of a historic estate with roots that trace back several centuries. The Coach House served as storage and maintenance space for the family’s carriages and horses. The Grade II listed property reflects the Georgian architectural style of Carlton Hall, built from the same stone and with similar attention to detail. This unique property has undergone a recent and comprehensive transformation, sympathetically reimagined as a modern family home, yet it retains its style and heritage features such as exposed beams, original fireplaces and high ceilings.
When you step inside, you’re immediately struck by the grandeur of the double-height entrance hall, currently arranged as a formal dining room. The space features an impressive marble fireplace with a matching surround and elegant, tiled flooring. This hall provides access to the ground floor living spaces, the rear garden, and an original oak staircase that leads up to the first floor and a substantial galleried landing.
To the left, one of the original stables has been transformed into a versatile space, currently serving as a dedicated home office, with its charming stable door still intact. Beyond this, you’ll discover an inviting open-plan kitchen, offering ample space for both seating and dining. Large sash windows flood the room with natural light, featuring charming window seats to enjoy views over the surrounding fields and farmland. The kitchen is beautifully appointed with sleek grey cabinetry and black granite worktops. A traditional green AGA oven takes pride of place in the inglenook fireplace, while a substantial island provides extra worktop space and breakfast bar seating for casual dining. A generous pantry offers designated storage for kitchen supplies, keeping the space organised. The cosy seating area is arranged around a fireplace featuring a contemporary wood-burning stove. The adjoining utility room enhances convenience with additional storage, an integrated oven, microwave, plumbing for a washer, and a separate WC.
To the right of the entrance hall, you’ll find three additional reception rooms along with a generously sized modern shower room. A grand drawing room serves as an elegant formal lounge, while a versatile room provides the ideal setting for a comfortable snug. Additionally, a spacious games room is designed for entertainment and relaxation.
Ascending to the first floor, a split gallery landing leads to practical storage cupboards and five beautifully decorated double bedrooms. Two of these rooms include en-suite bathrooms, while a modern family bathroom serves the remaining three. Each bedroom is characterised by distinctive vaulted ceilings with exposed A-frame trusses enhancing their character and charm. Two of the bedrooms feature hidden mezzanine spaces, perfect for use as private reading nooks or additional storage and accessed by the original ladders that date back to the coach house’s construction. The principal bedroom is particularly inviting with a walk-in dressing room providing added luxury. The well-appointed en-suite boasts a large double-ended bath and a separate corner shower cubicle.
Externally
Access to the property is via a sweeping private drive bordered by estate railings, leading to a gravelled rear yard that offers ample parking for multiple vehicles and a detached garage. With the necessary consent, the garage could be converted into a separate annexe or additional living space.
At the rear, an expansive walled garden offers a serene space to enjoy, featuring paved seating areas near the house, a broad stretch of manicured lawn, and a thriving wildlife pond with a tranquil waterfall, safely fenced off. A gazebo nestled in the back corner provides a shaded retreat from the sun.
Multiple patio areas around the gardens offer ideal spots for al fresco dining and entertaining, providing the perfect settings to fully appreciate the picturesque surroundings and enjoy the sunshine throughout the day.
