Description
A historic country house with a separate coach house, beautiful grounds and far-reaching views.
Drakestone House is set in the magnificent countryside with far-reaching views across this rural yet accessible part of Gloucestershire.
The impressive home was built between 1908 and 1911 and constructed of beautiful natural golden limestone. The property is Grade II* listed.
The accommodation is versatile and has been a family home and wedding/private hire venue. The property is beautifully presented and full of character. The stunning staircase, exposed beams and fine decorative plasterwork are a few of the many highlights. The principal rooms face south, taking full advantage of the views and light overlooking the private gardens and grounds.
Gardens and Grounds:
The gardens are divided by yew hedges and shrubs. There is a water garden, a former kitchen garden, terraces, and many impressive trees. Beyond is a tennis court and paddock with its own road access. There is stabling for ponies with water and electricity, along with an area for an all weather riding arena(subject to the necessary planning permission). In all about 9 acres.
The Coach House:
Accessed off the main drive, the Coach House has recently been extended and refurbished to create a fabulous home—beautifully finished rooms with many original features retained.
The ground floor kitchen/dining area has large, glazed walls overlooking a courtyard with mature trees beyond. There is also a sitting room, utility room, and two spacious bedrooms with a family bathroom. On the second floor, two further bedrooms with en suite shower rooms fit into the eaves of the former stables and coach house. Ideal for family, guests or letting out.
Rights of Way:
A public footpath crosses part of the land on the northeast boundary. Further details are available from the Vendor's agent.
